2. Add blinds and shutters that match your style

VELUX blinds and shutters add a new dimension of comfort to your roof window and can easily be installed by you or by the installer.

Whether you need a blackout blind for a good night’s sleep, an awning blind to block the sun’s rays or a roller shutter to completely protect your home from the outside elements you can find them in numerous colours and variants online or at your local VELUX dealer.

4. Get in touch with a certified VELUX installer

The last step is finding a local certified VELUX installer. Your installer will remove the current roof window, install the new one, and refinish the interior of your home (if needed) for a beautiful, seamless installation.

Installation takes from just four hours and at prices starting from €682. Also, your new roof window can easily be installed from within your home, eliminating the need for scaffolding or lifts. ​

Replacing a single roof window with multiple roof windows adds only a few hours to the installation but can be completed in one day (depending on number of additional roof windows to be installed).
