The VELUX Skylight Design Tool uses artificial intelligence to render an image of a small primary bathroom idea featuring a skylight. Describing what a venting skylight in the bathroom will look like is one thing. But snap a picture and provide an instant rendering that few homeowners can forget.
The VELUX Skylight Design Tool renders images of any room of a home or building with a skylight installed. Multiple skylight sizes and layout options are available. The image also adjusts for the amount of daylight that will be introduced into the room. This gives homeowners the opportunity to see a skylight in their home and ask any questions about daylighting, glare, or heat gain.
This design tool is easily accessible on any phone or tablet. The process begins by taking a picture and uploading it to the design tool. Renderings are usually generated in a few seconds or minutes. Most images are available to use during the initial visit to a home. The same image can be used over and over again for multiple product or design layouts.
All images processed by the Skylight Design Tool are processed in-memory. They are NOT stored. All images are deleted immediately when a session ends.
Follow these steps to create a rendering of a homeowner’s small primary bathroom idea. Using either a cell phone, tablet, or desktop computer:
Take a picture if needed. Using a phone or tablet, take a picture with a wide shot of the full room. Be sure to include the ceiling area where the skylight would look good. For best results, the room should be well lit.
Go to www.veluxusa.com/skylight-design-tool or follow this Design Tool link. Click on the red rectangle button that says “Begin.” It is located under the third step and above the privacy statement.
Upload an image. There are two options to upload an image. One: drag and drop an image. Two: click on the gray circle with the up arrow to choose a picture from the device being used. The only file formats currently supported are .jpg, .png, and .webp. Then, click the “Next” button.
Draw in the skylights. Use a finger or stylus on a phone or tablet. Or use your mouse on a desktop. Roughly draw a rectangle to indicate a skylight or set of skylights where they would look good on the image. Then, click the “Next” button.
Select Skylight Options. Choose the number of skylights and size of the skylights from the available options. Then choose whether it is a sloped or flat roof. Finally, choose whether any fixtures hanging from the ceiling should stay or not. Once all options are selected, click on the “Generate” button.
Show Homeowner. After a few moments, the tool will render your new image. A slider bar will appear on the left-hand side of the image. Use a finger or cursor to slide the bar back and forth to see the image before and after the skylight is added.
