Four Things to Check Before Buying a VELUX Skylight

1

Daylight or ventilation?

If you only need natural light, a fixed skylight is usually the simplest choice. If fresh air matters, compare manual, electric and solar-opening models.

2

What type of roof?

Pitched tile, corrugated metal, Trimdek, Klip-Lok and flat or low-pitch roofs can require different skylight and flashing arrangements.

3

Which model and size?

Match the model to the room, ventilation requirement, roof space, framing, desired daylight and the amount of ceiling area available.

4

Which flashing and accessories?

The skylight is only part of the system. Confirm the flashing, blind, controls and any required roof-specific installation components.

VELUX MODEL COMPARISON

Which VELUX Skylight Should You Choose?

The model code tells you much more than the size. Start with how the skylight needs to operate, then match it to the roof and room.

VELUX Range Operation Best For Typical Application Shop
FS Fixed Maximum daylight where ventilation is not required Pitched roofs View FS
VS Manual opening Daylight plus manually controlled fresh air Pitched roofs View VS
VSE Electric opening Remote ventilation with mains-powered operation and rain sensor Pitched roofs View VSE
VSS Solar opening Remote ventilation without a mains power connection to the skylight Pitched roofs View VSS
FCM / VCM / VCS Fixed / manual / solar Daylight or ventilation on flat and low-pitch roof applications Flat and low-pitch roofs View Flat Roof
GGL / GPL Opening roof windows Attics, lofts and rooms where the roof window is designed to be in reach Pitched roofs / sloped ceilings View Roof Windows
TWR / TWF Sun Tunnel Hallways, robes, bathrooms, laundries, pantries and smaller dark spaces Selected roof applications View Sun Tunnels

Model suitability also depends on roof pitch, roof profile, installation method and current VELUX technical requirements. Ask us if you are unsure.

THE PART BUYERS OFTEN MISS

The Skylight Is Only Half the Decision — Flashing Matters

Correct flashing is critical to how the skylight integrates with the roof and sheds water. The right flashing depends on more than the VELUX size code.

VELUX model and size
Roof pitch
Roof material
Roof profile
Skylight orientation
Kerb or upstand detail
IMPORTANT FOR METAL ROOFS

Corrugated is not the same as Trimdek or Klip-Lok

Standard VELUX flashing systems can suit many tile and conventional corrugated roof applications, but they are not a universal solution for every metal roof profile.

In particular, standard VELUX EDW flashing is not intended for wide-span metal profiles such as Trimdek and Klip-Lok.

Central Skylights manufactures made-to-order Colorbond custom flashing for many VELUX applications, giving roofers, builders and renovators another option when the standard flashing kit is not appropriate.

VELUX blinds can provide additional light control, privacy and comfort. Honeycomb room-darkening and translucent light-filtering options are available for compatible skylights and roof windows.

Honeycomb Blinds

Designed for strong light reduction and additional insulation where room darkening is important.

Translucent Blinds

Softens natural daylight and reduces glare while still allowing filtered daylight into the room.

Check the Product Code

COMMON BUYING QUESTIONS

VELUX Skylights Melbourne FAQs

Where can I buy VELUX skylights in Melbourne?

Central Skylights supplies genuine VELUX skylights, roof windows, Sun Tunnels, blinds, flashings and accessories from our Noble Park showroom and warehouse. You can order online, arrange pickup or ask about Melbourne delivery.

What is the difference between VELUX FS and FCM skylights?

FS is a fixed VELUX skylight intended for pitched-roof applications. FCM is a fixed skylight designed for flat and low-pitch roof applications. The roof construction and flashing arrangement are different, so they should not be treated as interchangeable products.

What is the difference between VS, VSE and VSS?

VS is manually operated. VSE is electrically operated and includes remote control and rain-sensor functionality. VSS is solar powered, remotely operated and also includes a rain sensor. The best option depends on access, ventilation needs, power availability and budget.

Do I need flashing with a VELUX skylight?

A suitable flashing arrangement is an essential part of the roof installation. The correct solution depends on the VELUX model, size, roof pitch, roof material and roof profile. Do not select flashing based on the skylight size alone.

Can I use standard VELUX EDW flashing on Trimdek or Klip-Lok?

Standard EDW flashing is intended for compatible tile and conventional corrugated roof applications and is not intended for wide-span metal profiles such as Trimdek and Klip-Lok. These roofs commonly require a roof-specific custom flashing solution.

Can I install a VELUX blind later?

Many compatible VELUX blinds can be retrofitted after the skylight has been installed. The exact product code, size and age of the skylight should be checked before ordering because blind compatibility can vary.

Can I buy VELUX skylights without using Central Skylights for installation?

Yes. Supply-only is available for homeowners, builders, roofers, renovators and installers. We can also help with matching custom flashing, accessories, pickup and delivery.

Can Central Skylights install the skylight if I need it?

Yes. Professional installation is available for Melbourne projects. Depending on the quoted scope, this can include roof installation, flashing, internal shaft framing and plastering.
