Planning to renovate your home? A great opportunity to add roof windows!

Are you planning a roof renovation? A roof renovation project is the perfect time to add one or more roof windows to the house, as it will most likely not get any more convenient and cost-effective than this.

Benefits of adding roof windows to the mix while renovating your house’s roof.

To renovate your house's roof can be like changing tires on your car, the car will look the same but work and feel so much better. Your house will of course also look better on the outside, but the main reason you renovate the roof is to keep your house dry and healthy on the inside.

Adding one or several roof windows will have a very positive effect on both health and comfort of your house. The benefits of natural daylight are sometimes underestimated, and only after installing roof windows you will notice how a dark, uninviting room transforms into a lively space you will love.

A VELUX roof window doesn't just bring daylight to your house it also gives you better indoor climate by using the flap ventilation.

A new roof generally lasts about 40-50 years before it needs to be renovated again, and the lifespan of a VELUX roof window is at least 40 years. Since the lifespan of a newly renovated roof and a VELUX roof window are pretty much the same, it makes a lot of sense to renovate a roof and install a roof window at the same time.

Ease and cost-efficiency of adding a roof window while renovating your roof.

A roof renovation is often a two-man job, while installing a roof window takes maximum two sets of hands. This means that your roof renovation team can work time-effectively on both the roof renovation and roof window installation, while supporting each other when needed.

When renovating a house’s roof, all the necessary tools and equipment for a roof window installation are already on the site. This will save time, money and effort.

Why you should replace an old roof window by a new one when renovating your roof.

When renovating a roof with an old roof window, it might be difficult to ensure that the old cladding is in good condition and fits with the new roof. In worst case scenario you will have to change the old roof window in a few years anyway. If you want to play it safe and make sure that your roof solution lasts for decades, a roof renovation is the time to also replace the old roof window.

As mentioned above, a tile roof lasts for about 40-50 years whereas a VELUX roof window lasts for minimum 40 years. Replacing an old roof window at the same time as you´re renovating the roof is great opportunity to get their lifespans in sync.
