5 Components of VELUX Skylights
With over 80 years of experience, VELUX skylights and roof windows are the preferred choice for hundreds of thousands of homeowners across the country. That’s because they offer an unparalleled combination of beauty, performance, and durability. With proper installation by a certified installer like Watkins Construction & Roofing, your new skylight will be leak-proof from day one!
Here are the five components of VELUX:
Cost
VELUX believes that the comfort you deserve should not be a luxury. All VELUX products feature high-quality craftsmanship and are available at affordable prices that won’t break your budget.
Quality
VELUX roof windows and skylights are built to last, using superior construction methods and top-of-the-line materials. VELUX skylights are designed to withstand the harshest weather and climates, while providing a beautiful and efficient way to bring light into your home.
Cleanliness
VELUX roof windows and skylights feature Neat® glass coating, enabling the skylight to stay cleaner longer, and leaving the surface virtually spotless. The Neat® coating is a hydrophobic treatment that repels water, dirt, and grime. This means that rainwater will beat up on top of the skylight’s surface, rather than being absorbed by it.
The result? Less cleaning and maintenance for you.

Efficiency
As the most popular skylight manufacturer in the world, VELUX has been a pioneer in energy efficient roof windows for decades. They were one of the first companies to introduce a high-efficiency skylight that used an insulated glass unit (IGU) to reduce heat loss through the roof. This can help you save money on your energy bills and keep your home more comfortable year-round.
VELUX roof windows and skylights reduce unwanted outside noise by up to 25 percent more than a standard double-pane glass, and up to 50 percent more than a plastic skylight.
Safety
Adhering to all building codes, VELUX recommends, and building codes require, laminated glass for out-of-reach applications. Laminated safety glass is made from two or more layers of glass that are bonded to each other with a transparent plastic interlayer. This bond makes the glass three times stronger than regular float glass and prevents the glass from breaking into sharp shards when impacted, providing additional protection against burglary attempts.
