Top-hung VELUX ® roof windows, which open outwards<br />
rather than pivoting on a central axis, work well in loft<br />
spaces, as they ensure an uninterrupted view<br />
A WHOLE NEW VIEW<br />
The latest range of VELUX® roof windows will fill your loft or new extension<br />
with natural light as well as making the most of the views outside<br />
Opening up your home to its surroundings<br />
with roof windows and sun tunnels is the easiest<br />
way to let light flow through the house. And<br />
which company is best fixed to provide a<br />
solution? VELUX ® , of course.<br />
VELUX ® is a tried-and-tested favourite for loft conversions<br />
and extension projects, but you may be surprised to learn that its<br />
range stretches beyond centre-pivot pine roof windows designed<br />
for loft extensions. Top-hung options, for example, open<br />
outwards, offering additional headroom and also ensuring<br />
that your view is completely uninterrupted.<br />
The great variety of flat-roof window solutions means the<br />
sky’s the limit for bungalow dwellers, or anyone planning a<br />
low-level side extension, as a VELUX ® flat roof window can direct<br />
light into each corner of every space – from hallways and<br />
bedrooms to open-plan dining areas.<br />
Those of us who are planning a new project, whatever its size,<br />
should also take note of the VELUX INTEGRA ® range of electric<br />
roof windows, which taps into the latest trends in home<br />
technology, powered by either mains or solar supply. Fully<br />
electronic, the VELUX INTEGRA ® range of roof windows give<br />
you the flexibility to control how much light and air enters the<br />
house via a touchscreen control – this is especially suited for<br />
out-of-reach situations. For best results, it’s essential to specify<br />
these designs at the planning stage.<br />
Looks wise, VELUX ® has more options than the classic pine<br />
finish, with white polyurethane offering a smart alternative for<br />
homes that have a clean, modern-minimal style. Both practical<br />
and decorative, the polyurethane mould has no visible joins,<br />
ensuring a moisture-resistant finish, so it’s ideal for kitchens and<br />
bathrooms and has the bonus of being maintenance-free.<br />
In addition, VELUX ® offers a wide variety of glazing options to<br />
suit your requirements, including noise-reduction, triple glazing<br />
and an easy-to-clean coating.<br />
So whether you’re planning a major extension, converting the<br />
loft, or simply wish to treat your high-traffic areas to a boost of<br />
extra light, VELUX ® will have a solution that will not only<br />
improve your space, but also increase its re-sale value.
