Creating a more efficient home with energy saving windows
- Roof windows can make your home more energy-efficient thanks to insulation and less use of artificial light.
- Calculate the energy efficiency of your current windows to find out if a roof window replacement will save you money and energy.
- If you accessorise your roof windows with the right blinds or shutters, you can ensure natural daylight is your main light source throughout the year.

Are your windows energy-efficient?
Save money and energy
New windows have better frames and better glass, thereby helping to save both money and energy. VELUX roof windows' materials are designed to reduce energy loss from your home.
Technological advancements that allow for better performing glazing (lower U values) prevent excessive heat from escaping the building. This means that buildings rely less on energy to heat up, thereby resulting in lower energy bills.
Moreover, replacing your old windows is necessary because the window's performance decreases with time. This is primarily because the insulating gas between glazing panes leaks over the years, making your window less and less efficient.

Make roof windows your most relied-on light source
It is also important to note that by adding windows to your home, you are adding a low-energy light source, saving you money in artificial lighting. If you select enough roof windows and place them correctly throughout your space, you can easily eliminate the need for artificial lighting during the day and save substantial amounts on your energy bills for years to come.
Accessorising those roof windows with the correct internal and external blinds and shutters can also help you keep the room temperature more stable throughout the year, meaning you rely less on expensive cooling and heating systems. In other words, windows are a far more natural (and sustainable) method of regulating your indoor climate.
