Roof windows guarantee comfort in the attic

VELUX window sets - more light and a panoramic view

A sense of space, a panoramic view and a comfortable place to live are the benefits of installing roof windows in sets, that is, several roof windows directly next to or above each other. Thanks to such a solution, we will not only get better light into the interiors, but also take care of our health and well-being.

According to research, we spend as much as 90% of our time indoors. Properly selected and correctly positioned roof windows can significantly help us maintain comfortable conditions in the attic. This is because it turns out that they have a great impact on the energy efficiency of the building, daylighting of the rooms, as well as proper ventilation of the attic.

When deciding to install roof windows, it is worth bearing in mind that their number, placement and size will affect our comfort in the future. According to regulations, the window area should be a minimum of 10% of the floor area of the room. However, if you want to enjoy more light in the attic, you can install several windows side by side. Then the glazing can reach up to 30-40% of the floor area.

Roof window sets bring many benefits, not only providing beautiful light to the attic, but also providing a great view of the outdoors and contact with the environment.
The most common window set is two windows installed side by side.

When combining windows into sets, it is worth bearing in mind some rules: horizontally combine windows of the same height - in practice this is tantamount to the same size of windows. If the room is high then we can consider mounting the windows one above the other. However, you need to keep in mind that vertically we combine windows of the same width - while if you want to diversify the interior architecture, the windows can be of different lengths.

Those looking for non-standard solutions in the attic will like the combination of roof windows with knee windows. This is a solution that will not only optically enlarge the attic, but also open up to space and beautiful views. This will effectively increase the amount of glazing, which can stretch from the skylight even to the floor. In addition, bow windows are a great way to ventilate the interior even in very bad weather. Available in a tilt and turn version with wood technology, the VELUX VFE lap window, and a non-opening version with wood-polyurethane technology, the VELUX VIU window.
