Velux Project Daylight
Where There's Light, There's Life
Natural light is fundamental to the quality of our lives and living environments. More than any other element, its many moods and variations can help you make a house a real home. Not only does it create an atmosphere, it can actually alter the way we feel about our living spaces.
Project Daylight
VELUX believes everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of natural light and fresh air. We’ve given this belief a name. Project Daylight. Its aims are simple.
To give people the tools they need to turn their rooms into light-flooded areas for inspirational living. And ultimately, bring light to life.
The Possibilities of Light
Great things can happen when we incorporate light into our room designs.
Think of it in the same way as paint and fabric, for example. You can splash it across a wall, over furniture or cover an entire room in it.
Think of the effect it has on a well-chosen coat of paint or an eye-catching fabric and you begin to see its true potential.
Throughout this brochure we’ll demonstrate the important role light plays in our lives. We’ll give you hints and tips on how to make it work for you. To open up space. And to add real value to your property.
We’ll also offer the kind of inspiration that will help you enhance your home and create a spectacular living environment.

Bring People Together
Like moths to a flame we naturally move towards the light.
Think about your home as it stands at the minute. Ask yourself which rooms you currently use the most. Chances are it’ll be the rooms that let in the most light.
Is it the connection to the outside world or the increased feeling of space that appeals to us? Whatever the reason, the benefits are clear to see.
At VELUX, we understand that lighting can have a dramatic affect on the mood of a room and how you feel towards it. That’s why we’ve developed a variety of products to help you use this natural resource in a number of different ways.
You can add an extension and turn it into a sunroom or convert the loft into a bright and airy bedroom, study or even a master suite. A kitchen with a breakfast table basking in natural light from above, for example, can become a gathering place for the whole family. On the other hand, if the kitchen is poorly lit it can have the opposite effect.
You may also notice that you use different rooms at different times of the day. This depends on which way your house faces and the type of light it receives.
All of these things are worth considering before starting out on your own project. However, once you open yourself up to the possibilities of light you can begin to make it work for you.
More than Light
We see the true potential of light and are constantly looking for new ways in which to use it. However, it’s not just this natural phenomenon that occupies us.
Throughout the years, VELUX have been highly committed to reducing the environmental impact of the manufacture, use and disposal of our products.
That’s why we use wood from sustainable forests and produce an innovative range of glazing with excellent energy saving properties. We also strongly believe that the more natural light we have in our homes, the better for our health and the environment.
