Historically, the attic space was used as cheap housing for the poor with a minimum of comfort. However, today mansard is in trend! This is a great opportunity to expand the living space of the house, and modern technology allows you to make it fully comfortable for life. It is noteworthy that under the roof you can make not just a recreation area, billiard room or nursery, but also embodied the most daring ideas: a chic living room with panoramic windows, a loft or a penthouse – everything is limited only by the wishes or imagination of the homeowner.
Original VELUX developments for the most daring roof dwelling ideas
Today the use of natural light in interior design is one of the key trends, and VELUX offers design solutions for natural light in the attic and creates impressive interior solutions. The simplest but very effective solution is a combination of several skylights, which is perceived as one big window and lets in light and air, visually increasing the space and creating a feeling of space. They can be combined horizontally, vertically and in groups of 4, 6 or 8. You can also combine opening roof windows and blind elements, which will get a real panoramic window from floor to ceiling.
If the attic is a walled attic, panoramic glazing is also possible by using roof windows that are installed in the vertical part of the room – the wall – and supplemented with traditional skylights. To create the effect of an improvised balcony or terrace, it is possible to combine cornice elements with a “Panorama” roof window that opens upwards.
For those who do not want to be satisfied with half measures, VELUX offers its own premium product – the roof window. The window is installed into the roof like a usual roof window and does not disturb the strict geometry of the roof at all when closed. But with a light touch it is transformed: the upper part rises up, creating space above your head, and the bottom comes forward so that you get a real balcony with a folding railing, where you can go out for some fresh air or a cup of coffee.
For true connoisseurs of comfort and luxury VELUX is ready to offer options for creating a terrace, which is certainly more complex and expensive to produce and install, but creates a completely stunning effect. Without leaving your own house you can find yourself in the fresh air, barbecue, sunbathing and have a summer party. A roof deck and VELUX roof terraces provide everything else.
Residential attic – a popular trend that is gaining momentum in America. For everyone who is ready to expand the traditional view of things and familiar horizons of space, to create a truly luxurious interior, the premium glazing solutions for the attic from VELUX is an ideal choice.
