An Introduction to Dakea
As part of the VELUX group, we’ve been manufacturing and supplying top-quality roof windows for over 80 years. Our professional brand Dakea prides itself on delivering high-quality, affordable roof windows that create stunning, quiet, energy-efficient, and safe rooms that are havens of natural daylight. Our products are manufactured to the highest standards and backed by a 20-year guarantee, giving our partners in the professional market peace of mind. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to building long-lasting working partnerships with professional homebuilders, roof window installers, and merchants alike.
Why Choose Dakea?
Quality Control
With more than eight decades of experience in roof window manufacturing, our group have achieved the highest manufacturing standards possible. Our production processes are rigorously controlled to ensure the outcome meets our exacting standards.
Only top-grade materials are used in the manufacturing process to meet the highest production standards. The wood is carefully selected and sourced from renewable forests – FSC certified Nordic Pine is the main element of all wooden roof windows in the Dakea range. This rigorous production process is designed to increase the pine’s quality through humidity-controlled storage, lamination, eco-friendly water-based varnish application, and more.
Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of our windows. Our Ultima Energy roof window, for instance, has been tested with a 50 kg impactor to ensure it can withstand extreme weather conditions. We’ve also tested our windows against 144 km/h speed winds and 600 litres of rainwater to guarantee their durability and water-tightness.
Competitive Pricing
At Dakea, we believe that quality should be accessible. Our cost-efficiency comes from our streamlined production process and supply chain, without compromising on quality. We’re proud to exceed expectations by delivering exceptional value, with prices typically 20% lower than rival companies.
But our commitment to value goes beyond just competitive pricing. We’re part of the VELUX reward programme, which means you can claim rewards on every Dakea product you buy. Whether you’re using only Dakea roof windows or a combination of Dakea and VELUX, you can accumulate rewards and spend them together, getting bigger and better benefits with Dakea.
Professional Support Services
We understand that our success is intertwined with the success of our partners. That’s why we offer comprehensive support services to professional homebuilders, roof window installers, and merchants. Our support includes training sessions, marketing initiatives, roof window installation support, and efficient logistics services.
We regularly organise trade days, local events, and training sessions to ensure your staff are up to speed with our range. For merchants, we provide POS materials, online training resources, and various digital support packages. When you choose Dakea, you’re choosing a partner dedicated to making quality accessible while supporting your business growth every step of the way.
Sustainable Practices
At Dakea, sustainability is at the heart of our operations. We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable built environment. By 2030, we aim to achieve:
- 100% reduction in emissions from our own operations
- 50% reduction in CO2e from our value chain
- Zero plastic and 100% recyclable packaging for all product groups
- Use of sustainably sourced merchandise and responsibly sourced paper and raw materials in marketing materials
We’re proud to say that our shift to new packaging removes approximately 9 tonnes of plastic and over 2 tonnes of aluminium from our supply chain annually.
Moreover, we’re committed to using sustainably sourced materials in our products. Our wooden window frames are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, ensuring that the wood comes from responsibly managed forests. This commitment to sustainable sourcing extends throughout our supply chain, reflecting our dedication to environmental stewardship.
