It’s fair to say that the past year has brought us much of the same challenges as 2020. But despite the inconsistencies and trepidation with ever-changing restrictions, the home improvements boom has continued to keep us booked up throughout the winter period, and this shows no real sign of slowing down any time soon.
So, what does 2022 with VELUX have in store for us? Well, from new products to brilliant bonus schemes, there’s plenty to keep you occupied…
New Product launches
Launching Spring 2022 is the brand new VELUX GGLS 3-in-1 INTEGRA® solar variant. The new product is solar powered and comes with three windows in one frame. The solar-powered VELUX 3-in-1 gives full flexibility for ultimate control and convenience. You can control each individual sash, blind, and heat protection product manually, remotely or with a VELUX intelligent home control system. Get in touch for more information!
2021 saw one of our biggest launches yet with the New Generation flat roof windows, enabling more people to benefit from daylight and ventilation through the roof. In 2022, the Flat Roof window range will be extended with three bigger sizes; 150 x 100 cm, 150 x 150 cm and 200 x 100 cm. Glass rooflights, blackout blinds and heat protection products, as well as a new insect screen will be available from spring 2022 for all Flat Roof window sizes. In addition, a solar vented rooflight variant will launch in Autumn 2022.
2022 will also bring the panoramic top-hung VELUX GPLS 3-in-1. Customers will be able to enjoy the best view with the 3-in-1 manual top-hung roof window, from Spring 2022. The elegant handle at the bottom of the window allows it to be opened to 45° for an extra spacious balcony feeling. Three roof windows in one frame GPLS opens the room up for an uninterrupted view. Gorgeous! Remember, VELUX 3-in-1 roof windows also count as 3 units in VELUX Rewards!
