loft conversion - east facing, velux?

HU-408605422

Our terraced house is east facing and trying to decide whether to have two or three velux windows on the front. Would this get too hot? Any advice please?

    Having recently moved into a hotbox with too many west facing windows and doors I would study this subject carefully. You need to look at solar gain as velux bring in a lot more light than a regular window. A pic of the elevation where you are planning the windows would help with advice. East is morning sun. It depends on the purpose of the room.

    Velux offer a variety of internal and external blinds and shutters. Might be worth looking at those so they could be installed with the windows. As Isla says, veluxes bring in a lot of light so can be smaller than a window. Unless you need a less popular window shape, two will be cheaper than three with the same area of glass (slightly taller than wide is the popular shape, I've one of these that was hundreds cheaper than the smaller wide-not-tall one I needed to allow for wardrobes in the eaves below).
