Why you may want to replace your roof windows:
Age is usually the most common reason people look into replacing their roof windows. VELUX and Keylite windows are designed to last up to 20 years on average but we commonly come across windows that double that life span in age.
Appearance
Your window over time can depreciate and look tired in appearance, especially if it is pine. Regular maintenance like annual servicing, sanding down and repainting can keep the window in check for so long.
Damaged
Roof window will get to a stage where the operation isn’t as it should be, this can happen naturally or because parts have become worn and stiff overtime.
Depending on the extent of damage, it may be more cost effective to replace the roof light rather than replace iit.
Whats available in 2025?
