A sense of space, a panoramic view and a comfortable place to live are the benefits of installing roof windows in sets, that is, several roof windows directly next to or above each other. With such a solution, not only will you get better light for your interiors, but also for your health and well-being.
When deciding to install roof windows, it is worth bearing in mind that their number, placement and size will affect the comfort of users in the future. According to regulations, the window area should be a minimum of 10% of the floor area of the room. However, if you want to enjoy more light in the attic, you can install several windows side by side. Then the glazing can reach up to 30-40% of the floor area.

Roof window sets bring many benefits, not only providing beautiful light to the attic, but also providing a great view of the outdoors and contact with the environment.
The most common window set is two windows mounted side by side.
When combining windows into sets, it is worth bearing in mind some rules: horizontally combine windows of the same height - in practice, this is equivalent to the same window size. If the room is high then we can consider installing windows one above the other. However, you need to keep in mind that vertically we combine windows of the same width - but if you want to diversify the interior architecture, the windows can be of different lengths.
Windows of different types and sizes can be combined into sets. For example, you can combine roof windows with different opening methods side by side, such as an electric window with a manual opening window. In the case of VELUX electric windows, the mechanism is integrated into the structure. This is a big advantage, because closed electric windows are no different from those opened manually - they look identical both from the outside and from the inside. This allows you to optimize the cost of the entire set, if necessary.

Another solution is to combine roof windows with vertical windows in knee sets so as to use the knee wall to open up to the space around the building. This is a very popular solution and gives exceptional visual comfort. We then open up to the view below and high above the horizon line.
In addition, knee windows are a great way to ventilate the interior even in very bad weather. Available in tilt and turn versions with wood technology, the VELUX VFE lap window, and a non-opening version with wood-polyurethane technology, the VELUX VIU window.
