Velux windows have become increasingly popular in residential properties, particularly with the rise in loft conversions, dormer extensions, and home renovations. They are designed to bring natural light into roof spaces, improve ventilation, and make upper floors more practical and comfortable. When installed and maintained correctly, Velux windows are known for their durability and long lifespan.
At LN Glazing, we specialise in Velux window installation and repair, offering homeowners a complete service that includes new installations, glass replacements, repairs, and safety glass upgrades. Our experience with Velux products allows us to extend the life of existing windows while ensuring safety, performance, and energy efficiency.
Why Velux Windows Are a Popular Choice
Velux windows are specifically designed for roof applications and are commonly installed in lofts, extensions, staircases, and rooms where wall windows are not suitable. They provide excellent levels of daylight, improve airflow, and can transform dark spaces into bright, usable rooms.
Another reason Velux windows are so popular is their build quality. The frames and mechanisms are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and regular use. With proper servicing and maintenance, a Velux window can last for many years without needing full replacement.
Velux Window Installation by LN Glazing
LN Glazing installs a wide range of Velux windows to suit different roof types and property layouts. Our installation service covers everything from measuring and sourcing the correct window to fitting and finishing it to manufacturer standards.
Correct installation is essential for long term performance. A poorly fitted Velux window can lead to leaks, draughts, or heat loss. Our experienced team ensures that every window is fitted securely, sealed correctly, and positioned to maximise natural light and ventilation.
We can also supply Velux windows directly, giving homeowners access to the full range of sizes, glazing options, and opening styles available.
Velux Window Repair and Glass Replacement
Velux windows are extremely well built, which means many issues can be resolved without replacing the entire unit. In fact, around ninety percent of Velux window call outs we attend only require a Velux glass replacement rather than a full window replacement.
The most common issue we see is condensation forming between the two panes of glass. This indicates that the sealed glass unit has failed. While the frame and mechanism may still be in excellent condition, the glass unit has reached the end of its lifespan.
In these cases, LN Glazing replaces only the glass unit. This restores clarity, insulation, and performance without the cost or disruption of removing the whole window. We also carry out Velux window repairs such as replacing worn seals, adjusting hinges, and resolving operational issues.
Upgrading the Inner Pane of Your Velux Window
Safety is especially important when glazing is installed above head height, such as in loft conversions, extensions, or stairwells. LN Glazing offers safety glass upgrades for Velux windows to provide additional protection and peace of mind.
Laminated glass is the safest option for overhead glazing. It is made from two layers of glass bonded together with a thin interlayer. If the glass is damaged, it will crack but remain held in place, similar to a car windscreen. This prevents broken glass from falling into the room and makes the area safe while waiting for a replacement.
Toughened glass is another safety option. It is significantly stronger than standard glass and, if broken, shatters into small pieces rather than sharp shards. These pieces fall inward and reduce the risk of injury.
Standard glass does not meet modern safety requirements for roof windows. If it breaks, sharp fragments can fall into the room, creating a serious hazard. For this reason, LN Glazing will only carry out Velux glass replacements using safety glass. We do not install standard glass in Velux windows under any circumstances.
