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

    Two years ago Natural Home Lite put in two sky tunnels in my kitchen. First I highly recommend this company and the sky tunnels. They did an excellent job with installation and the light in my kitchen is amazing. It totally changed the feel of the space. Just recently I had a few bugs getting into one of the tunnels and I called the company and they came out quickly. Samy was excellent and went over and beyond taking care of my situation. He even clean my diffuser for me. My second experience with this company was as good as the first. My home has four skylights that will eventually need to be replaced I will definitely use Natural Home Lite.

    Wow!!! That was our reaction after our new skylight was installed today! Samy is THE BEST!!! He was up on the roof working when he texted my husband roof damage caused by a previous leak and a bad repair job. He said he would repair it. Boy did he!!! We are grateful for Samy and his honesty and hard work. He had to remove and replace. Lot of shingles and he knew we had dogs and collected all the nails in his pouch to keep our dogs safe. So appreciate that! We highly recommend Samy!!!

    Samy and his crew installed two Velux lights in our Living room. He was terrific. He cared about the aesthetics as much as the technical installation and walked us through the options thoroughly. He was highly competent, efficient and a good person. I highly recommend Natural Home Lite to anyone considering Velux skylights.
