What Is a Velux Roof Light Conversion?

A Velux roof light loft conversion involves fitting specially designed roof windows into the existing slope of your roof. Because the roof structure remains largely unchanged, there’s no need for large-scale construction or external alterations.

The name “Velux” comes from the leading brand of roof windows known for their durability, insulation and sleek design. These windows flood your loft with daylight, instantly transforming dark roof space into a bright, airy room that feels part of your home.
