Energy performance
VELUX roof windows are designed for high Uw energy performance that protects against the cold outside while keeping the heat inside your room. The lower the Uw, the higher the insulation value of the glazing. VELUX flat glass rooflight, with Urc,ref300 of 0.60*, provides excellent energy efficiency.
- * Arc,ref300 = 4.1 m². U-value is stated for fixed variant with three-layer glazing unit. U-values and areas are calculated for window size 1.2x1.2m, with a curb height of 300mm, in accordance with method in EN 1873:2014+A1:2016.
Sound insulation
Sound insulation reduces the level of noise from eg. traffic outside. The higher the dB, the more the sound is reduced. Our glass rooflights have an excellent sound insulation of 42 dB (curved glass rooflight with triple glazing).
Safety and security
The safety and security of your home should be of the utmost importance for you and your family.
Criminals will often try to find weak points of the home to try and exploit, so you need to make sure they don’t exist. To be secure, you need rooflights that are tested to the burglary resistance standard.
The VELUX glass rooflight is delivered as burglary resistant as standard, meaning it complies with EU legislative requirements for burglary resistance, class 2.
