Benefits of VELUX Windows
There are many benefits to choosing VELUX windows. Some of them include:
Easy & Quick Installation
VELUX windows are easy and quick to install. Each VELUX window comes with an installation guide and a scannable QR code that directs you toward instructional videos for easy installation. In addition to that, you can also install your VELUX roof windows from the inside of the window recess, which can streamline the whole installation process.
Get More Natural Light
Both small and big VELUX windows can completely transform your interior space simply by allowing more sunlight into your home. This is especially true for VELUX window installations that are taking place as part of loft conversions, which would otherwise be pitch-black on the inside.
Energy-Efficient
Along with natural light coming into your home, VELUX windows also offer a few unique design features to help you save on energy costs. One example is the airtight seals, which are great at preventing the transfer of air from the outside to the inside of your home and vice versa.
Improve Indoor Ventilation
Poor air circulation, especially in key areas of your property such as your loft can lead to the build-up of condensation and mould. To prevent that, many homeowners opt for VELUX skylight windows, which greatly improve the circulation of air in areas that would otherwise be hard to ventilate.
Make Your Roof More Stylish
Aside from their functional capacity, VELUX roof windows are also capable of adding a stylish touch to your roof - whether you've chosen to go with a traditional clay roof or something more contemporary. They also come in various designs and colour options to match the rest of your roof.

FAQs About VELUX Roof Windows
How Long Does a VELUX Roof Window Last?
VELUX offers a 10-year warranty on all of their roof windows. So, should you experience any faults with the window during that period, you are fully covered. In terms of longevity, VELUX customers report that their windows have lasted between 20, and in some cases, even 30 years.
That said, how long your VELUX roof window will last depends on several factors, such as the quality of installation, the level of maintenance you carry out, and the weather conditions outside. If you'd like to maximise the lifespan of your VELUX windows, you should:
- Regularly clean the window and the air filter
- Keep the hinges and flashing clean (at least once a year)
- Repaint the VELUX window frames for an improved look
- Invest in a VELUX maintenance kit (such as lubricant for the hinges)
Do VELUX Roof Windows Have Ventilation?
Yes, VELUX roof windows do have a ventilation flap, which can provide your indoor space with a continuous flow of fresh air. This is a nice feature to have, especially during the winter or the summer as opening your windows can quickly make the temperature in your home drop or rise. When you use the ventilation flaps of your VELUX roof windows, you're not only getting fresh air all the time but your indoor temperature will remain unaffected.
Where Are VELUX Windows From?
Although VELUX is a Danish manufacturing company, their products, such as the VELUX pitched and flat roof windows are made in 11 different countries from around the world.
How Much is a VELUX Roof Window?
VELUX roof windows vary in price. Some factors that can influence the price of a VELUX roof window include the size, type of operation, materials, finish, and more. For instance, manual VELUX pitched roof windows will cost less compared to electric VELUX pitched roof windows purely because their operation type is more complex.
Do You Need Planning Permission For a VELUX Window?
No, you don't need planning permission when installing a VELUX window. That said, please keep in mind that any roof alteration projects must follow a set of specific rules. When it comes to VELUX roof windows, they must:
- Not protrude 150mm above the current roof plane
- Not exceed the highest point of your roof plane
If you plan on installing several large VELUX roof windows, it's wise to consult with a professional so that you are all in the clear as far as building regulations are concerned.
