VELUX Skylight System Celebrates Pro Builder Award
VELUX, a renowned leader in skylights and daylight solutions, is thrilled to announce its recent accolade from Pro Builder, which honored the VELUX Skylight System with a prestigious Most Valuable Product Award. This recognition showcases outstanding innovations within residential building products and underscores VELUX's commitment to enhancing living spaces.
A Celebration of Innovation
The Pro Builder MVP Awards, organized by the official publication of the National Association of Home Builders, serve to commend products that effectively address challenges faced by builders, while also meeting the changing expectations of homeowners. A panel of esteemed industry experts evaluates the product winners based on innovation, builder benefit, market relevance, and notable design impact.
Collective Benefits for Homeowners and Builders
According to Stephan Moyon, the president of VELUX America and VELUX Canada, "This award highlights the innovation behind the VELUX Skylight System. We aimed to design a product that effortlessly integrates comfort, energy efficiency, and smart-home features, all while simplifying the installation process for builders." This approach has earned recognition from one of the industry’s most trusted platforms.
Features of the VELUX Skylight System
The VELUX Skylight System is an all-in-one solution designed to meet the needs of both homeowners and builders. It incorporates a solar-powered, pre-installed room-darkening shade that can be controlled remotely. This feature dramatically enhances energy efficiency and provides year-round comfort. When closed, the double-pleated shade can improve thermal performance by up to 46% and significantly reduce solar heat gain by up to 43%. Strategic coordination of shade usage during extreme temperatures leads to further thermal optimization.
Simplified Installation Process
For builders, the design of VELUX Skylight Systems is user-friendly, avoiding complex wiring and eliminating the need for electricians, which minimizes disruptions during workflow. The benefits swiftly become apparent to clients who appreciate the lighter, more inviting environments these skylights create. Homeowners have reported enhanced comfort, greater control over natural light, and energy efficiency improvements.
Additional Benefits and Awards
Moreover, the venting model of the skylight supports passive ventilation, allowing warm air and pollutants to escape naturally, thus enhancing indoor air quality. Features such as smart-home integration and rain sensors add to the convenience of use. Furthermore, VELUX-engineered flashing systems ensure a straightforward, weathertight installation.
This award from Pro Builder follows another recent achievement: the VELUX Skylight System was also honored with the Architecture MasterPrize, receiving the highest accolade, "Best of the Best." This recognition underlines VELUX's commitment to performance, simplicity, and innovation, which has garnered praise from clients, builders, and design professionals alike.
