Frequently asked questions
What are roof windows and skylights?
At VELUX, we specialise in roof windows - innovative solutions designed to bring natural light and fresh air into your home through the roof. While 'skylight' and 'roof window' are often used interchangeably, there are some subtle differences:
- Roof Windows: These are typically larger windows that can be opened fully, perfect for loft conversions or rooms with sloped ceilings. They offer both abundant light and excellent ventilation options.
- Skylights: This term often refers to fixed or minimally opening windows installed in roofs. They're great for bringing light into various spaces, from hallways to living rooms.
- Fixed (non-opening): ideal for places where ventilation isn't required but you don't want to compromise on daylight.
- Manual (hand-operated): for windows that are easily within your reach
- Electric (operated by wall switch) and solar-powered (operated by remote, powered by solar energy): the ideal solutions for ultimate comfort in your home.
While both roof windows and traditional skylights can transform your living space with natural daylight, VELUX windows offer additional benefits such as improved energy efficiency and versatility.
