VELUX Glazing Conversion Kits: All You Need To Know
VELUX Glazing conversion kits are intended to upgrade older VELUX roof windows with single glazing to double glazing, providing improved insulation and energy efficiency!
Discontinuation
It is good to be aware that The VELUX Group have discontued a range of glazing conversion kits, including many pre-2001 IPL and IGR models. This is due to models prior to 2001 not having the correct standard of glazing thickness, which now stands at 24mm. Many older kits will have a glazing thickness of 15mm.
Benefits
There are many benefits to ensuring your VELUX windows are up to the latest standards in terms of glazing. These include:
Enhanced Insulation
Double glazing provides better insulation against heat loss ad external noise compared to single glazing.
Energy Efficiency
By reducing heat loss through the window, the VELUX replacement glazing kit helps to improve the overall energy efficicency of the building. This in turn, helps you to cut back on your energy bills!
Improved Comfort
Double glazing helps to maintain more consistent indoor temperatures and reduces the likelihood of condensation forming on the interior surface of the window.
UV Protection
The double glazed glass panes may offer some level of UV protection, helping to reduce the fading of interior furnishings and fabrics.
