New VELUX roof window brings daylight and fresh air to historic buildings

Whether in a conservation area or a listed building, it pays to extend the life of our traditional and historic buildings through careful and appropriate product design and specification.  The new VELUX Heritage conservation roof window allows homeowners to modernise their historic houses whilst respecting the heritage of the building.

The new Heritage conservation roof window has been co-created with conservation officers and architects to ensure that it complies with the strict design requirements for historic, heritage and conservation buildings, while at the same time meeting the standards of modern living with its sleek design, high thermal performance and seamless integration with the roof.

The slim, black exterior profile of the roof window blends beautifully into the roofing materials, while its glass-to-edge technology lets in as much daylight as possible. The aesthetic of the roof window mimics old cast iron windows and by using the original hand-winder for natural ventilation, the homeowners can enjoy a fresh indoor climate and light feeling to their space.

The heritage conservation roof window is available in 9 different sizes to match all types of retrofitting or roof projects.

It guarantees the thermal efficiency of Uw 1.3 W/m²K and other premium features such as:

• Manual operation
• Top-hung
• 9 sizes
• Suitable for slates and plain tiles
• Rain noise reduction, safety lamination, toughened outer glass, easy-to-clean coating and UV filter
• Roof pitch: between 20°- 65°

Just like all VELUX roof windows, the new VELUX Heritage conservation roof window is a high-quality product that has been built to last. It is designed and extensively tested to provide full durability – wherever it’s installed, whatever the weather.
