If you need to add some more light to one of your rooms but don’t want to put more pressure on your energy bill, the Velux Top-Hung window may be the right choice for you. They are versatile and easy to use, working with a large selection of roof pitches. On top of that, they suit a variety of interior room choices and create a feeling of lightness and space.
Top-hung refers to the position of the window hinge, in this case at the top of the window. The advantage of this is that it allows for the window to provide unobstructed light and airflow. This is perfect when you’re trying to make the most efficient use of what window space you have. It also helps partially protect from rain ingress even when the roof window is open.
Advantages of Velux Top-Hung Windows for Lofts
If you’re installing windows in your loft a top-hung window is a great choice since it combines that space-efficiency with being easier to open and use. This is especially true if you have a good view from your house since a top-hung window allows for excellent vision without anything getting in the way of your head. Â
The additional light is an obvious boon to any loft, but the airflow may be even more important. A musty loft can be vulnerable to condensation and through that mould and rot. Over time this damage can become very expensive. However, airflow from roof windows can massively improve roof ventilation, especially during humid periods.Â
Velux Top Hung windows are available in a huge variety of sizes meaning you can find the right one for your loft or ceiling. You can also get them in triple-glazed options just in case you need the extra insulation for when the window is closed.
