VELUX Skylights: Daylight Planned with the Roof

Re-roofing is the right time to evaluate an existing skylight or plan a new source of daylight. The product, roof pitch, flashing system, opening and interior shaft all need to work together before the new roof goes on.

 

We review fixed and venting VELUX options alongside the roof layout, room below and weather exposure. Proper flashing and integration with the roofing system matter as much as the skylight itself; coordinating the work avoids disturbing a newly finished roof later.

 

Compare the complete scope. Confirm the skylight model, glass, operation, blinds or controls, framing changes, interior finishing, flashing and warranty details in writing. A clear plan protects both the roof and the room beneath it.
