"I have had the opportunity to specify and fit Heritage conservation roof windows within a heritage listed site. We removed existing conservation roof lights and replaced them with the new VELUX Heritage ones. The performance and look of the product have exceeded our expectations and satisfied the clients aesthetics. I will be specifying them again with confidence."
