VELUX FS M08 Fixed Skylight 780x1400mm for Pitched Roofs

The VELUX FS M08 is a fixed skylight designed for Australian tiled and corrugated roofing. At 780 x 1400mm it is a tall fixed roof window that floods stairwells, double-height spaces and grand living areas with natural daylight. The fixed sash gives it a slimmer frame and a larger glazed area than an opening model, so it delivers generous light at a more affordable price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size opening does the FS M08 need?

The FS M08 is a 780 x 1400mm skylight, which matches the rough opening for a VELUX M08 unit. The flashing kit is selected to match both the skylight model and your roof material, so confirm the profile with the supplier before ordering.

Can I add blinds to a fixed skylight?

Yes. The fixed skylight is compatible with VELUX solar remote blinds, which are powered by the sun and controlled with a hand-held remote, so there is no wiring in the ceiling. That lets you filter light and reduce heat gain without touching the skylight.

Does a fixed skylight need a flashing kit?

Yes. A flashing kit is required to make the skylight weathertight against the roof, and it is sold separately. The right kit depends on the skylight model and whether your roof is tiled, corrugated metal, TrimDeck or Kliplok.

How much heat does the glazing block?

The double-glazed unit blocks approximately 75% of solar heat, which helps keep the room cooler in summer. The NEAT self-cleaning coating also helps rain wash dirt off the glass so the skylight stays clear with less maintenance.
