Poor housing with bad ventilation has resulted in more and more people suffering from allergy and asthma. A building designed like a closed box prevents the home from "breathing" resulting in deteriorated living conditions for the occupants. Natural ventilation is therefore a focal point in VELUX Sustainable Living.

A natural air shift means that moisture and particles are actively channelled out of the building making it appear fresh and inviting. Integrated VELUX ventilation flaps help ventilate the room without having to leave the window open.
If one of the roof windows is installed in the open roof construction, the house can also be ventilated in a few minutes via the so-called chimney effect. Open the roof window and a facade window and the air is replaced in no time. The house retains its heat as practically all heat energy is stored in the building's materials. Heat loss through the ventilation flap is to a large extent offset by the energy supplied by the window itself - furthermore dry air is always cheaper to heat up than moist air.
  
  

Achieve a healthier balance in the building's indoor climate


 

Ventilate the home

A ventilated building is a healthier building with fewer particles and allergens in the air. And daily ventilation does not necessarily increase the heating bill.Read more

Utilize daylight the right way

The architecture of the home and the lay-out of rooms determine where and how you obtain the greatest benefit by installing rooflight.Read more

Control daylight and heat with sunscreening

Daylight can either be warm or cold, sharp or soft. Use sunscreening to achieve the desired light effect and to minimise heat impact.Read more

Reduce noise

Noise from rain, hail and other sources of noise is bad for comfort. Roller shutters and noise-reducing panes keep noise levels low.
