Why this Pakenham job matters
A skylight over a kitchen can make the space feel more open during the day, especially where the kitchen sits between living zones or where side windows are limited. For this Pakenham home, the single larger fixed skylight brings daylight into a high-use part of the home without needing an opening skylight.
The finished result also shows why product selection and flashing choice matter. A VELUX FS fixed skylight is designed for pitched roof applications, while the EDW flashing is suited to tiled roof installations when selected correctly for the roof and skylight model.
