The VELUX 2in1 guide - 2in1 sizes, features, benefits and more.

VELUX, the leading manufacturer of roof windows, has launched its all-new 2in1 roof window, which is an innovative and versatile product that offers both daylight and fresh air in a single unit. In this blog, we'll explore the features and benefits of the VELUX 2in1 roof window and why it is a game-changer for homeowners and architects alike.

What is a VELUX 2in1 roof window?

The VELUX 2in1 roof window is a new product that combines a roof window and a top-hung window in one unit. It features a unique design that allows the sash to be opened in two ways: either as a traditional roof window, where the sash is hinged at the top and opens outwards, or as a top-hung window, where the sash is hinged at the bottom and opens inwards. This dual functionality provides homeowners with the best of both worlds: they can enjoy natural daylight and fresh air from the same unit, all while saving space and installation costs.

Features and benefits of the VELUX 2in1 roof window.

Dual functionality: The VELUX 2in1 roof window offers homeowners the flexibility of having a fixed roof window and a top-hung or centre-pivot window in a single unit. , This is particularly useful for homes where space is limited, as it eliminates the need for two separate windows. It also adds the same amount of daylight without doubling the cost of the roof windows.

Increased ventilation: The top-hung or centre-pivot window function of the VELUX 2in1 roof window allows for increased ventilation, as the sash opens inwards on the centre-pivot models and outwards on the top-hung models which allows fresh air to circulate more effectively. This is particularly useful during the summer months, when homeowners want to keep their homes cool and well-ventilated.

Easy to Use: VELUX 2in1 roof windows are easy to use, with a standard operating roof window. The opening of the operating sash is just as easy and effortless as the standard single VELUX roof windows.

Energy Efficient: VELUX 2in1 roof windows are designed to be energy-efficient, with a tight seal that helps to prevent heat loss and keep your home warm in the winter. The Solar option also allows you to operate your roof window without using mains powered energy.

Versatile: VELUX 2in1 roof windows come in a range of sizes and styles, so you can choose the perfect window to suit your home's design and your personal preferences.

Easy to Install: VELUX 2in1 roof windows are designed to be easy to install, with a simple process that can be completed by a professional installer.
