VELUX has a long history of fulfilling consumer desires for natural light and ventilation with skylights and windows, going all the way back to our founding in Denmark back in 1941.
The company beginnings were born out of necessity. After the devastation of WWII, there was a tremendous lack of housing and commercial space throughout Europe. The VELUX founder, Mr. Villum Kann Rasmussen, saw an opportunity to provide more space by bringing natural light and air into attic spaces through the roof. This idea led to the design of the first roof windows, which were initially used to convert unused attics into classrooms.
