The comfort of contemporary living is increasingly based on automation. Home and apartment owners today expect easy control, from heating to lighting. VELUX as a leader in the field of interior lighting is responding to this development: VELUX electric and solar roof windows are now more affordable.
It’s a lifestyle shift. Imagine busy mornings when you are getting the kids to school, preparing breakfast, and the kitchen is stuffy and humid. With electric and solar VELUX GLL roof windows with an aesthetic wooden frame or maintenance-free GLU roof windows with a white polyurethane coating, you can fully ventilate even when placing skylights high out of reach. Just press the remote control and the room will be filled with fresh morning air. they are also ready for connection to a smart home system (e.g. VELUX App Control).
Or imagine the peace of mind provided by an integrated rain sensor. A sudden summer shower will naturally come just when you are out with your family or doing something in another part of the house. The rain sensor catches the first drops and automatically closes the sunroof, protecting your interior. This is the new standard of living – a standard where the house actively participates in the comfort and safety of its inhabitants.
Modern houses are built as airtight to save energy for heating. At the same time, they keep moisture from cooking and showering or exhaled air in the interior. Automated regular ventilation restores a healthy indoor climate, removes pollutants and reduces humidity. It is proven to contribute to increased comfort at home and better concentration for those working, studying or playing. At the same time, clean air will positively affect the quality of sleep.
Modern improved triple glazing
The new generation of electric and solar-powered skylights features innovative glazing 64. This improved triple glazing is equipped with a special anti-fog treatment on the outside, which reduces the formation of dew on the outer glass on cold mornings and ensures a clearer view.
The commitment to contribute to the health of the population is consistent with sustainability. A well-insulated VELUX roof window improves the building’s energy efficiency. By introducing enough natural daylight and fresh air, the dependence on artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation is reduced. This leads to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint for the home.
VELUX products are designed to be very durable and long-lasting*. The VELUX Group is committed to sustainability, so its products are made to be repaired, refurbished and ultimately recycled at the end of their life cycle, preventing waste. Homeowners therefore invest in solutions that will last for many decades.
A complete comfort system
The experience is complete when an electric (solar) sunroof is combined with an electric (solar) sunroof. Homeowners can create the perfect atmosphere at any time of the day. This includes gently diffusing the morning light with a pleated blind (e.g. FML) as well as creating optimal lighting conditions for working from home or achieving total darkness for a restful night’s sleep with a blackout blind (e.g. DML). This creates a complete system for controlling light and ventilation, all from one remote control or smartphone app. Comfort is no longer a luxury, something extra. It’s a must-have for a modern home.
*/ VELUX roof windows meet the highest quality standards and undergo extensive testing. This involves subjecting the skylight to a year’s worth of rainfall for 15 minutes and a mechanical test where the window is opened and closed 25,000 times. That’s the equivalent of opening and closing the sunroof twice a day for 34 years.
