The benefits of having abundant daylight in our homes are well documented. Studies show that students learn better and adults suffer less Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) when rooms are filled with daylight. But aside from documented psychological and physical benefits, it’s obvious that living and working in a naturally brightly lit space just makes life feel better.
When a new extension is built the original room is usually longer. This means that natural daylight has further to penetrate into the house as the vertical windows are moved further away. All too often, the original room becomes dark and gloomy and even on the brightest days could mean electric lights have to be switched on.
By using roof windows you can bring daylight deep into the living space, which makes the whole room feel brighter, larger and more welcoming.
VELUX have a wide range of products to help bring daylight into extensions. This section can give you help on selecting the right products.
Within this area you will find information on installation, flashing compatibility and installation products etc. We have designed this area to provide you with everything you need to know about VELUX products.
The VELUX Daylight Visualiser is a simple tool for daylight design and analysis. It is intended to promote the use of daylight in buildings and to aid professionals by predicting and documenting daylight levels and appearance of a space prior to realisation of the building design.
