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

    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.

    Sammy Jr and his crew did a great job installing our skylights. Very professional and on-time and careful going through our house to not make a mess.

    We are very pleased with our new skylights! Samy and Eugene were conscientious and precise in every detail from the ordering, to scheduling and the installation! These two guys did all the work and were so thorough- even in the cleanup! We can't say enough positive things about them! The skylights look amazing and we can't believe the difference they have made in our home. "Let there be light!" Our two cats have found new places to sunbathe on cold winter days here in the mountains, and my plants are happy, too! We look forward to having you back for another project! Thank you from Tennessee!!
