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 searched the market for the Solar Tubes and found Skylight Solutions and Systems. Bob the representative was very attentive to my interests and fully detailing the process. I compare product, price, reviews, and availability and found SSS and Bob as the best outcome. Now that I have had the work done, I am so happy with the light that is coming into my home. Bob and his technicians were perfect. I have included a picture of how bright the tubes have made my home

    Bob & his install crew were awesome! Had roof replaced by IWC which Bob recommended & a week later my sky tunnel was installed! The installers were very professional. They had the sky tunnel installed, cleaned up the work area within 90 minutes from start to finish! We had the sky tunnel installed in our hallway & lights up the area well.
