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

    I am pleased with my new Velux Sun Tunnel installed by Natural Home Lite. Samy Jr. is very knowledgeable about the product and explains the installation process to make sure you are aware of what the outcome will be. He is very professional and very punctual. Whenever I contacted him with any questions, he was always prompt with a response. That was very important to me. During the installation, he patiently addressed my concerns and appeared to really care about if he had answered everything to my satisfaction. I would have liked an opportunity to preview different diffuser options right after the installation, but at least those options were explained to me. I am glad I went with this company and look forward to enjoying my Sun Tunnel for many years to come. Thanks Samy!

    My kitchen was very dark, and had to have artificial lights on all day, regardless of the weather outside. Natural Home Lite installed 2 tube lights, and the difference is amazing. The gentleman was efficient and professional, and the entire job took only 2 hours. I highly recommend this company, and will be using them again for my next project.
