Velux Skylight History

Velux of America is a worldwide company that has been in business since 1941. The story goes that during World War Two the founder of Velux, Mr Villum Kann Rasmussen, was asked to try and find living space for thousands of people that were homeless because their homes had been destroyed by the war. What he found were large roomy attics, virtually hundreds of thousands of square feet of living space readily available. However most were missing light and ventilation, and so the modern skylight (roof window) was invented out of necessity. Skylight Specialists is proud to be a Velux Certified Warranty Technicians in the Denver Metro and front range area of Colorado. We have been working with their excellent product since 1979.
