Roof window expert VELUX has pioneered a line of new generation products that will see its full range of windows enhanced with subtle yet significant changes.
The New Generation of roof windows will be launched in the UK in February 2014 and will offer increased access to daylight, contemporary aesthetic design, and improved energy efficiency.
VELUX has set new standards for the industry with the improved and innovative products, while retaining the tried and tested construction principles that VELUX Roof Windows are renowned for.
With the use of ThermoTechnology, improved insulation has been introduced with a u-value of 1.2 for all standard VELUX Roof Windows. The introduction will allow users to reduce energy consumption and contribute to low energy buildings, providing a long term solution for energy saving ambitions.
With quality of working and living conditions a crucial factor in buildings of today, the New Generation products have been designed to ensure significantly increased access to daylight, as well as improved insulation and increased solar gain. It has been well documented that exposure to daylight in homes and buildings can increase productivity and improve living conditions, and the innovative new products aim to improve the comfort and well being of all end users.
Not only do the New Generation products offer an improvement to the building environment, the new range boasts improved contemporary design. Slimmer sashes and frames offer a more modern look to roof windows both internally and externally and a new multi level bracket also allows faster installation at two different levels in the roof – both standard and recessed.
The products will also afford its users an exceptional supply and control of fresh air to provide a better indoor climate. The new INTEGRA control pad has been redesigned to ensure customers have a simple and user friendly operation to open and close windows with the touch of a button.
Charlotte Chapman, Marketing Manager of VELUX said: “Our New Generation products are designed to suit modern architecture and move further towards energy efficient buildings, as well as providing a roof window that is contemporary and aesthetically pleasing. The new line of products will be beneficial to architects aiming to design buildings with more daylight, better insulation and overall comfort for their owners and occupants.”
“We are excited about the New Generation products, and hope that architects will be keen to share the benefits of the range with customers. We are proud to continue our ambition of continuous innovation of our products and making the best even better at every opportunity.”
