Daylight plays an important role in our mental and physical well-being. We spend a lot of time indoors, either at home or at our workplace. While we cannot always make significant changes to the office, we can bring solutions to our own homes to create a better indoor environment. Research has shown that sitting close to a window increases our well-being; let VELUX roof windows provide this benefit and more. Read our 10 reasons why you should let more natural daylight into your home.

Natural daylight helps a home look its very best, making spaces appear bigger and highlighting furniture, artwork and architectural features.

Daylight from roof windows - let the light in
1. Reduce heating costs with natural daylight
Sunlight through your windows will naturally increase the room temperature. It is an easy win. Strategically placed VELUX roof windows can save money on your utility bill.
