Glazing
If you live in a noisy area, you might want to keep your home quiet and cozy with a sound insulation glazing. If it is stormy or extremely cold outside, you can insulate with a low U-value thermal glazing. And if the sun is shining, you will always feel comfortable beneath our heat protection glazing. Wherever you live. Whatever your needs. Your choice of VELUX roof window glazing can improve your home and your life.
