Let’s create outstanding
homes together
We’ve been thinking about your business
Builders face more challenges today than ever before. Concerns over adequate daylight, regulations, and privacy issues, all while adding living spaces to tight lot developments, aren’t always easily fixed. Luckily, VELUX is ready to help builders solve these common challenges.
Why roof windows?
Daylight is powerful. It redesigns the look and feel of our newly built homes every hour of the day. It balances our Circadian rhythm, improves our general health and well-being, decreases our dependency on electricity, and gives functionality back to our space. We often ask, “Why roof windows,” but with endless reasons why you should install a roof window the question becomes more, “Why not roof windows?”
More daylight and more nature into the house
Roof windows are shown to provide at least twice as much light as vertical windows of the same size. They also provides a larger variation of light levels, which increases the appearance in size in the room and gives it a transformative effect. They connect us with sunlight, with views of sky and trees, with fresh air and with changing the weather. You can use windows in your new build project to connect the indoors with outdoor views, make the room feel spacious and to frame existing perspectives in attractive ways.
Natural ventilation: Create an optimal indoor climate
Good air quality in a newly built home will ensure a better standard of living for your customers. Ventilation is important, not only for managing condensation from humid areas of the house like the bathroom and kitchen, but also for keeping a controlled temperature. In warm summers, natural ventilation can be used to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. In this situation there is no heat loss to consider – on the contrary, there is a potential for saving energy for cooling, with air conditioning, if it is installed in the building.
Heat protection -ability to control indoor climate.
Reduced artificial lighting: More sustainable and lower energy bills
Maximising natural light means less need for artificial lighting which can dramatically reduce the cost of energy bills. Of course, the amount of daylight will be dependent on the building type and positioning of the roof window. At the same time, ensuring you have the right glazing installed will prevent unnecessary heat loss and reduce the amount of energy used within the property. Our architects are happy to help you position the roof windows so your housing project gets the maximum daylight exposure.
Increase property value and sell your houses faster
Roof windows are also becoming more attractive to homeowners as working from home became a larger part of our lives and as our homes play a more significant role in both work and relaxation.
Housebuilders in our network have mentioned that when compared to other home improvements, roof windows add a more unique and distinctive change to the properties they sell which is a big selling point for potential buyers.
Thinking of differentiating as a housebuilder by transformingspaces into favourite places with roof windows?
