In the last few decades, the flat roof has become the most common choice in the world when it comes to business buildings, but it is also increasingly popular as a conceptual solution for residential homes of those who follow trends and modern building styles.
The advantage of this type of roof is that the construction itself takes less time compared to pitched roofs, and with less material, the total costs are also lower.
Easy to maintain, they are safe protection from wind and bad weather.
However, it should be borne in mind that the disadvantage of such objects is that often the side light is not enough to illuminate equally all parts of the interior space.
Unlike facade, VELUX skylights for flat roofs can be positioned exactly where light is most needed, so the rooms located in the central part of the main building will receive, in addition to natural lighting, enough clean air.
As in everything else, VELUX offers a number of different options in this product category, depending on the type of building and what you want to achieve.
If necessary, upper and lower elements that are completely waterproof can be combined, and some of the options for roofs with a slope of 0°-15° are windows with: curved or flat glass, manual or electric control, with acrylic dome or without.
The outer side of the window is resistant to scratches, while the three-layer construction ensures energy efficiency, and at the same time perfectly isolates the sound of raindrops or hail.
The amount of light and heat can be regulated by adding thermal or pleated blinds, external awnings with solar power, as well as external mesh.
Simple and additional control of the climate in the room is achieved with VELUX active with Netatmo which, thanks to a system of smart sensors, constantly measures temperature and humidity, and when necessary, opens and closes windows, blinds and awnings.
The best indicator of air quality and climate in a room are plants, so it is particularly challenging to determine the optimal amount of light and ventilation that corresponds to different types of ornamental plants indoors.
Example successful project for this purpose, in which the company VELUX was involved from the stage of planning and elaboration of the conceptual solution to the actual installation of roof windows with CVP domes, was realized in Nikšić.
Ventilation and the ability to automate the sun protection net via remote control now provide the plants with enough protection and fresh air, while the windows are equipped with rain sensors that trigger automatic closing, in case it starts to rain when there are no employees in the area.
If you want to refresh and adapt the existing or arrange a new attic, for free consultations and visits in the territory of Montenegro, you can call VELUX experts, which will help you find the best solution for your space.
