The upgrade that changes home for good.

If you have old skylights, you know they’re not perfect. The glare on the screens, the rooms that get too warm, the lack of control over the light.

VELUX Skylight Systems change all of that. Every component works together as a single system, giving you greater comfort and control over your indoor environment.

Skylight System Benefits

Benefits you can feel.

VELUX Skylight Systems are designed for real life with light-control shades, weathertight design, and performance you can actually measure on your energy bill.

Energy Efficiency

Designed to help control your home's climate, the pre-installed shade reduces heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, keeping your home comfortable and easing the HVAC strain.

Daylight & Ventilation

Natural light lifts the mood of the room, makes spaces feel larger, and reduces your dependence on artificial lighting. Add fresh air ventilation, and you have a room that breathes.

Weathertight Design & Warranty

VELUX installation creates a weathertight seal around deck- and curb-mounted Skylight Systems and qualifies for our 10-year installation warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

    • When you purchase a new Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylight, Electric Fresh Air Skylight, Manual Fresh Air Skylight, or Fixed Skylight, you also receive a pre-installed, solar-powered, room-darkening white shade. All Fresh Air skylight systems also include a pre-programmed remote control, which allows you to open or close skylights at your convenience or at scheduled times of the day.
    • Most VELUX skylights are sold as a system and come standard with a pre-installed solar-powered shade and remote. Some specialty or commercial products may be sold separately. Be sure to check the product details before purchasing.
    • The skylight system comes with a standard white solar-powered light-filtering shade, but you can purchase a replacement shade separately to upgrade to a room-darkening shade or choose from additional colors and styles. Our Design and Product Advisors can help you select the right option for your space.
    • VELUX insect screens are made of fine mesh in a metal frame that fits in the interior skylight frame. When the skylight is open, the screen prevents bugs from getting inside while still letting in ample natural light and fresh air.
