Designed for deck mounted installations, the VS manual venting skylight enables any home to embrace the best of what nature has to offer. Opening for maximum fresh air, the venting skylight contributes to a home's proper moisture balance and comfort level by allowing stale, humid air to be released.
Green fact
Venting skylights are great for rooms that need natural ventilation (especially kitchens and baths). They are particularly effective for passive cooling, which requires no energy expenditure.
