SKYLIGHT

Velux and Keylite skylights for Melbourne roofs

A skylight brings daylight into rooms that a wall window cannot reach, such as hallways, bathrooms and the middle of an open plan room. This range covers two makers, and both have fixed and opening models.

Velux skylights are the larger range. Pitched roofs take the fixed FS, the manual VS, the electric VSE and the solar VSS. Flat roofs take the FCM, VCM and VCS. Each unit is listed by its Velux size code, and our guide on reading Velux skylight sizes explains the codes.

Keylite skylights come as fixed, manual and electric skylights, a hob dome light skylight, and a separate listing for Keylite flashings and accessories.

Where there is no room for a framed skylight, the Tubelite tubular skylight runs daylight down a tube from the roof to a ceiling diffuser. It comes in 300, 400 and 500 mm diameters with kits for corrugated, tiled and metal deck roofs.

Plan the extras with the skylight. Pitched roof Velux skylights need the flashing in the same size code, and Velux solar blinds add light control for the VS, VSE, VSS and FS ranges. To keep the glass clear once it is in, see how to clean a skylight window on your roof.

Skylight FAQs

Which skylight works on a flat roof?

The Velux FCM, VCM and VCS are the flat roof models: fixed, manual opening and solar opening. Pitched roof models are listed separately.

What is a tubular skylight?

A light tube. A collector on the roof sends daylight down a reflective tube to a diffuser in the ceiling, which suits small rooms and hallways.

Do I need a fixed or an opening skylight?

Fixed if you only want light. Opening if the room also needs ventilation, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Opening models are manual, electric or solar.

Can you deliver skylights outside Victoria?

Skylights are delivered within our Victorian service area, or you can collect them from 2/1 Network Drive, Truganina.
