Commercial partnership
In today’s competitive housing market, creating homes that stand out is more important than ever. And there’s one feature that’s proven to give new builds a significant advantage: natural daylight. In fact, homes with roof windows sell 61 per cent faster and at higher prices than those without. With VELUX roof window solutions, housebuilders can unlock the full potential of natural light; enhancing design appeal, improving energy efficiency, and increasing buyer confidence.
At VELUX, we work closely with developers to help create healthier, brighter homes that meet modern buyer expectations. Through our Daylight Design Center, we offer free design consultations that include precise daylight calculations and compelling architectural visualisations. These tools are more than just design aids, they’re powerful marketing and planning assets that ensure your homes are not only functional and compliant, but desirable.
Why daylight matters
Research shows that 86 per cent of homeowners prefer more natural daylight in their homes. Spaces with a daylight factor above five per cent feel naturally bright and uplifting, while those below two per cent often require artificial lighting, even during the day. Incorporating daylight performance into your design process can transform interiors, creating spaces that promote well-being, reduce reliance on electric lighting, and support sustainable building practices.
By partnering with VELUX, you gain access to a team that helps you optimise your designs for daylight right from the start. We offer:
- Daylight calculations that inform key decisions, helping reduce artificial lighting needs, support energy efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. These data-backed insights are also a compelling way to build trust with eco-conscious buyers.
- Architectural visualisations that bring your projects to life with photorealistic CGIs and 3D renders. These visuals are ideal for use in planning approvals and marketing materials, making your development easier to envision for buyers and stakeholders alike.
Design support that sets you apart
Whether you’re designing a small residential build or a large-scale development, VELUX provides the tools and expertise to help you create homes that are both visually appealing and high performing. Here’s how our Daylight Design Center supports your project from concept to sale:
