Why Roof Windows Are a Must-Have for Your Extension

At Condell Ltd, we believe that great extensions go beyond stylish layouts and clever storage – the real magic lies in how you bring light and air into the space. That’s why VELUX roof windows are one of the smartest additions you can make when building a new kitchen, living area or home office extension.

Let More Daylight In

Roof windows can dramatically increase the amount of natural light in an extension. Traditional vertical windows often aren’t enough – especially when the new space extends further into your garden and blocks daylight from reaching the original rooms. VELUX roof windows provide up to twice as much daylight as standard wall windows of the same size, making your extension feel more open, airy and vibrant.

To maximise light, consider installing multiple roof windows side by side or using triple combinations for wide, light-filled spaces. VELUX offers a variety of size and style options to suit every project. A white internal finish helps reflect light back into the room – and their white, maintenance-free finish is ideal for modern extensions thanks to its clean look, moisture resistance and easy upkeep.

Enhance Ventilation and Air Quality

Letting in fresh air is just as important as bringing in light. Roof windows allow warm, stale air to rise and escape, which is especially useful in extensions where cooking or heat can build up. Proper airflow helps prevent condensation, damp, and discomfort.

For added ease, VELUX electric and solar-powered roof windows offer smart ventilation with the touch of a button – even when you’re not home. With VELUX App Control, you can set daily schedules and monitor your windows from your smartphone. Built-in rain sensors ensure they close automatically if the weather turns.

Manage Light and Heat with Smart Solutions

While letting sunlight in is essential, controlling it is just as important for year-round comfort. VELUX blinds and shutters offer stylish solutions to manage brightness and heat, ensuring your extension remains cool in summer and cosy in winter. Many accessories are available in solar or electric versions for added convenience and smart home integration.

Conclusion

At Condell Ltd, we’re here to help you get the most out of your home improvement projects. Adding VELUX roof windows to your extension is a simple yet impactful way to boost light, airflow, and overall comfort. Whether you're building a kitchen-diner, home office or family room, roof windows could be the perfect finishing touch to elevate your design.
