Daylight from above...
AMPLIFIES SPACE
Coming from above, zenithal light illuminates walls evenly, eliminating dark corners. This makes the room appear more spacious.
DOUBLES THE BRIGHTNESS
For the same glass size, a roof window captures a larger portion of the sky, doubling the amount of natural daylight compared to a vertical window.
EFFECTIVE AT ANY EXPOSURE
A roof window captures light from the brightest part of the sky, regardless of the house’s orientation.
TRANSFORMS THE ATMOSPHERE
As a bright, intense white light that meets no obstacles, zenithal light reflects the true colors of furniture and walls, making the atmosphere more vibrant and natural.
REDUCES THE NEED FOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
The roof window captures light from the early hours of dawn until late sunset, delaying the moment you need to turn on a lamp. The abundance of natural daylight ensures the room feels well-lit even on cloudy days.
PROMOTES WELL-BEING
By creating a direct connection with the sky and the shifting brightness throughout the day, zenithal light keeps you more active, improving psychological well-being and mood.
Discover flat roof window
VELUX offers a complete range of windows for flat roofs, featuring 4 models: fixed, opening, roof exit, and smoke and heat evacuation. They can be installed on any roof with a pitch between 0° and 15° (some models from 2° to 15°) and are customizable in size... and even shape: circular versions are also available!
THREE SOLUTIONS, ONE GOAL
Curved Glass:
A sleek, intelligent design. Water glides off easily, ensuring a consistently clear view of the sky.
Flat Glass:
Minimalist and nearly invisible. It lets in more light and integrates perfectly into any flat roof.
Dome:
Diffuses natural light broadly and evenly, making rooms brighter and more welcoming.
A light-filled home is a happy home
NATURAL LIGHT ISN'T JUST FOR SEEING: IT IS A VITAL PRESENCE THAT TRANSFORMS ROOMS INTO REGENERATING SPACES, GIVING US TRUE WELL-BEING.
Blinds and shutters are not just accessories, but essential tools for comfort: they modulate light, protect against heat, and ensure privacy.
Goodbye to dark corners
While vertical windows only illuminate the perimeter of a room, flat roof windows light up spaces in depth. This ensures that light is always well-distributed and even throughout the day, and air exchange is faster and more effective.
Infinite design solutions
Customizable in size, VELUX flat roof windows can even be integrated into walkable glass floors, offering flexible and high-impact solutions—such as visually connecting a terrace with the room below while illuminating it. The only limit is... the designer's imagination!
Work better
Working in spaces with high levels of daylight increases concentration by up to 15%, making daily tasks less tiring and more enjoyable.
Increased livability
Roof windows are a design element that allows for the creation of new living spaces without building from scratch, or making previously unusable environments livable.
Children learn healthy rhythms
Plenty of natural light in children’s and teenagers' rooms helps them develop a proper sleep/wake cycle and establish a healthy routine of play, study, and rest from an early age.
Improved sleep
Receiving ample natural light during the day helps produce serotonin—the "feel-good hormone"—guaranting better sleep at night while reducing stress and anxiety.
Healthier air
Well-lit environments reduce the risk of allergies. Sunlight acts as a natural disinfectant and helps combat humidity, significantly improving indoor air quality.
Relaxation + comfort in the bathroom
Beyond the stunning visual effect, a roof window in the bathroom offers many advantages: it ensures privacy; zenithal light is the best for mirrors; and the "stack effect" quickly clears the room of steam.
VELUX = VENTILATION PLUS LIGHT
Did you know that the VELUX story began in a Danish school?
The first roof windows were designed to bring more natural light and ventilation into classrooms built in attics. The name itself reflects the concept: VE for ventilation, LUX (latin) for light.
Founded in Denmark in 1941 and established in Italy since 1977, VELUX has had a clear mission for over 80 years: to improve the way we experience indoor environments.
