VELUX Skylights

Types of Velux Skylights

• Fixed Skylights: These skylights are designed to provide daylight without ventilation. Fixed skylights are perfect for areas where airflow isn’t necessary but natural light is desired, such as hallways or stairwells.
• Ventilated Skylights: These models can be opened to allow fresh air into your home. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces, ventilated skylights enhance indoor air quality and help reduce humidity.
• Solar-Powered Skylights: Combining energy efficiency with modern technology, these skylights feature solar-powered opening mechanisms, allowing homeowners to control ventilation remotely. They are perfect for hard-to-reach areas.
• Roof Windows: Designed for use in sloped roofs, roof windows provide a larger opening and a better view. They are often used in loft conversions and attics, allowing for maximum light and space.
• Skylight Blinds: Velux offers a range of custom blinds designed to fit their skylights. These provide added privacy, light control, and energy efficiency, enhancing the overall functionality of the skylight.

Benefits of Velux Skylights

1. Natural Light
One of the primary advantages of Velux skylights is their ability to flood your home with natural light. Increased daylight can create a more welcoming atmosphere, reduce reliance on artificial lighting, and enhance the overall aesthetics of your space.

2. Improved Ventilation
Ventilated skylights promote airflow, helping to regulate your indoor temperatures and reduce humidity. This is especially beneficial in areas prone to moisture, as it can help prevent mold and improve air quality.

3. Energy Efficiency
Many Velux skylights are designed with energy-efficient features, such as low-E glazing and insulated frames. This can contribute to lower energy bills by reducing heating and cooling demands.

4. Enhanced Property Value
Installing Velux skylights can increase your home’s value and appeal. Natural light and ventilation are attractive features for potential buyers, making your property more marketable.

5. Customization Options
Velux offers various sizes, shapes, and styles to fit different architectural needs. Homeowners can also choose from a selection of blinds and shades for added functionality and aesthetics.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the skylight glass clean to maximize light transmission. Use non-abrasive cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the glazing.
• Check Seals: Inspect the seals and flashing around the skylight periodically for signs of wear or damage. Addressing any issues promptly can prevent leaks.
• Inspect Blinds: If your skylight has blinds, ensure they are functioning correctly and free from debris. Regularly clean and maintain them to prolong their lifespan.
