Easy to open, easy to use, easy to install

Top-operated roof windows

Put fresh air at your fingertips with a top-operated VELUX roof window. A top-operated roof window is easy to operate - even with furniture beneath. The innovative top control bar allows you to install the window lower than an equivalent bottom-operated window to get an excellent view while standing and when seated. 

We recommend top-operated windows if you have to, or wish to, place your window in a low position, for instance: in rooms with a low ceiling or where you’d like a better view of the surroundings below.
