Best suited for

The VSE C04 is best for rooms where you want both daylight and easy ventilation, especially when the skylight is out of reach or used often. It gives more daylight depth than C01 while keeping the slim 550mm C-size width.

It is especially useful in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and bedrooms where warm air, humidity or odours can build up. The rain sensor adds peace of mind by closing the skylight automatically when rain is detected.

Light & heat control

Suitable blind for VELUX VSE C04

For extra comfort, privacy and light control, pair the VSE C04 with a suitable VELUX blind made for VS, VSE and VSS opening skylights.

VELUX Blinds for VS, VSE and VSS Skylights

The suitable blind product for VSE C04 is the VELUX VS/VSE/VSS blind range, including FSCH Solar Honeycomb Blackout and FSLH Solar Translucent options. Select the VS/VSE/VSS C04 550 x 980mm size option when ordering.

  • FSCH Solar Honeycomb Blackout: best for stronger room darkening, glare control and heat reduction.
  • FSLH Solar Translucent: best for softer filtered daylight while still reducing glare.
  • Solar remote operation: convenient light control without needing hard-wired blind power.

When should you add a blind?

A blind is worth considering when the skylight is above a bedroom, bathroom, home office, TV area, kitchen bench or any room where you want better control over sunlight, privacy and summer heat.

For most VSE C04 installs, the skylight, flashing and blind should be selected together so the size and accessories match correctly before ordering.

Model guide

About this VELUX VSE model

About the VELUX VSE C04

The VELUX VSE C04 electric opening skylight is designed for pitched roof homes where the room needs daylight, fresh air and convenient remote operation.

Its white painted interior frame, grey aluminium exterior cappings, low-profile roof position, insect screen and rain sensor make it a premium upgrade for compact to medium rooms that need better ventilation control.

Electric vs manual vs solar

Choose VSE C04 when you want electric remote operation and you have a suitable nearby power point. It is ideal when the skylight is out of reach or used frequently.

For simpler opening, compare VS C04 manual opening. For wireless powered operation without a hard-wired skylight motor, compare VSS C04 solar opening.

Supply only vs installed

Central Skylights can supply the VSE C04 for pickup from Noble Park, arrange Melbourne delivery where available, or help with a complete supply-and-install option for suitable projects.

Homeowners often prefer full installation where the job needs roof preparation, flashing, shaft framing, plastering and coordination around power access.

Melbourne installation notes

VSE C04 installation depends on roof pitch, roof profile, rafter spacing, water flow, flashing selection and power point location. The skylight requires a minimum 15° roof pitch, or an inclined flashing detail if used on lower-pitch situations.

Before ordering, confirm whether your roof is tiled, corrugated, TrimDeck, Kliplok or another metal profile so the correct C04 flashing can be matched to the skylight.
