VELUX flat roof windows are designed to bring natural light into flat-roofed spaces, making rooms feel brighter, more spacious and more welcoming, so these areas can enjoy the same benefits as pitched roof windows.


VELUX curved glass rooflight

 

Suitable for roof pitches from 0 to 15°, the VELUX curved glass rooflight uses VELUX’s innovative CurveTechTM design to allow rainwater to run off the glass naturally, helping maintain clear views and a smart exterior appearance. A slim internal frame and high-performance glazing deliver generous daylight with a minimalist, modern look inside the room. 

 

Fixed rooflight: Ideal when you want maximum daylight with no need for opening, giving a sleek, unobtrusive appearance and strong thermal performance. 

 

Manual Opening: Allows you to manually open the roof window with a telescopic rod if you need the option to open it occasionally. 

 

Electric or solar opening rooflight: Provides controllable ventilation at the touch of a switch or remote, often with rain sensors to close automatically in bad weather for added convenience and protection. 


VELUX flat glass rooflight 



Designed for roof pitches from 2 to 15°, the VELUX flat glass rooflight features a flat, toughened glass surface above an insulated frame, giving a flush, contemporary finish that suits modern extensions and refurbishments. It is designed to offer excellent energy performance and sound reduction while flooding rooms with soft, even daylight. 

 

Fixed rooflight: Best where ventilation is provided elsewhere. This option maximises light while keeping the unit simple, secure and highly energy efficient. 

 

Manual Opening: Ideal for when you need to open the roof window occasionally. 

 

Electric or solar opening rooflight: Allows natural ventilation to reduce humidity and improve indoor comfort, with discreet motors and simple wall-switch or remote-control operation. 


VELUX dome with glazing 



The VELUX dome with glazing is an advanced flat roof window designed for roof pitches between 0° and 15°. It combines a durable polycarbonate dome with an insulated two-layer glazing unit, including an inner laminated pane, to deliver energy-efficient daylight and fresh air while maintaining good indoor comfort.  

 

Thanks to its strong thermal insulation and classic dome shape, it is well suited to both homes and public buildings, helping to drain rainwater and dirt effectively from the roof surface. 

 

Fixed dome window: Suited to stairwells, corridors, and areas where daylight is the main requirement, with a focus on reliability and thermal insulation. 

 

Manual or electric opening dome: Offers background ventilation for kitchens, bathrooms, or circulation spaces, with the electric option improving ease of use on higher or hard-to-reach roofs.
