The VELUX Group proudly announces: VELUX Modular Skylights, Step Solution is awarded the Red Dot, Product Design 2020 for its high-quality design.

The international Red Dot Jury awarded this sought-after seal of quality to the latest product in the range of VELUX Modular Skylights, the Step Solution. Hereby is VELUX one of the winners in the world’s most renowned design competition.
 

We are of course truly honoured to receive this seal of quality for outstanding product design. Our products provide daylight and fresh air to improve peoples’ quality of life, that is at the core of our brand. With the Red Dot Label, we can raise the awareness about the quality of our products - in this case the VELUX Modular Skylight Step Solution - and associate our brand with good product design,
says David Briggs, CEO, VELUX Group.

Multiple rows of skylight modules connected create a large glass roof

As the product name indicates, the new VELUX Step Solution has a unique step structure where multiple rows of skylight modules can be connected above each other to create a large glass roof. It is characterized by a minimalistic design with a coherent and elegant structure that allows for thin supporting beams.
 

We designed the VELUX Step Solution to offer our customers a solution with maximum daylight for larger glazed areas. We have thereby expanded our product range from modules installed side by side to this unique step structure. Our mounting system connects the modules closer, and the flashings ensure a watertight solution in the elegant VELUX Modular Skylights design,
explains global R&D Director, VELUX Commercial, Erik Kjærgaard.

The new VELUX Step Solution is a technologically advanced product, specifically suited to commercial and public buildings, both new build and refurbishment.
