Top VELUX Roof Windows for Pitched and Flat Roofs

Natural light is more than just illumination. The right window can greatly affect a space's atmosphere. It also impacts energy efficiency and overall well-being, whether for a pitched or flat roof. Our partnership with VELUX, a leader in innovative roof window solutions, allows us to bring this vision to life!

Do You Need Planning Permission for VELUX Windows on the Roof?

Generally, installing VELUX windows might fall under permitted development rights, meaning you may not require explicit planning permission.

However, there are exceptions. If your property is in a conservation area or listed building, or has other planning restrictions, you'll likely need specific approval. Additionally, factors such as the size, placement, and type of window can influence the planning permission requirements.

How to Clean VELUX Windows?

Most VELUX windows have a convenient tilting mechanism that allows you to clean the exterior panes from the inside. Simply open the window fully, then tilt the top sash outwards. For stubborn dirt, a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution should suffice. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the glass or frame.
