New VELUX Heritage conservation roof window
Designed for historical and heritage buildings, the new VELUX Heritage conservation roof window has been specifically designed to be in keeping with the heritage aesthetics of traditional buildings. Co-created with conservation officers and architects, the result is an authentic top-hung roof window that has a slim, black exterior profile which blends in seamlessly with the roofing materials while its central glazing bar gives historic authenticity.

"I have had the opportunity to specify and fit Heritage conservation roof windows within a heritage listed site. We removed existing conservation roof lights and replaced them with the new VELUX Heritage ones. The performance and look of the product have exceeded our expectations and satisfied the clients aesthetics. I will be specifying them again with confidence."
