6 Steps to Choosing the Right VELUX Windows

Step 1

What does your customer want to achieve?

  • What kind of room is it - bedroom, bathroom, stairwell, extension etc?
  • Consider how much daylight and view your customer wants.
  • Do they want a simple practical daylight solution or real wow factor?
Bathroom Stairwell

  • Consider increasing the size of the windows or combining them together.
  • Remember the more daylight a room receives the larger it will feel.
  • We recommend at least a minimum 15% glazed area to floor space.
