Velux launches its latest flat roof glass window model, expanding daylighting options for UK roofing contractors, extension builders, and householders.
Velux has introduced a new flat roof glass window, marking the final addition to its current flat roof daylighting portfolio. The new model is engineered to integrate cleanly into contemporary flat roof extensions, offering enhanced thermal performance, high sound insulation, and maximum natural light transmission for residential properties.
Designed for flat roofs with pitches between 0 and 15 degrees, the unit features structural glass construction with slim frame profiles. This ensures clean exterior aesthetics while maintaining compliance with current UK building regulations regarding energy efficiency and thermal insulation standards for domestic refurbishments and new builds.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? For roofing contractors, joiners, and general builders, the completed Velux lineup provides a broader choice of specified dimensions and opening mechanisms when pricing extension projects. Having a complete range from a primary manufacturer allows installers to standardise on kerb flashing kits and structural opening sizes, reducing time spent sourcing third-party rooflights. While premium glass flat-roof units cost significantly more than traditional polycarbonate domes, specifying a single recognized brand ensures full compliance with Part L insulation values, minimizing the risk of sign-off delays with building control.
The expanded flat roof range is available through national timber and roofing merchants, including Travis Perkins and specialist distributors. Installers should confirm deck structural trimming specifications and pitch requirements prior to ordering to ensure seamless compatibility with selected waterproofing membranes.
