As this year draws to its climactic close-and quite rightly given the turbulence this new decade has brought to our lives. It is time to turn our attention to the winter that lies ahead. The brisk breeze can often see us enter a state of hibernation for days on end.
Fewer hours in the day make it hard to find the momentum to embrace the elements. It is important to expose ourselves to sunlight so we can soak in that all-important vitamin D. Lack of vitamin D can lead to a drop in morale, imperative during these unprecedented times we find ourselves in.
Well, this year we are doing away with the doom and gloom of 2020. We plan to enter the new year full of hope and prosperity, and we would like to help you do the same! Our VELUX skylight installations are the gift that keeps on giving.

So to answer the question, can VELUX skylights be installed in the winter? The answer is yes. Not only is it possible, but it is also hugely beneficial to your home over the winter months.
VELUX Skylights Save You Money
Installing a VELUX skylight can save you money on several of your bills, some you may not have even expected. The first is the cost saved on your lighting bills, not forgetting the price point of the lightbulbs themselves.
You can opt for a VELUX installation that reflects the sunlight into your house. Bathing your rooms with beautifully bright natural lighting, eliminating the need to flick that switch. This is great news for the planet as less artificial lighting will decrease your CO2 emissions, reducing your carbon footprint.
In addition to this, the VELUX widows special glazing option will save you money on your heating bills.
The triple glazing feature filters the heat from the sun and locks it inside your home. This will trap the heat in for longer, keeping you and your family toasty during these cold winter months.
To maximise this, a 5-glaze VELUX skylight has been developed to meet the requirements of Passive House. This window offers the absolute best in thermal performance and is the most energy-efficient VELUX window yet!
VELUX Skylights Eliminate Noise
Velux installations also offer the highest noise cancelling technology on the market. Whichever special glazing option you choose, the VELUX skylight guarantees up to 44db of sound reduction to your home.

The Velux skylight will provide you with all the joys of nature, without it disrupting your lifestyle. No distractions allow you to revel in peace and tranquillity, away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
