A warmer, cosier home starts above your head – by replacing your roof window

If your roof windows are 20+ years old, modern VELUX technology could transform your home. Today's roof windows bring in more daylight, keep rooms warmer in winter, and significantly reduce energy bills - and replacing them is surprisingly straightforward.

When and why should I replace my roof windows?

It’s time to replace your roof window if you notice your window is leaking when it rains, if the glass is no longer clear or broken, or if you can feel draughts around the frame. Roof window design has advanced tremendously in recent years and when you upgrade, you’ll feel the difference immediately. With a slimmer frame, a larger glazed area and the latest thermal glazing, your new VELUX roof windows will make your space feel bigger, brighter and fresher.

What are the benefits?

Improved energy efficiencyWhen it comes to insulation and energy efficiency, an old roof window (even in good condition) is no match for a modern VELUX roof window.
