The Biggest Advantages Behind VELUX Neat® Glass

PRODUCT TIPS

If you had to choose between the two option (A and B), which skylight glass would you pick to compliment your design?

I'm sure we already know the answer to that. So you're probably interested in learning exactly what makes Neat® glass so unique and the biggest advantages that come along with it.

 

Let's dive right in.

 

What is VELUX Neat® Glass

Also known as our Standard Safety Glass, Neat® glass is designed to disperse water evenly during a rain shower, preventing dirt from lingering and water spots from forming. And because of that, natural light pours through the window uninterrupted.

 

Compare that to ordinary glass where water beads higher on the pane which causes more water spots that can hinder light dispersement.

 

3 Advantages of Neat® Glass

But what are the advantages of using Neat® glass in your design? The secret lies in the scientifically-engineered concept of glass that is clean, quiet, and safe. Here's what we mean!

 

1. Clean: Have you ever heard of a piece of glass that cleans itself? Probably not! Neat® glass unique formula gives it its remarkable clean qualities.

 

Silicon dioxide gives the glass it's exceptionally smooth feel—so smooth in fact that water will actually "sheet off" and evaporate, leaving water spots a worry of the past.

 

So put it this way to you customers—they can spend less time cleaning their skylights and more time enjoying the view they paid for.

 

Clean Quiet Safe Glass Noise 2. Quiet: Some homeowners assume that with less insulation and more windows, they're going to have an awful time trying to get peace and quiet. But that's not true!

 

Neat® glass reduces unwanted outside noise by as much as 25% than a standard double pane glass. And homeowners will also be pleasantly surprised to learn that it can reduce up to 50% of unwanted noise when compared to a plastic skylight.

 

So if your homeowners are afraid that planes will sound as if they are landing on their house, share this advantage of Neat® glass with them.

 

Clean Quiet Safe Glass Reach3. Safe: We stand by our products and our promise that if you design with VELUX skylights, the only thing to ever pass through them will be light.

 

Our deck- and curb-mounted skylights are designed with three layers of water protection and are backed by a 10-year installation warranty, plus 20 years on glass, 10 years on the product, and 5 years on blinds and controls. What other company can say all that?
