When choosing a new VELUX roof window for your home in Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Louth, or Barton-upon-Humber, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the type of glazing. VELUX offers a range of glazing options, each designed to suit different needs — from energy efficiency to noise reduction.
At Lincolnshire Roof Windows, we’re here to help you choose the right glazing for your home, lifestyle and budget. Let’s break it down.
🪟 Why Glazing Matters
The type of glazing you choose affects:
- Insulation & energy efficiency
- Soundproofing
- Safety & security
- UV protection
- Maintenance levels
Choosing the right glazing will ensure your VELUX window performs as well as it looks.

🛡️ Safety Glazing
All VELUX roof windows come with toughened safety glass as standard. Laminated inner panes add extra protection in case of breakage — a must-have for overhead windows.
💡 We recommend safety glazing for all pitched roof installations.
☀️ Anti-Heat / Solar Control Glazing (70Q or 62 pane)
Best for: Sunny rooms or south-facing roofs

- Great for roof windows in extensions or conservatories
💡 Ideal for hot spots in summer-prone homes around Louth or Barton.
