Benefits of VELUX Skylights
Cost effective
VELUX skylights are an investment, but you can expect a good return on that investment. They can reduce heating and cooling costs because of the extra sunlight and the option to open the window for venting. Some of the brand’s latest models also offer superior protection against the elements. The newest types have built-in sensors that trigger the skylight to close during rain automatically.
Eliminates mould and mildew
Windowless roofs are prone to harbouring moisture which causes mould and mildew. In some cases, mould and mildew need treating with harsh chemicals (typically bleach) toxic to the environment. Mould spores also lower indoor air quality and exacerbate allergies and asthma causing irritated eyes, nose, and throat. Skylights eliminate mould and mildew by letting in light, a natural deterrent to fungi and bacteria. They also warm up the temperature which reduces mould-friendly moisture.
Energy savings
Skylights improve energy efficiency by heating and cooling your home with less need for an HVAC system. It’s essential your skylights are correctly installed, however, so there’s no possibility of drafts or excess heat which could spike energy bills. Switching to a double-pane skylight can also reduce heat loss by 15%, saving roughly $2,500 in energy costs. Ideally, a skylight with a southern exposure will warm the home best in the winter months. Also use insulated wood, vinyl, or fibreglass window frames instead of energy-inefficient aluminium and steel.
Are VELUX skylights worth it?
Many people mistakenly think getting a skylight or a roof window installed must be expensive, weaken the roof, and just cause new leaks in the roof. In fact, the complete opposite is true on all counts. We supply skylights that are inexpensive and require no significant structural changes to your roof.
What's the difference between a skylight and a VELUX?
Most skylights are all manually operated, so they're best for in-reach applications. VELUX Skylights, on the other hand, can be solar, electric, or manually operated. When it comes to traditional skylight variations, they can be installed to numerous application options which offer some flexibility in terms of pitch and orientation. VELUX skylights have much more nuanced differences and can be compatible with a wider range of blinds compared to skylights.
Why choose us?
All skylights sold online by Eco Sustainable House come with high-performance double glazing, providing superior heat block, noise reduction and lower maintenance. If you've seen a cheaper Velux skylight elsewhere, chances are it only has the comfort glazing, which is not rated for skylights installed 3 metres or more above floor level. Our vast range of sizes, options and finishes gives you the means to make the very best of every project.
