Advantages of Velux Skylights
More Than Just a Hole in the Roof
A properly installed Velux skylight transforms the character of a space, not just its brightness. Homeowners in Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington love adding skylights to their roofs and often call them one of the best investments they’ve ever made in their homes.
Natural Light that Changes a Room
Skylights deliver daylight from above, a fundamentally different quality of light from that provided by windows. Even a single skylight can transform a dark hallway, kitchen, or living room into a welcoming space that feels not just brighter, but larger as well.
Ventilation and Improved Air Quality
Fresh air skylights from Velux open to allow hot air, moisture, and cooking odors to escape via natural convection, ventilating the space below. This is particularly valuable in kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces prone to humidity.
Energy Efficiency
Velux’s Low-E3 skylight glass blocks 95–99% of UV rays while maximizing visible light and minimizing heat gain, both of which help to reduce cooling costs in summer. Solar-powered models operate entirely off grid, drawing no electricity from your home.
Increased Home Value
Skylights consistently rank among the home improvements that add measurable resale value to homes. Natural light is one of the most commonly cited desires among home buyers, and well-installed skylights deliver it in a way that windows cannot.
Weather-Tight Installation
Every Velux skylight installation includes the appropriate flashing kit for your roof type. This helps our crew ensure a fully weather-tight seal. Velux’s 10-year installation warranty covers leaks and hail damage, providing genuine peace of mind.
Smart Control and Automation
All new Velux skylights include pre-installed solar-powered shades. And solar and electric models can be operated remotely, integrated with all smart home systems, and programmed to close automatically when the system detects rain.
Velux Skylight Types
Velux Skylight Options Available from Remedy Roofworks
Velux offers four main skylight types, each designed for a specific set of needs, spaces, and budgets.
Fixed Skylights
Fixed skylights are sealed units that bring natural light into a space without opening for ventilation. They’re the most straightforward and cost-effective skylight option, ideal for rooms where daylight is the primary goal and ventilation is handled by other means.
Common applications include living rooms, hallways, stairwells, home offices, and any space that feels dark or enclosed. Velux fixed skylights include dual-pane, argon-filled Low-E3 glass as standard.

Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylights
Solar fresh air skylights open and close automatically using a solar-powered motor without the need for wiring. They’re the most popular Velux product and a particularly smart choice because they qualify for the 30% federal solar tax credit, making them one of the best value skylights available.
They include built-in rain sensors that automatically close when moisture is detected and can be operated remotely or integrated with a smart home system.

Electric Fresh Air Skylights
Electric fresh air skylights offer the same remote-controlled ventilation and light as solar models, but draw power directly from your home’s electrical system. They’re the right choice when continuous power is preferred, when solar charging may be limited by roof orientation or shade, or when integrating with a whole-home automation system.
Like solar models, they include rain sensors and can be operated remotely or via smart home devices.

Sun Tunnel® Skylights
Sun Tunnels channel natural daylight from the roof through a highly reflective tube to a diffuser in your ceiling, illuminating spaces that a traditional skylight can’t reach. They’re designed to fit in the ceiling like a recessed light and are ideal for interior rooms, hallways, closets, and bathrooms where a full skylight isn’t feasible.
Available in rigid (for clear, straight paths) and flexible (for routing around obstacles) versions, they can generally be installed in an afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions About Velux Skylights
Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners when they’re considering installing a skylight.
Do skylights leak?
A properly installed skylight with the correct flashing kit should not leak. The vast majority of skylight leaks are caused by improper installation, not the product itself. Velux provides specific flashing kits for every roof type, and their 10-year installation warranty covers leaks and hail damage when a professional team installs them properly. We follow Velux’s installation specifications precisely and stand behind our work.
What is the difference between a fixed and a fresh air skylight?
A fixed skylight is a sealed unit, meaning it brings in natural light but does not open. A fresh air skylight opens to provide ventilation in addition to light. Fresh air models are available in solar-powered and electric versions, both with rain sensors that automatically close the skylight when moisture is detected. For kitchens, bathrooms, and any space where ventilation matters, fresh air skylights are the better choice. For spaces where light alone is the goal, fixed skylights are more economical.
What is a sun tunnel, and how is it different from a regular skylight?
A Sun Tunnel channels daylight from a dome on the roof through a highly reflective aluminum tube to a diffuser in your ceiling. It’s similar to a recessed light, but powered entirely by the sun. Unlike a traditional skylight, Sun Tunnels don’t require a clear line of sight from the roof to the room. They’re the right solution for interior rooms, closets, hallways, and bathrooms where a full skylight isn’t structurally feasible. They don’t provide a view or ventilation, but they deliver genuine natural daylight to spaces that would otherwise have none.
How much does it cost to install a skylight in my home?
Skylight installation costs vary based on the product type, the size and pitch of your roof, whether a light shaft needs to be built, and the specific room being served. Fixed skylights are the most affordable starting point; solar and electric fresh air models cost more due to their operating mechanisms. Sun Tunnels are generally the most economical way to add natural light to a space. We provide detailed, itemized estimates for every project before any work begins.
What warranty does Velux offer on their skylights?
Velux backs their products with some of the strongest warranties in the industry: 20 years on glass, 10 years on the product, 5 years on shades and controls, and a 10-year installation warranty that covers leaks, hail damage, and workmanship. The Sun Tunnel® carries a 10-year warranty on installation, materials, and workmanship. Extended warranties are available for complete Velux roof system installations.
