Installers, builders and homeowners across the UK and Ireland are being offered an extra boost this Spring, courtesy of roof window manufacturer VELUX®.

Launched in 2015, VELUX Rewards allow customers to earn rewards all year round every time they buy a VELUX roof window, flat roof window, sun tunnel or selected combination flashings.

Customers can normally claim between £5-£30 rewards per VELUX white painted roof window, but this April and May, VELUX is giving away a big rewards boost by offering £40 rewards for every white painted roof window purchased in April and May.

Rewards can be redeemed at a range of retailers and restaurants including M&S, Argos, Curry’s PC World, Pizza Express and Tesco.

The promotional £40 boost to the scheme is available on VELUX white painted roof windows purchased from the 1st April to the 31st of May with the 14th of June being the last day customers can submit a claim.

Speaking on VELUX Rewards, customer Ben Powell, said: “Since the scheme was first set up, I have earnt well over a thousand pounds worth of rewards. I claim on as many of the VELUX products as possible, using them in shops like John Lewis and M&S. In December, I was able to cash in over £500 of rewards, which I used to pay for my entire Christmas!

“You can submit your claims all year round, not just during the promotion periods, which means the savings really can add up.”

Richard McArthur, marketing manager from VELUX said: “As Spring is a busy time for installers, we are giving the reward scheme a boost to help our customers get the most out of their renovation projects. Whether it’s eating out, going to gigs, buying the latest tech, or furnishing the home, there are a range of rewards to suit most lifestyle needs and requirements.”

Damp and dark homes across the UK are having a direct impact on the levels of serious health conditions being reported, according to a new report by leading roof window manufacturer VELUX®.

This VELUX Healthy Homes Barometer highlights a clear correlation between poor housing stock and ill-health in all countries across Europe. UK residents living in dark homes are revealed to be 27% more likely to report poor health conditions including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In addition, people living in unhealthy buildings in the UK with damp are 34% more likely to be suffering from health conditions.

Across Europe, one in six households are currently living in an “unhealthy” (meaning damp or mouldy) building, increasing their chances of illness by 66%.

Developed in collaboration with Ecofys, a Navigant company, Fraunhofer IBP, and Copenhagen Economics, the VELUX Healthy Homes Barometer examines the effects of housing on the health of people living in countries across Europe, along with the associated costs to society and ways to tackle the problem.

On the back of the findings, VELUX is calling for buildings to become more energy efficient and for the UK’s housing stock to be brought up to par.

Grant Sneddon, Product Manager at VELUX-GBI said “We know instinctively that living in unhealthy surroundings is bad for our health. This study reveals to just what extent those in the UK and Europe are suffering on account of their homes; and also the staggering financial costs to society of not bringing our aging housing stock up to par.”

Europeans living in an “unhealthy” building are more than 1.5 times (66%) more likely to report poor health, and 40% more likely to suffer from asthma, as those who do not.

Meanwhile, Europeans who suffer energy poverty – meaning they are unable to keep their homes comfortably warm in winter – are twice as likely to report poor health and nearly three times more likely to report damp in the home.

The costs of unhealthy buildings are not just felt by individuals either. The overall (direct and indirect) costs to European governments and societies of just two of the many diseases associated with damp living environments – asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – reach a staggering EUR 82 billion per year.

One solution is to modernise Europe’s existing buildings through energy efficient and healthy renovations. This would not only lead to improved health outcomes, lower societal costs and reduced CO2 emissions, but would also provide a much-needed catalyst to European economies. The Healthy Homes Barometer 2017 goes on to examine the level of private capital available for renovation in EU member states – EUR 30 trillion – and what would be required to help unlock some of that total to invest in renovation.

For the first time, using data from the European Commission’s vast Eurostat Database, the analysis provides new evidence on the relationship between housing and health.
