Your customers are likely to be aware that new builds often come at a premium, as no one has lived in them before. However, they may also realise that when the time comes to sell, they could potentially get less than what they originally paid for it.  

However, to get the money back or to add profit, there are things they can do to add more value to their home. This includes a bathroom and kitchen upgrade, solar panels and new window installations. 

Roof window benefits to share with your customers  

  • More natural light, bigger and better views 
    Standard façade windows provide functional light and ventilation but they don’t fully illuminate the whole room, which can make them darker and less inviting. They’re also hindered by the physical structure of the building, which means the overall openness of the space is limited.  

 
Roof windows, however, bring more than twice as much natural light from above as façade windows of the same size. This amount of light transforms spaces by spreading light into every corner, creating a brighter, airier and more open atmosphere.  

What’s more, roof windows offer unique design possibilities. With a combination of roof windows, homeowners can create a balanced, functional and a visually striking home. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they provide expansive and elevated views of skylines, treetops or the stars at night, bringing nature closer. 
 

  • Healthier indoor climate  
    With more ways to bring in the fresh air, indoor air quality improves significantly. Ventilation reduces humidity, removes indoor pollutants and regulates the temperature.  

Improved ventilation can also lead to better sleep quality, as fresh air supports restful and uninterrupted sleep by keeping the room cool and the oxygen levels high. For homeowners who work from home, fresh air can boost productivity by increasing alertness and focus, as well as their wellbeing.  

For homeowners that want the added convenience, they can opt for solar or electric operation, allowing them to open and close the windows at the push of a button.  
 

  • Reduced energy bills 
    Careful placement of roof windows can reduce the need for artificial lighting as the house can be lit naturally for longer throughout the day.  
     
    What’s more, homeowners can control incoming heat with VELUX Anti-heat blinds or shutters. By closing them in the height of summer, they can keep the home cooler by reducing the amount of heat entering the home.  

With less need for artificial lighting and air conditioning, your customers can save on their energy bills. 
 

  • Increased property value and faster-selling homes 

Research from Blueoak Estates shows that homes with lots of daylight tend to sell faster, with 61% of properties being sold off-plan. 

Roof windows add the wow factor homeowners want. Since the average person spends 80-90% of their time indoors, it’s important that it’s a happy place to live, one where they can imagine relaxing, working from home and entertaining guests. 

Even if your clients aren’t looking to sell their home for years, adding roof windows will still add value to the home for when they do sell in future. And it goes without saying that they’ll reap the many benefits that come with living in a home with roof windows.
