1. History of VELUX
VELUX has a long and rich history that dates back to 1941. Villum Kann Rasmussen founded the company in Denmark, and its name is derived from two words: “ventilation” (VE) and “lux” (LUX), the Latin word for light. Rasmussen’s vision was to bring daylight and fresh air into people’s homes, leading to the creation of the first VELUX roof window. VELUX has since grown into a global leader, popular with homeowners and skylight installers alike.
2. Energy Efficiency
One of the standout features of VELUX skylights is their energy efficiency. These skylights are designed to minimize heat loss during the winter and reduce heat gain during the summer, helping homeowners save on energy costs. VELUX achieves this through advanced glazing technology and high-quality materials.
3. Health Benefits
VELUX skylights offer significant health benefits by bringing natural light into your home. Exposure to natural light improves mood, increases productivity, and regulates sleep patterns. VELUX skylights can also improve indoor air quality by providing natural ventilation.
4. Variety of Designs
VELUX offers a wide variety of skylight designs to suit different architectural styles and homeowner preferences. Homeowners can choose from different shapes, sizes, and features, including flat roof skylights, roof windows, and sun tunnels.
5. Leak-Proof Technology
VELUX addresses concerns about leaks with their leak-proof technology. All VELUX skylights come with a unique flashing system that ensures a watertight seal, preventing leaks and protecting your home from water damage.
