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.

Complement Your Skylight Upgrade
Maximize your home's transformation by coordinating your new skylights with other energy-efficient upgrades. Consider adding outdoor patio furniture to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, or install outdoor lighting to extend usability into the evening. For the room below your skylight, area rugs can help with acoustics and insulation, while wall decor adds personality.
If you're renovating a kitchen or dining area under a new skylight, explore kitchen islands and carts or dining tables to complete the space. For bedrooms, beds and mattresses from GrandGoldman can enhance comfort. And don't forget bathroom vanities for a full-home refresh.
