Installation Process

Expert installation made easy.

VELUX® skylight systems and Sun Tunnel® Skylights can be installed in flat or vaulted ceilings in two worry-free phases: rooftop and interior. The pros will recommend where skylight systems should be installed, so you can reap the maximum benefit from the natural light and fresh air they provide.

Installation Types

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will come inside for interior finish work and possible painting. If you have a flat ceiling, your installer will use drywall or other finish material to build a shaft from the skylight to direct the daylight into the room. This phase takes around half a day per skylight.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole and fasten the VELUX skylight to the roof with three layers of protection to prevent leaks. Depending on the circumstances such as roof pitch and weather, the rooftop phase can take between one and three days.
2-3+ Days Total*

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the ceiling to install the lower portion of the reflective tube between the roof and ceiling.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the roof and install the top collar, the upper portion of the reflective tunnel, the lens and the flashing.
2 Hours*

The Room

There may be a small amount of interior drywall work depending on your replacement situation, but the majority of the replacement process will take place on the roof.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will get measurements from your existing skylights to ensure your replacements are a perfect fit, then they’ll replace your skylights

    Highly recommend Chris and Daylight Solutions! This is our second home to have Velux Sun Tunnels. They completely transform any space! We had 13 Sun Tunnels installed and our home is filled with wonderful natural light! From the moment I called Chris until the completion of the project everything went professionally, quickly and without issue. Chris had some great recommendations that we went with and I’m so glad we did! Thank you so much!

    We had a great experience with this company. Chris was very professional and precise in what they could offer for our dark bathroom and kitchen with Sun Tunnels. They installed 2 in a very short amount of time. The price was reasonable for the natural light and joy it has brought into our home. We still go into the rooms and think we need to shut the light off. Lol! Highly recommend this awesome company and Velux offers a 10 year guarantee for no roof leaking. That's impressive. Thanks so much!

    We had two Velux light tunnels installed on 1/5/26. The work was done efficiently. They were careful to cover any furniture/ surfaces with tarps to protect and contain any debris from installation process. We are super pleased with the results and highly recommend Daylight Solutions!
