Velux VSE C08 Electric Opening Skylight 550x1400mm

The VELUX VSE C08 is an electric opening skylight for pitched roofs, sized 550 by 1400mm. The tall profile makes it a good match for hallways, stairwells and elongated living spaces, where a narrow band of daylight runs down the room. The motorised sash opens, closes and vents from an included wall-mounted remote keypad, which suits rooms where the window sits well above arm’s reach.

What You Need To Complete Your Skylight Installation

To finish the installation you need the matching flashing and, for light control, a blind. Add the VELUX C08 custom flashing for a weathertight seal, and pair the window with a VELUX skylight blind for blackout or filtered light. Browse the full electric skylight range, or see all VELUX skylights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this electric skylight need an electrician?

The VSE range is electric, so the window motor needs a power connection as part of installation. We recommend a licensed installer set the window up to the manufacturer instructions. Once installed, the included wall-mounted remote keypad controls open, close and vent, and the rain sensor handles wet weather automatically.

What size is this skylight?

The VSE C08 has an opening size of 550 by 1400mm, a tall format designed for hallways, stairwells and elongated spaces. The narrow, tall opening casts daylight down a wall or stairwell and fits roof spaces where a wider skylight would not suit the pitch or layout.

Does it close automatically when it rains?

Yes. The VSE C08 has an integrated rain sensor that closes the skylight automatically when precipitation is detected. That means you can leave the window venting and not worry about a sudden shower, because the window will close itself and keep the room dry.

Can it be connected to a smart home system?

The VSE range can integrate with VELUX ACTIVE climate control systems for automated temperature and air quality management around the home. That lets the window respond to conditions automatically rather than waiting for you to press the remote.
