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.
