Easy to open, easy to use, easy to install
Designed for curb and deck mounted installations, the VELUX Electric “Fresh Air” skylight is an ideal daylighting solution for overhead applications. It brings in abundant natural light and with the touch of a button, opens to let fresh air in. And if inclement weather is on the way and you’re not at home, a rain sensor will automatically close the skylight for you.
The No Leak Skylight
The VELUX deck and curb mounted product family is designated as “The No Leak Skylight.” It carries the new 10-year installation warranty plus 20 years on glass, 10 years on product, and 5 years on blinds and controls.
Features include three layers of water protection: advanced LoE3 glass for better energy efficiency, higher visible light transmittance, and improved solar heat gain performance; money-saving pre-finished white frames and sashes; pre-mounted brackets for quick installation of sunscreen blinds; a lower roof profile with an updated curved architectural design; and a neutral gray color to blend in with most roof materials and colors.
With a 30% federal tax credit, homeowners will receive an average of $850* with federal tax credit eligibility, which makes this product very affordable. Because no wiring is required, it’s easy to replace a fixed or manual skylight

Our new blind collection can help turn an ordinary room into something special. With over 100 colors and pattern choices available, you can design your space to reflect your personality.
Controlling your environment
Five out of ten consumers want light control on skylights. One out of ten have it. See how easy it is to control the light by adding a blind to your VELUX skylight.
Drama
Not only does natural light create drama, it actually alters the way we feel about living space in a positive way. VELUX skylights can help dramatize any room in your home
Balance
A perfect example is how carefully positioned skylights can help bring harmony to a home. Positioning skylights above windows opens up the space and reduces glare. The room is now functional, flexible and relaxing.
Privacy
Homes are being built closer to one another and the balance of providing sufficient natural light and privacy has become an issue. That’s why 65% of home buyers request light from above through skylights in their bathroom, a room where privacy and light is of the utmost importance.
Energy efficiency
The addition of blinds can increase the overall energy efficiency of your skylight by 45%. In the summer on high heat/sun days, close the blinds to reduce potential solar heat gain. In the winter, on cold nights, close your blinds to provide an extra layer of thermal insulation to keep warm air indoors.
Types of blinds
Room darkening
This double pleated or flat blind can convert day into night, blocking even the brightest sunlight, which makes it ideal for rooms that require total room darkening, such as bedrooms. The blind can be either manually or solar powered and therefore does not require wiring at installation. Simply snap into place and operate with an included keypad remote.
Light filtering
No longer is direct sunlight an issue. The VELUX light filtering blind softens and diffuses the light that will enter your room. Perfect for rooms where diffused light is desired such as kitchens and living rooms. Offers both protection and good looks.
Venetian
The venetian blinds features make operation simple and convenient, with a control mechanism that allows you to position the blinds at any point on the window. Improved designs give you control over both the amount and direction of light, making it perfect for any room where light control and aesthetics are important.
In-stock factory installed blinds
Ten factory-installed blinds are available to include in the purchase of your skylight.
Special order blinds
Special order blinds are not pre-installed with your skylight order and require a two-week lead time and will ship separately.
