Attic Conversion with roof windows

 

Attic conversion is easy with roof windows from VELUX UK.

 

For over 60 years VELUX Company Ltd has manufactured the world's leading roof windows for new buildings as well as for attic conversion. From the first windows of 1941 VELUX has developed an extensive range envied throughout the marketplace. VELUX provide not only solutions to immediate problems, but offer an unequalled variety of different shapes and sizes allowing the architect to make positive design statements. Used imaginatively, VELUX roof windows can become the focal point around which a property can be built.
 

The concept of space and light in attic conversion and new building having positive psychological, health, and energy saving benefits is well documented. In America research has shown that exposure to spectrum light results in better moods, improved attendance at work, dental health, and increased concentration levels. It is appropriate that the name VELUX is a combination of the latin words VEntilatio and LUX for ventilation and light.

The Facts

 

Daylight is essential for the growth of all living things. The fresh air we breathe and an outlook to the world around us are equally vital to our wellbeing. This recognition lies at the heart of everything we do at VELUX - linking natural resources with human needs. For almost 60 years we have pursued our ambition to improve the living environment for people all over the world.
It is our conviction that The Living Attic™ is the source of optimum living and working space. The Living Attic means daylight, fresh air and outlook for people who live, work, relax and enjoy themselves under the sloping roof. Our core product is the VELUX roof window and skylight for new buildings and attic conversion - today an internationally known and registered trademark in more than 70 countries. However, VELUX also works in related business areas united under the same umbrella of light, air and outlook.

 

•  The VELUX system comprises VELUX roof windows and skylights, and supplementary products such as decoration and sunscreening, roller shutters, flashings and installation products. The comprehensive VELUX system brings daylight, fresh air and outlook to rooms under the sloping roof whilst also creating a unique atmosphere.


•  Modern, slender-profiled vertical windows admitting large amounts of light, with dimensions tailored exactly to the requirements of the customer, and of course windows that require no maintenance because of the exterior aluminium cover - that is the basic idea of VELFAC vertical window systems.


•  VITRAL glazing panels for glass roofs and balcony systems give character to the architecture of a building. They provide lots of daylight, an unobstructed view, an excellent indoor climate, and comfortable living conditions.


•  Natural ventilation from WindowMaster reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions whilst improving the indoor climate compared to buildings with mechanical ventilation or air condition. WindowMaster also offers electric window operators, control systems and other electronic products for energy-saving regulation and control of the indoor climate. 
 
 
VELUX has a presence in some 40 countries around the world, meaning just about every market north of 30º latitude in the northern hemisphere and south of 30º in the southern hemisphere. These are the climatic areas of the world where VELUX roof windows and skylights find their natural place in architecture and the traditions of people’s homes.
