Say hello to our new generation of energy efficient roof windows
New generation launch brochure www.velux.nn
The new generation of VELUX roof windows delivers outstanding energy efficiency…
How did we do it? With clever engineering that resulted in slimmer frames, larger panes and improved insulation. The new generation of VELUX roof windows has it all. You get daylight and fresh air, while enjoying the energy-saving benefits of superior
insulation. Daylight and heat from the sun are free sources of energy that can minimise your energy use and bring down heating bills.
ThermoTechnology is a new insulation system that works via an ultrapower-ful material that keeps wind and cold air out and free heat from the sun in.
ThermoTechnology improves insulation via special materials.
Slimmer frames and a larger pane increase the total sum of daylight and solar heat in your home.
Two layers of glass provides an excellent energy balance, due to the improved solar gain in winter.
ThermoTechnology insulation turns the frame into a powerful shield against wind and cold air.
The top frame is slimmer, but much better insulated than before.

The new VELUX roof window looks great and works like a dream. But there is more to it than that. Combined, the innovations introduced with this
window go further than ever towards our goal of creating healthy, energy-efficient indoor environments through daylight and fresh air.
... and more than 40 other innovative improvements!
A new exterior design boasts a sleeker look.
Inside, the light, slender design gives you more window and less frame.
With the touch of your fingertip, you can remote control all your VELUX INTEGRA ® products – including roof windows, blinds and hutters. Control fresh air, sunlight and heat intake from the sofa downstairs.
A standard feature on our electric roof windows, the intelligent rain sensor makes sure the window will close automatically when it rains.
A solarpowered version of the VELUX INTEGRA ® roof window harnesses energy from the sun to open and close the window without requiring electrical wiring.
VELUX INTEGRA ® is a family of electrically interconnected roof windows, shutters and blinds improving indoor climate and energy efficiency even further via intelligent, automated operation.

You'll get an excellent energy balance
Energybalance
A window's energy balance is the difference between the amount of heat from sunlight the window transfers to your home and the amount of heat that escapes through the window. Ideally, heat loss should be low, while heat gain is high.
In short: With the new VELUX roof window, you insulate your roof with daylight and fresh air.

Scheduled programs:
Activate the program once, and the system will perform its tasks on a regular basis until the program is deactivated.
Energy Balance You can let the system manage thermal comfort automatically, governing a myriad of factors, all depending on where you live and which direction your windows face.
Airing Enables automatic, natural ventilation 4 times a day, where the roof window's ventilation flap is opened for 10 minutes. If it is raining, the rain sensor will close the windows, but leave the ventilation flap open.
Vacation ModeThe program operates shutters, awnings, blinds and electric light during the day and evening. All you need to do before leaving for vacation is to activate the programme with a few clicks on the touch screen.
Sun ShadingThis program activates all sunscreening solutions to protect the house from solar radiation during the hottest time of the day. This improves comfort and even helps prevent furniture from fading.
Manual programs:
Initiate these tasks whenever you like with a one-touch command.
VentingWith the touch of a button you can ventilate your home whenever you like by opening the windows 40% for ten minutes. The windows will close automatically if it starts to rain.
Leaving HomeLeave your house safely with the touch of a button. When you leave, all windows close, roller shutters run down, light is shut off, charger are shut off and locks are secured. You will not have to worry about a thing.
Good MorningWake up to a refreshing new day that starts with 10 minutes of ventilation. Your sun- screening solutions start work by pro viding a pilot light, that lets you get used to the light for 15 minutes.
Good NightWhen it's time for bed, just press a button and let your house tell you goodnight. You get 10 minutes of refreshing ventilation. Then, after 15 minutes, the roller shutters will close for privacy and shading.Finally, your electric light will be dimmed to 80% after 5 minutes, and turned off after 15. Sleep tight!
VELUX INTEGRA ® programs:

Windows, shutters, blinds and ventilation can all contribute to more comfortable and sustainable living. But these solutions need to be used properly to deliver on their promise.
Designed for use with our VELUX INTEGRA ® family of electrically interconnected windows and shading solutions, the new INTEGRA ® control pad makes it easier and faster to manage all electric VELUX products in your home – and even any other products that are io-homecontrol® compatible. And it gives you the choice of managing your products remotely yourself or letting the system manage them for you via a number of built-in programs.
For example, the “Energy Balance” program automatically optimises both your indoor climate and your energy efficiency, based on data about where you live, how your home is situated and where your windows are positioned.
io-homecontrol® provides advanced and secure radio technology that is easy to install. io-homecontrol® labelled products communi-cate with each other, improving comfort, security and energy savings.

How we make sure our windows always pass the ultimate test
Nobody tests the way the VELUX Group tests
One reason why VELUX roof windows are so reliable is that we put them through every imaginable test before they have to pass the ultimate test – installation in your home.
All testing work is completed at our own VELUX testing centre, where each individual roof window is inspected. We make sure the window is properly sealed and insulated, in addition to final-checking for flaws in the materials or assembly.
Wind tunnel testing detects any flaws in air and water-tightness.
Manual testing for acoustic insulation.
Testing of the rain sensors that close windows automatically when it rains.
All-temperature durability testing.
Testing for potential sources of electromagnetic inter ference at our state-of-the-art test facilities.
Panes are tested for strength and durability under a 50 kg load.

Renovation/replacement

Renovation can transform your home – and your heating billsYou might be surprised by the difference replacing your old roof window with a new VELUX roof window can make. Sure, you will get more light and fresh air – but did you know it can reduce your heating bills substantially?
At the VELUX Group, we never stop working to improve our products. Our windows today, for example, are installed 27 mm deeper in the roof surface than they were in 1998. This means better in sulation, a better U-value and greater comfort.
