Description

Velux Skylights are intended for use as skylights to provide natural daylight into buildings and controllable ventilation. 

Velux Skylights are double-glazed skylights with wooden frames and an aluminium exterior for use on roofs to provide natural light into interior spaces within buildings.

Velux Skylights come in two ranges - low-pitch models include the FCM, VCM and VCS series, suitable for use on roof pitches between 0° and 60°, and FS, VS, VSE and VSS series which are for use with roof pitches between 15° and 60°. Some models can be openable and can be used to provide ventilation.

Velux Skylights (FS, VS, VSE and VSS series) are manufactured from softwood frames and sashes. The FCM Low-Pitch Skylight has a PVDF lacquered aluminium frame to the perimeter of the insulated glass unit. The VCM and VCS Low-Pitch Skylights have aluminium frames and sashes with white PVC interior frames. All Veulx Skylights are finished on the interior faces with a white semi-gloss paint. Velux Skylights can be identified by their brand markings on both the units themselves and the packaging.
