I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on the durability, care, and maintenance of roof windows, specifically Velux.
The care instructions from Velux include, among other things, removing leaves once a year and regularly clearing snow.
How often do you check your roof windows? How long should these windows last? Should you be concerned that they might eventually leak and damage the attic insulation?
The background to my question is that my builder informed me that a townhouse with two full floors costs no more than 5,000€ (about $5,500) more than a 1 1/2-story house with a pitched roof. The roof windows alone have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of around 2,500€ (about $2,750) each. Does anyone have ideas on how to get Velux windows more cheaply?

We are continuing the discussion here because I opened this thread specifically about the attic windows. Yes, the next step would be two full stories. In the end, though, it’s a gut feeling whether you prefer one option or the other.
