Our annual researched-based report, Healthy Homes Barometer 2022 shows that reducing indoor climate risks, such as exposure to damp and mould and rectifying the lack of daylight in residential buildings through proper renovation can bring many benefits, such as: energy savings, improved health or climate protection.
For a better balance between daylight and darkness, we encourage you to improve your home’s indoor climate by choosing blinds and shutters for roof windows. Daylight and darkness adjust the body’s internal clock via the hormones cortisol and melatonin – providing the basis for comfortable sleep and productive waking hours.
Daylight has both physical and psychological benefits on children. It stimulates brain and helps them to produce vitamine D, which is essential in bone development. Daylight also increases their learning abilities by up to 15%. It helps them concentrate better, be more productive and happier.
Quality roof windows represent a long-term investment in your home. Why? Because they can deliver twice as much daylight into your home than vertical windows. And plenty of daylight can give the feeling of more space and make your home seem bigger, warmer and cozier.
You can reduce artificial lighting by increasing natural light in your home. Here is a simple idea: place one or more roof windows above the kitchen table or dining area, so that you can reduce the need for electrical lighting. That is good for the environment, and also can save you money
Thanks to their high standard energy-efficient panes, our roof windows contribute to the reduction of energy consumption in your home and, therefore, help you save money with the bills. The latest generation roof windows can help you save approx. 40% of the energy required for heating a house.
Over 92,5% of our wooden windows can be recycled. Which decisively sets the development direction of the profile industry. We design our products so they can easily be disassembled and reused or recycled when they reach the end of their lifetime.
Because we only have one home and we need to protect it. In other words, it’s our nature! When manufacturing our roof windows we also have in mind creating a long product life for a better and healthier indoor space. VELUX roof windows are built to last and easy to maintain, upgrade and repair.
We are currently working on becoming Lifetime Carbon Neutral by capturing our historical C02 emissions – the equivalent of the VELUX Group’s total organisational carbon footprint over our 100-year lifetime – through forest conservation. We will also reduce our future carbon emissions from our entire value chain. Our aim? To secure a responsible business.
