A practical skylight upgrade for a Mornington home
This Mornington skylight installation focused on bringing clean overhead daylight into two everyday living zones: the study and the dining area. Both rooms had sections of ceiling suitable for new timber light shafts, allowing the skylights to sit above the room rather than relying only on side windows.
Central Skylights supplied and installed two VELUX FCM 2246 fixed skylights, each sized at 665 x 1275 mm. The roof work included custom zinc flashing and zinc backflashing to suit the low-pitch corrugated metal roof. The interior work included framing and timber shaft construction up to a 300 mm roof cavity, ready for final finishing.
For homeowners comparing options, this type of project is a good example of when a VELUX FCM fixed skylight is a strong fit: simple operation, generous glass area and a neat result for flat or low-pitch roof applications.

What was included in this job
This was a supply and install project, not just a product delivery. The work involved the roof opening, skylight installation, custom flashing and interior shaft framing. A hallway diffuser replacement was also included as a separate small item on the same job.
- Single-storey VELUX skylight installation.
- Two new skylight openings set out for the study and dining areas.
- Framing and timber shaft work up to a 300 mm roof cavity.
- Standard zinc custom flashing to suit the VELUX skylights.
- Zinc backflashing included for roof water management.
- Replacement of an old 400 mm sun tube diffuser in the hallway.
Why custom flashing mattered on this Mornington roof
The roof photos show a low-pitch corrugated metal roof. On this type of roof, the skylight unit is only one part of the job. The surrounding flashing and backflashing need to be planned with the roof profile and water flow in mind.
For this project, custom zinc flashing was installed around the skylights, with backflashing included as part of the roof detail. This is the kind of practical roof work that separates a proper skylight installation from a simple product drop-in.
