Don't confuse Roof Windows with Skylights

Nick is back at Echo Pond with Dave from Velux to clear up a big myth: do skylights always leak, and what is the real difference between a skylight and a roof window. They walk through Velux roof windows that meet egress, show how the SkyMax curb mount skylight changes the second floor space, and break down laminated glass, UV control, and condensation management so the interior finishes stay protected. Outside, they look at how the units tie into NS Builders’ mega shingle facade and go step by step through VELUX’s three layer flashing system with no sealants needed, plus the new factory installed solar shades that boost comfort and energy performance.
