Why this exact size?

Broader sky view than the c-series in a compact, near-square roof opening.
Rooms It Can Suit
- Bathrooms
- Hallways
- Small Bedrooms
- Stairwells
- Compact Kitchens
- Studies
- Small Living Zones
Why Choose VS?
- Daylight plus real natural ventilation
- Lower purchase cost than powered VSE/VSS
- No motor, battery or power point required
- Removable insect screen included
- Simple control options for different ceiling heights
Handling: VELUX lists VS M02 at 28.5kg including flashing. Plan lifting and roof access before delivery.
How Will You Open VS M02?
The VS operating hook is included, but the manual control is selected separately. This is an important conversion decision because the finished plaster shaft and ceiling height determine how comfortable the skylight is to use.
ZZZ 201 Winder Handle
Within reach. Replaces the operating hook and gives direct hand winding for a VS skylight that can be comfortably reached.
ZOZ 032 Short Rod
Just out of reach. A 60cm short control rod for situations where the skylight is slightly too high for direct hand operation.
ZCT 300 Telescopic Rod
Higher installations. Adjustable from approximately 145–285cm and attaches to the supplied operating hook.
Frequent high-level operation? If you expect to open the skylight often and the shaft is high, compare VSS M02. Remote operation may be worth the higher upfront cost.
Which Flashing Should You Use With VS M02?
Flashing is sold separately. VELUX offers factory flashing for common pitched-roof materials, while Central Skylights custom Colorbond flashing covers profiles such as TrimDeck and Klip-Lok and selected low-pitch raised configurations.
VELUX FACTORY FLASHINGEDW / EDL / EKW
- EDW: compatible tiled roofs and low-profile metal such as corrugated iron / Spandek
- EDL: slate or shingle roofs, typically 4–8mm thick
- EKW: combination flashing for multiple skylights, 100mm spacing, for EDW-compatible roof types
- EDW is not for wide-span profiles such as TrimDeck or Klip-Lok
CENTRAL SKYLIGHTS CUSTOM FLASHINGCustom Colorbond Flashing M02
- Corrugated custom applications
- TrimDeck
- Klip-Lok
- Prefabricated or Flat Pack
- Colorbond colour and backflash options
- Raised-to-15° configuration for suitable sub-15° projects
Roof below 15°? VELUX specifies that pitched-roof skylights must be raised to at least 15° and custom flashed. VELUX also notes that this build-up is not recommended in bushfire areas.

Pitched-Roof Flashing & Installation Examples
These genuine Central Skylights images show real pitched-roof integration and drainage details. The first example is an FS fixed skylight rather than VS M02; it is used to illustrate the shared VELUX EDW/tile-roof flashing principle without mislabelling the model.
VELUX EDW Tile-Roof DetailReal Central Skylights pitched-roof installation showing how model-matched EDW flashing integrates with roof tiles. The project shown is an FS model, used here to illustrate the shared pitched-roof flashing approach.
Roof-Specific InstallationSkylight size, roof pitch, roof profile and flashing should be selected as one roof system.
Flashing & DrainageGood detailing directs water safely around the skylight and back into the roof drainage path.
Final flashing, shaft and control details depend on the actual VS model, roof material, roof pitch and finished ceiling height.

About VELUX VS M02
VS M02 is for pitched-roof rooms where daylight and natural ventilation are both useful but powered remote operation is unnecessary. Broader sky view than the c-series in a compact, near-square roof opening.
VELUX Australia lists VS with high-performance double glazing, approximately 80% radiant heat block for the complete skylight, approximately 99% UV block, U-value 2.50, SHGC 0.21 and a 32dB acoustic performance figure.
Choose VS When
- You want daylight and ventilation
- Manual control is practical
- You want a simpler/lower-cost opening model
- No powered rain sensor is required
Consider Another Model When
- FS if you only need daylight
- VSS for remote solar operation and rain sensor
- M02 has no same-size VSE in the current AU electric range
- A different VS size if room or framing proportions fit better
VS M02 Size, Daylight & Ventilation
| Model | VELUX VS M02 |
|---|---|
| Overall frame | 780 × 780mm |
| Internal glass | 637 × 599mm |
| Daylight area | 0.38m² |
| Ventilation area | 0.51m² |
| VELUX listed weight | 28.5kg including flashing |
| Profile height above batten | 130mm |
Important comparison: the same-size FS fixed skylight has a larger visible glass area because VS needs an opening sash and operating structure. If ventilation is not important, FS can provide more visible glass for the same nominal outer size.
Manual Control Options for VS M02
ZZZ 201
Within-reach winder handle. Replaces the supplied operating hook.
ZOZ 032
60cm short control rod for a VS that is only slightly out of reach.
ZCT 300
Telescopic rod adjustable approximately 145–285cm and used with the operating hook.
No rain sensor: VS is manual. It will not close itself if rain starts. Choose VSS or VSE if automatic rain closing is important.
Roof Types & Flashing Options
| Roof / layout | Typical flashing direction |
|---|---|
| Tile or compatible low-profile corrugated · 15°+ | VELUX EDW M02 |
| Slate / shingle · typically 4–8mm | VELUX EDL system |
| Multiple skylights | VELUX EKW combination system where applicable; VELUX specifies 100mm spacing |
| TrimDeck / Klip-Lok | Central roof-profile-specific custom flashing |
| Below 15° | Raise skylight to at least 15° and custom flash after project assessment |
Roof Framing, Shaft & Installation Planning
Overall product size is not the same as the required framed opening. Confirm rafter/truss spacing, structural member widths, roof battens, services and the finished plaster shaft before cutting.
- Check actual rafter/truss spacing
- Do not assume nominal centres equal a clear opening
- Do not cut structural trusses without proper design
- Plan the shaft around manual control reach
- Confirm roof profile and flashing before ordering
- Consider opening restrictor requirements for within-reach units
The same-size electric VSE M02 is not listed in the current Australian range; powered M02 buyers should compare VSS M02.

1. How do I open the VELUX VS M02?
Use ZZZ 201 when the skylight is within reach, ZOZ 032 when it is just out of reach, or ZCT 300 for higher installations. The operating hook is supplied with the VS; the manual controls are sold separately.
2. Does VS M02 have a rain sensor?
No. VS is a manual-opening skylight and does not automatically close if rain starts. Choose VSS M02 if automatic rain closing is important.
3. What flashing do I need for VS M02?
Use the flashing that matches the actual roof. EDW suits compatible tile and low-profile corrugated roofs; EDL is for slate/shingle; EKW is a combination system for suitable multiple-skylight layouts; TrimDeck/Klip-Lok and selected special situations need roof-specific custom flashing.
4. How heavy is VS M02?
VELUX lists VS M02 at approximately 28.5kg, with the product data-sheet footnote stating that this weight includes flashing. Use that figure when planning delivery and roof handling.
5. Should I choose FS M02, VS M02, VSE M02 or VSS M02?
Choose FS M02 for fixed daylight, VS M02 for manual ventilation, or VSS M02 for solar remote ventilation with rain sensor. The current Australian VSE electric range does not list M02.
Choose the operation, not just the size
FS vs VS vs VSE vs VSS M02
The same nominal size can serve very different buyers. Compare operation before the roof opening and flashing are committed.
FS M02Fixed. More visible glass and lower cost when ventilation is not required.View FS M02 →
VS M02Manual. Natural ventilation with hand/rod operation.
VSS M02Solar. Remote operation and rain sensor without a hard-wired motor.View VSS M02 →
No VSE M02The current Australian VSE electric range does not list M02. If you want powered M02 operation, compare VSS M02.

Optional light & heat control
Add an FSCH or FSLH Solar Blind to VS M02
Both blind families are designed for VS/VSE/VSS skylights and use their own solar power and wireless keypad, so adding a solar blind does not turn the manual VS skylight itself into a powered opening skylight.
View VS / VSE / VSS Blinds →Choose the Blind by Room
- FSCH Honeycomb: stronger room darkening and heat reduction
- FSLH Translucent: softer filtered daylight and glare reduction
- Useful in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and media spaces
