The new electric skylight completes the VELUX portfolio for flat roofs

This latest innovation from VELUX expands the generation of designer skylights while filling a significant gap in the market. The new electric roof hatch for flat roofs VELUX CXU is expected to find its place in both residential and commercial projects.

When it comes to flat roof options, architects and designers constantly balance aesthetics, functionality, and safety. The latest electric roof hatch for flat roofs VELUX CXU has been designed with these priorities in mind and offers a multifunctional solution that combines elegant design with practical performance. It allows craftsmen safe and comfortable access to the roof with an opening angle of up to 60° for maintenance and repairs, while for the end user, it serves as a solution for everyday ventilation and the influx of daylight, ensuring maximum comfort and a healthier indoor environment.

The electric roof hatch is available with flat and rounded glazing – the flat version is designed for roofs with a slope of 2 to 15°, and the rounded version for slopes from 0 to 15°. The glazing can be double or triple layered, and three sizes of hatches are available, up to a generous dimension of 150 × 100 cm.

Complete solution including safety and ventilation kit

Each hatch is delivered as a complete solution, including a safety kit that prevents getting stuck on the roof and falling, as well as a ventilation kit. The delivery also includes a control and power unit, and for greater peace of mind, each model is standardly equipped with a VELUX rain sensor, ensuring automatic closure in case of sudden weather changes. Integrated control options will enhance indoor comfort and allow customers easy circulation of fresh air. For safety reasons, access to the roof is possible only after switching to service mode using an internal switch and key, while the outdoor switch and key ensure safety when moving on the roof. Therefore, the electric roof hatch does not serve as regular access to the roof for residents but is a solution for professionals performing expert work on the roof.

Complete VELUX portfolio for flat roofs

The electric roof hatch completes the VELUX portfolio for flat roofs, providing designers and contractors with a multifunctional product – without compromises in design or performance. Easy access to the roof is essential for extensive residential and commercial projects. The electric hatch for flat roofs VELUX CXU not only meets this requirement in three sizes (100 × 100 cm, 120 × 120 cm, 150 × 100 cm) but also elevates it to a higher level thanks to the combination of safety and comfort with the user benefits of natural light and fresh air.

The new electric roof hatch is based on the latest generation of VELUX designer skylights, fully compatible with VELUX outdoor blinds, interior shading, and insect nets, providing designers and end users with maximum flexibility in functionality and aesthetics.

With its sleek and modern appearance, the VELUX CXU electric roof hatches beautifully integrate into contemporary architecture without compromising safety and practicality. All models will be part of the BIM tools library, significantly simplifying design.
