Velux Fixed Skylights — Natural Light with Minimal Maintenance
Velux fixed skylights are designed for homeowners who want to maximize daylight without introducing ventilation. These skylights are ideal for living rooms, stairwells, hallways, kitchens, and other spaces where added natural light improves comfort and visual appeal.
Fixed skylights from Velux feature high-performance glass with Low-E coatings that help regulate indoor temperatures while allowing abundant daylight. The glazing options are engineered to reduce heat loss during winter months and limit solar heat gain during warmer seasons—an important consideration for Connecticut homes.
Because fixed skylights have no moving components, they offer a clean aesthetic and low maintenance requirements. When paired with Velux’s prefabricated flashing systems, fixed skylights provide reliable weather protection and a streamlined roof integration.

Velux Venting Skylights — Daylight with Fresh Air Control
Velux venting skylights add both light and ventilation, making them an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and upper-level living spaces. These skylights can be manually operated or equipped with electric or solar-powered controls, allowing homeowners to improve airflow without sacrificing comfort.
Venting skylights help release warm air that naturally rises, improving indoor air quality and reducing reliance on mechanical ventilation. Many Velux venting models also include integrated rain sensors that automatically close the skylight during wet weather, offering peace of mind and protection.
The combination of daylight and ventilation makes venting skylights a functional upgrade for homes focused on comfort, efficiency, and indoor climate balance.

Velux Solar Skylights — Energy-Efficient Automation
Velux solar skylights are designed for homeowners seeking advanced functionality without complex electrical work. Powered by integrated solar panels, these skylights operate independently of household wiring while delivering full functionality, including remote controls and automatic features.
Solar skylights qualify for energy-efficiency incentives and provide an eco-friendly way to enhance daylight and ventilation. Their battery-powered systems recharge through sunlight, ensuring reliable operation even during overcast conditions.
For Connecticut homeowners interested in sustainable upgrades, Velux solar skylights align well with energy-conscious home
improvements while maintaining roof integrity.

Velux Roof Windows — Ideal for Attics and Loft Spaces
Velux roof windows are designed for “in-reach” applications such as finished attics, loft conversions, and bonus rooms. Unlike traditional skylights, roof windows pivot open, allowing for easy cleaning and increased ventilation.
These products provide expansive views, strong airflow, and excellent daylight distribution. Roof windows are especially effective in spaces where vertical wall windows are limited or unavailable.

Velux Sun Tunnels — Daylight for Small or Enclosed Areas
Velux sun tunnels deliver natural light to areas where traditional skylights may not fit, such as closets, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and hallways. Using highly reflective tubing, sun tunnels channel daylight from the roof into compact interior spaces.
Despite their smaller size, sun tunnels significantly brighten interior areas and reduce the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours. They are a practical, cost-effective daylighting solution for many Connecticut homes.

Velux Flashing & Underlayment Systems — The Key to Leak Protection
One of the defining features of Velux skylights is their integrated flashing and underlayment systems. These components are designed to match specific roof pitches and roofing materials, ensuring water is directed safely away from the skylight.
Proper flashing is critical in preventing leaks, ice dam issues, and long-term roof damage. Velux’s system-based approach removes guesswork and supports consistent installation quality when installed by experienced professionals.
