ABOUT VELUX SKYLIGHTS AND ROOF WINDOWS

Velux can provide the solution to create bright, sunny interiors even if you have a flat ceiling under a sloping roof. The simple construction of a shaft is all that's needed to capture light and bring fresh air into the home.

A skylight shaft is a light well from which the incoming light from the skylight is distributed into the room. If the shaft is 'flared' it is possible to make both the skylight and the shaft appear larger, and it ensures the light is more evenly distributed once it enters the room.

Just imagine how opening the ceiling to the sky will visually expand a room with sunlight from above, cool breezes and the spacious open feeling of being in touch with the outdoors.

MODEL SIZE RANGE

WEATHER PROOFING SYSTEM

Velux flashing systems come completely pre-fabricated and and suit almost all roofing materials. Made from aluminium, they are finished with a special PVCD lacquer to ensure long lasting performance. They are designed to work with the principles of natural drainage rather than depending on the integrity of vulnerable masticks and sealants.

EDH Flashing - For profiled roofing materials such as tile and corrugated iron up to 90mm profile height. The EDH flashing forms a discreet gutter underneath the roofing material which diverts water down the roof.
Note - EDH flashing is not recommended in wide span, high profile metal deck roofing with ridges of 35mm or more. The installer will need to make a custom flashing to suit.

EDL Flashing - For flat roofing materials less then 8mm in thickness, such as slate and shingles. Each layer of the EDL flashing is interwoven with a layer of roofing material.

Combi Flashing - Ready-made solutions are available for coupling banks of skylights - please enquire for more details.
