The Velux Heritage conservation rooflight complies with the requirements for historic or listed properties and meets all modern housing standards.

The new Velux Heritage conservation roof window has been designed for historical and heritage buildings and specifically crafted to be in keeping with the aesthetics of traditional buildings.

Co-created with conservation officers and architects, it meets the design requirements for historic and conservation buildings, while offering modern living standards.

Its sleek design, high thermal performance and seamless integration with the roof make it an ideal choice.

The window features a slim, black exterior profile that blends seamlessly into the roofing materials. Its glass-to-edge technology maximises the entry of daylight. 

The roof window resembles an old cast iron skylight and it utilises a hand-winder for natural ventilation, creating a fresh indoor climate and a light-filled space.
