Home improvement without intrusive renovations

We all want to make our homes better versions of themselves, but sometimes the path to home improvement can feel overwhelming. Adding roof windows to spaces that are dark or in need of better ventilation can be an excellent way to both increase your wellbeing on a daily basis, by improving your home’s indoor climate, and to recoup the investment down the line, by increasing your home’s resale value in more ways than one. We will walk you through all the ways adding roof windows is a smart investment, and a great way to achieve home improvement without costly and intrusive renovations or disruptions to your life.

Roof windows increase your home’s value

Some homeowners are concerned about the time and effort involved in adding roof windows to their home, but the fact is that they can actually save you time when you want to sell it down the line! It has been shown that roof windows greatly enhance the appeal of spaces that were formerly dark and uninviting, transforming a house that may have put buyers off before into a home that everybody wants. Spaces with more natural light and better ventilation are more attractive to potential buyers, and this often results in a quicker turnover time for the sale. That means, you do not have to waste time waiting for a deal to go through when you are ready to take the next step.  

“There is no doubt that roof window solutions are increasing the home value and thus making the home more sellable. Daylight from above is an important parameter for many homeowners. Daylight and fresh air are creating a good and welcoming feeling – especially when buyers see a residential for the first time,” says real estate agent Peder Jakobsen, Home.

The cost of roof windows pays off 

Perhaps even more importantly, it has been shown that adding roof windows to your home can have a quantifiable effect on its sale price! A recent study conducted in Denmark showed that a house with roof windows will cost an average of € 14,495 more than a similar house without roof windows - an increase in price per m2 of € 84.5. That is significant savings and goes to show that investing in roof windows definitely pays off down the line.

Save money on energy costs, too!

Swapping out old leaky windows with roof windows increases the energy efficiency of your home in more ways than one, so you can save money on your energy bills. Firstly, by bringing natural light into dark spaces, they allow you to keep the lights off all day long. They also invite fresh air from outside to do its own version of climate control inside, so you can let trapped heat out and cool breezes in and avoid the constant use of fans and air conditioners in the warmer months. And there is even better news: new generations of VELUX roof windows feature VELUX Thermo Technology©, which creates even better insulation during Winter months, which results in even more energy savings.

A worthwhile investment for you

Not only do roof windows benefit our bank accounts, they also benefit our brains and bodies! All homeowners know that every square-foot of liveable space is a precious commodity: it is essential to make the most of what you have. Roof windows maximise the areas in your home that can be used and enjoyed, creating extra room for hobbies, work, or storage, or transforming an unused room into a home office. They also bring floods of daylight and increased ventilation into your home, so that the quality of every moment in your daily life is improved – it is a sound investment.
