VELUX: Why daylight gives homes a market advantage

VELUX helps housebuilders create standout developments using natural daylight. Gain the daylight insights, visuals, and expert guidance that help you deliver homes buyers love – brighter, healthier, and quicker to sell.

In today’s competitive housing market, creating standout homes is more important than ever. One proven advantage? Natural daylight.

Homes with roof windows sell 61% faster and often at higher prices than those without. With VELUX roof window solutions, housebuilders can maximise natural light to boost design appeal, improve energy efficiency, and increase buyer confidence.

With precise daylight calculations and compelling architectural visuals, housebuilders can design homes that not only meet regulations but also captivate buyers with their beauty, functionality, and comfort.

Why does daylight matter? Research shows that 86% of homeowners want more natural light. Rooms with a daylight factor over 5% feel bright and uplifting, while those under 2% often need artificial lighting even during the day.

By partnering with VELUX, you gain:
  • Daylight calculations that guide key decisions, reduce artificial lighting needs, support energy efficiency, and support with regulatory compliance – insights that also help build trust with eco-conscious buyers.
  • Architectural visualisations like photorealistic CGIs and 3D renders that bring your projects to life for planning approvals, marketing, and stakeholder engagement.
Whether you’re designing a small residential build or a large development, VELUX offers tools and expertise to help you:
  • Optimise spaces with data-backed daylight design.
  • Enhance sustainability by lowering energy use.
  • Provide buyer reassurance with verified performance data.
  • Present stunning, realistic visuals that showcase the full potential of your designs.
