Why VELUX Skylights and Sun Tunnels?
Dramatic rooms with health benefits and fresh air!
Including VELUX skylights and Sun Tunnels in your renovation or new home design adds beauty as well as value. Skylights and Sun Tunnels create an architectural statement that will bring drama to any room.
The health benefits of having abundant natural light and fresh air in indoor environments are well documented. People generally feel better, are more energetic, more focused and sleep better.
Natural ventilation allows fresh air to circulate through the home. An open skylight can take advantage of the
stack effect which releases hot air accumulating at the ceiling while bringing cooler, fresh air in through windows.
Introducing cooler air in the home also reduces the need for air conditioning.
Healthy Environments & Ventilation
Venting skylights open to produce a “passive air conditioner”, reducing electrical needs for A/C. Through the chimney effect, warm stale air is drawn up and out through the venting skylight providing a cooling effect and fresh air throughout the house.
Reduce Electrical Consumption
Skylights cut down the need for electric lighting. Skylights provide 100% more natural light than vertical windows and 200% more than dormers.
Function & Privacy
Skylights provide abundant natural light that transforms conventional rooms into splendid spaces while adding value to your home. They also provide privacy and natural light in bathrooms, especially in areas where homes are built close together.
