Guiding customers towards energy-efficient homes

In today’s climate of rising energy costs, prioritising energy efficiency in homes has become one of the most desirable factors.

VELUX roof windows present a practical solution to this challenge, offering benefits that extend beyond aesthetics. From reducing the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours to enhancing natural ventilation and optimising heating and cooling efficiency, roof windows play a pivotal role in creating more sustainable and healthy living spaces.

To help your customers create energy-conscious homes that are beautiful, comfortable and efficient, read on.

What homeowners can do to improve energy efficiency

• Replace old roof windows
  Older roof windows lack modern insulation materials and technologies which allow heat to escape in winter and enter in summer. What’s more, there can be a whole load of reasons as to why old roof windows need to be replaced. They could be single glazed, have air leakages, lack special coatings, be made from outdated materials or have an outdated design.
  

Just two changes can reap multiple benefits

• Reduced energy bills
  With energy-efficient roof windows, the need for artificial lighting, heating, air conditioning and ventilation becomes significantly reduced, resulting in tangible savings on utilities over time.
  
• Twice the natural light
  Roof windows are low-energy light sources, twice as effective as façade windows, and can reduce the need for artificial lighting by up to 20% in homes and 60% in office buildings.

• Four times the ventilation
  Natural ventilation using roof windows is far more energy efficient than air conditioning, and up to four times more effective than using façade windows alone.

• Three times the insulation
  New roof windows can have up to three times better thermal performance than old ones (that are ten years older or more), which can translate to significant energy savings.

• New, innovative technology
  Modern VELUX roof windows offer up to three times the thermal performance of older models. Their slimmer profiles allow for increased daylight intake when replacing an old roof window of the same size – doubly beneficial for homeowners!
  
• Replacements can be done under four hours
  Replacing old roof windows is hassle-free for both homeowners and you because it can be completed in just one day! That means quick results for customers and more jobs in the books for you.
