65% Tax Deduction for Velux Skylights: A Complete Guide 2026

Replacing old roof windows with new energy-efficient models allows you to benefit from a 65% tax deduction on both the window price and installation labor costs until December 31, 2014. This Italian tax incentive (Detrazione fiscale 65%) makes upgrading your home's skylights a smart financial move—but the benefits go far beyond tax savings.

When you choose a Velux Integra window, you're investing in superior comfort and cutting-edge technology. These modern, minimalist windows—available in electric or solar-powered versions—feature larger glazing areas for more natural light and Velux's exclusive Thermo Technology™, which integrates insulating materials and thermo-treated wood into the window frame. This combination maximizes energy efficiency while maintaining sleek design.

The touch-screen control pad lets you operate windows, indoor blinds, outdoor awnings, and shutters remotely. You can program up to eight preset functions, including a vacation mode that simulates occupancy. With one tap, close all windows before leaving; return to a perfectly ventilated and tempered home. Rain sensors automatically close windows when needed, and a special kit can convert manual windows to electric or solar without any masonry work. Models are available in wood (GGL) or wood with white polyurethane coating (GGU).

Whether you're planning a full home improvement project or a targeted upgrade, these skylights enhance your living space. Pair them with quality lighting fixtures to complement the natural light, or install energy-efficient curtains to optimize insulation.

• Easy conversion: Upgrade existing manual windows to electric or solar without structural changes.
