VELUX Introduces New Flat Roof Skylights in Canada

Increased natural daylight now available to any flat roof building thanks to innovative technology

 – The world’s leading skylight and Sun Tunnel provider has introduced a highly efficient solution that will bring more natural daylight through a flat roof than ever before. VELUX, has developed an energy efficient glass roof window combined with a protective curved cover that sheds precipitation so that the skylight can be installed flat – with no slope required.

The latest innovation from Europe now brings Canadians the chance to transform dim rooms into bright and inviting spaces with a skylight or Sun Tunnel. Now flat roof homes, workplaces and businesses can install a solution that will provide up to two times as much natural daylight as a typical vertical window.   Studies show that the effects of good lighting are responsible for an 8 per cent increase in productivity, 16 per cent improvement in task performance and a 52 per cent reduction of accident rates in the workplace.

 “Whether you are looking to install a flat roof Sun Tunnel, a fixed curb mounted skylight or even a flat roof exit - which provides access to your flat roof and lets natural light and fresh air in - VELUX offers great options to property owners,” says Russell Ibbotson, Building Industry Consultant at VELUX Canada. “The double glazed window with protective polycarbonate cover doesn’t require a sloped surface for installation like a traditional skylight would and has excellent sound insulation from rain and hail.”
