Attic Ventilation

Attic ventilation fans provide you circulated air in the loft. They blow the indoor air from the attic out and then replace it with fresh air from the outside. The air exchange process not only contributes to the reduction of the heat in the attic but also helps you to reduce moisture up there. It also comes in handy on the hot summer days when your attic gets warmer than the actual temperature outside. These days external awnings and shutters can help a great deal, decreasing the need of air conditioners, and therefore save energy. In the winter, roof venting operates the same way, but with a different goal. When cold air coming from the outside meets warm air inside, moisture can build up. Moisture increases the chances of mold and may cause other nasty issues.

Window Replacement

Speaking of window replacement, there is one choice that you cannot go wrong with. VELUX company with over 80 years of experience. 

The energy balance for roof windows—during the heating season—is generally better than the energy balance for regular windows. Energy balance is an important term to characterize a window; it’s the balance between solar gain and heat loss. Roof windows allow you to save heating on sunny winter days, because the solar radiation through the glass provides your space with free heating.  

VELUX roof windows take care of the thermal insulation, heat gain, and energy efficiency of your attic. Roof windows allow twice as much daylight into the room as a vertical window and three times as much as a dormer window. However, 40% of Europe’s residential houses were built before the 1960s, when there was barely any regulation as far as energy requirements. These buildings need energy efficiency renovations badly.
