Individual roof windows
Any space deserves a VELUX roof window solution – whether big or small. Our individual roof windows provide an ideal solution for all room types, adding natural light and fresh air. Discover how you can transform your compact space, as well as many areas of your home, with our high-quality individual roof windows.
Key benefits of VELUX individual roof windows
Perfect for small rooms VELUX individual roof windows are ideal for compact spaces, offering a large variety of size configurations to suit your unique small room overhaul. A classic window will add daylight to the room, making your space feel brighter and more open. For the best effect, our general recommendation is to opt for a roof window size that covers 15-20% of the available floorspace.
Convenient remote operation options Our individual roof windows come with three different operation options: manual, solar, or electric. Solar and electric operated roof windows let you remotely control your roof windows with a wireless wall switch, or via your smartphone with VELUX App Control.
Enhance natural ventilation VELUX roof windows allow fresh air to circulate effortlessly. With easy-to-use opening options, they refresh the air in the room, keeping the space feeling pleasant. Our individual roof windows also feature a ventilation flap, letting in fresh air, even when the window is closed.
Enjoy great indoor comfort VELUX individual roof windows are designed for great indoor comfort. With double-glazing as standard, the energy-efficient glazing eases rain sounds, limits UV exposure, and maintains a steady indoor temperature. Combine with our blinds or shutters for increased light and temperature control.
Increase access to natural daylight Bring more daylight into every corner of your home. Even a single VELUX roof window can flood a room with natural light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and boosting your general mood and energy.
Built-in rain sensor Our solar and electric roof windows include a rain sensor as standard, which automatically closes the roof window when sensing incoming rain – so you can rest easy without worrying about sudden changes in weather.
Easy-to-maintain finishes VELUX individual roof windows are designed to stay looking great with minimal effort. The white maintenance-free internal finish is smooth, waterproof, and built to last, making it perfect for humid spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.

Classic roof window
Our classic roof window suits almost any pitched roof, making your space feel brighter, bigger, and more comfortable. It’s especially well-suited for small spaces, bathrooms, and staircases. Choose between a variety of materials, glazing options, and operating styles, allowing you to tailor the roof window to your preferences.
Low pitch roof window
Our low pitch roof window is designed for roofs with a shallow pitch between 10°-20°, commonly found in single-storey extensions. They bring in twice as much daylight as a vertical window, transforming even the lowest-pitched rooms into bright, welcoming spaces.
How to elevate different spaces with our individual roof window solutions
VELUX individual roof windows give you plenty of opportunities to transform your different small spaces at home. Here are some ways you can use individual roof windows in various compact rooms with great effect:
Hallways and staircases
Even narrow staircases and hallways benefit from the touch of a single roof window. Strategically positioned, it draws daylight into areas that are often dark, creating a sense of openness and enhancing safety.
Bathrooms
Even a compact bathroom can feel inviting with the right roof window. A single VELUX roof window fills the room with daylight, instantly lifting the atmosphere while maintaining privacy. Beyond light, it provides a simple way to bring in fresh air, reducing humidity, and keeping the space feeling crisp. Choose a white maintenance-free finish to keep the internal frame well-protected against humidity.
Spare bedrooms/extra guest rooms
If you’re renovating a small spare bedroom or converting a small unused space into an extra guest room for when you have your family or friends staying overnight, installing a roof window can have a significant impact. It delivers both ventilation and natural daylight that opens up the space and makes it feel more welcoming.

Exact dimensions start at around 55–60 cm in width, making them perfect for smaller rooms without compromising on light or air.

Can I combine single roof windows for larger daylight coverage?
It is, of course, possible to install multiple roof windows in the same area to enjoy larger daylight coverage. If you want a larger, more unified roof window solution that maximises daylight coverage in a single area, we recommend our side-by-side or 3in1 roof windows.

Do you need planning permission for installing an individual VELUX roof window?
Some roof window installations are classed as Permitted Development, however it’s best to check on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, you can install VELUX roof windows without planning permission, especially when replacing an existing roof window or in certain loft conversions. Always check your local council rules for Permitted Development to be sure, as regulations can vary depending on building size, location, and roof type.
