Energy Savings with VELUX blinds and roller shutters Installing VELUX blinds and roller shutters to your roof window is an easy way of reducing heat loss and thus lowering your heating bill. And in addition you get all the well-known benefits of a blind or a roller shutter that matches your window perfectly and is so easy to install.

With a lowered blind or roller shutter you create an air buffer between pane and curtain that provides additional insulation. The reduction of heat loss obtained depends on pane type as well as on the type of blind or roller shutter fitted to the window. With roller shutters, blackout blinds and double pleated blinds you obtain the best possible reduction of heat loss when fitted to a roof window with a standard 00-pane – then the reduction is up to 30%.

Velux Blinds: A brief history.

In 1941 Villum Kann Rasmussen, aware of a national shortage of living space in his homeland of Denmark, realised there was an opportunity for developing attic space into cheap living accommodation and he developed a roof window to let in natural daylight, and VELUX was born. However, the first Velux roof window ever made was installed in a Danish school.

The Velux name is derived from the words Ventilation and Lux, the latter word being Latin for light.
