We design our roof windows to last and perform while reducing their environmental footprint through thoughtful material choices, energy-efficient solutions, and packaging with less plastic.

It’s all part of our commitment to helping you create a healthier, more comfortable home without compromising environmental responsibility.

On average, 97% of the primary packaging used in our residential division in Europe consists of recyclable paper and cardboard. Globally, we continue to remove plastic packaging from our products, making recycling simpler and faster, while also minimising the impact on the planet.

A VELUX roof window is constructed using high-quality materials and extensively tested to ensure durability, reliability and high performance for generations to come.*

_{*VELUX roof windows meet the highest quality standards and undergo extensive testing. This includes exposing the roof window to a year’s rainfall in just 15 minutes, and a mechanical test that opens and closes the window 25,000 times. That’s the equivalent of opening and closing the roof window, twice a day, for 34 years.}

As part of an industry that accounts for over a third of the global CO2 emissions, we want to be part of finding ways to build more sustainably. Through our Build for Life project and Living Places concept, we aim to lead the way within the building industry and show how rethinking buildings can help solve some of the global climate and health challenges we face.

Children’s Living Places

Initiated by SOS Children’s Villages Denmark, Children’s Living Places will house children displaced by the war in Ukraine. It comprises three clusters of low-carbon, healthy homes, where children will live with foster families, receive psychosocial support and have access to shared recreational spaces.
