Whether in a conservation area or a listed building , it pays to extend the life of our traditional and historic buildings through careful and appropriate product design and specification . The new VELUX Heritage conservation roof window allows homeowners to modernise their historic houses whilst respecting the heritage of the building .
The new Heritage conservation roof window has been co-created with conservation officers and architects to ensure that it complies with the design requirements for historic , heritage and conservation buildings , while at the same time meeting the standards of modern living with its high thermal performance glazing . The glazing comes with premium features like safety lamination , an easy-to-clean coating and compatibility with blinds for extra comfort and light control , and seamless integration with the roof .
The slim , black exterior of the roof window sits flush and blends beautifully into the roofing materials , while its glass-to-edge technology lets in as much daylight as possible . The aesthetics of the roof window mimic old cast iron windows and by using the original hand-winder for natural ventilation , the homeowners can enjoy a fresh indoor climate and light feeling to their space .
The Heritage conservation roof window has now launched in nine different sizes to match all types of retrofitting or roofing projects .
Just like all VELUX roof windows , the new Heritage conservation roof window is a high-quality product that has been built to last . It is designed and extensively tested to provide full durability – wherever it ’ s installed , whatever the weather .

With our new Heritage conservation roof window , homeowners can improve their historic homes and preserve the character of the building . The slim profile and flush fitting window are designed to sensitively integrate with original roofing materials , providing the benefits of natural daylight and fresh air inside the home whilst improving the energy performance of the historic building .
