VELUX Venting Skylight Systems
Solar Powered Venting skylights add both natural light and fresh air to any space. The solar panel and rechargeable battery-operated control system are built into the skylight, so no electrical wiring or electrician are needed for installation of these skylights.
The integrated solar powered shade gives you effortless control over that light. The shade also helps block the sun's heat during the summer and retain your home's heat in the winter, which improves your skylight's energy efficiency up to 40%.
Room darkening shade features white double pleated blackout cloth with a honeycomb structure and interior aluminum coating to block even the brightest sunlight.
Wide Variety of Applications
Curb mount skylights can be installed on a flat or sloped roof and with a wide variety of roofing materials. They are great for new skylight installations as well as replacing existing skylights, including old plastic bubble skylights.
