Building for Active Adults

As the American baby boomer generation continues aging, active adult housing is becoming an increasingly more important and more profitable segment of the housing market. They want more light, unique homes, homes that have appealing options. They seek out homes that have living space that is more flexible. We want to help you deliver this and more to your customers. 

At VELUX, we are about more than just delivering a product. We want to be your daylight consultants. All day every day, we are working with architects and builders to support well-balanced light in the buildings they are creating. We believe that active adults can benefit from adding our skylights to their homes.
Facts

Facts

As we age, our physical needs and limitations change. Several recent studies show specific ways that regular exposure to natural daylight can lessen some of the effects of aging and have a positive effect on the health of active adults and seniors.
Desires

Desires

The desires and expectations of today's active adult are much different than those of previous generations. This is in large part because the baby boomer generation is more educated, more affluent, more socially oriented, and more physically active than any previous generation in US history. These characteristics have a significant impact on the buying and location decisions of today's active adult.
