Coastal Homes, Renovations, Townhouses and Deep Floorplans
Bayside and Southern Melbourne homes often have beautiful streetscapes and strong lifestyle appeal, but many still have dark internal rooms. Older homes in Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock and Beaumaris may have traditional tiled roofs, established trees and deeper rooms. Renovated homes and townhouses around Cheltenham, Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Chelsea, Seaford and Frankston often include Colorbond roof sections, flat roof extensions and rooms with limited side windows.
Common skylight locations include hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, walk-in robes, stairwells and open-plan rear living areas. Natural light from above can make these areas feel brighter, cleaner and more spacious during the day.
A properly selected VELUX skylight installation, sun tunnel or roof window can improve the feel of the room without changing the footprint of the home.

Where Skylights Work Best in Bayside & Southern Melbourne Homes
Skylights work especially well where normal windows are limited, privacy is important or the centre of the home feels dark during the day.
Hallways
Long corridors can become brighter with a fixed skylight or sun tunnel installation.
Kitchens
A skylight above a kitchen island, benchtop or dining area can transform the feel of the home.
Bathrooms
Solar opening skylights can add daylight and ventilation while maintaining privacy.
Living Areas
Open-plan rear living areas often suit larger fixed skylights or flat roof skylights depending on the roof profile.
Walk-in Robes
Compact skylights or sun tunnels can make wardrobes easier to use during the day.
Laundries
Internal laundries often benefit from daylight, especially in townhouses and renovated floorplans.
Stairwells
A skylight above a stairwell can create a strong vertical light feature in double-storey homes.
Coastal Extensions
Rear and upstairs additions in Bayside homes often benefit from skylights where wall windows are limited.
Suitable VELUX Skylight Options for Bayside & Southern Melbourne

Correct Flashing for Bayside & Southern Melbourne Roofs
Flashing is one of the most important parts of a skylight installation. It helps integrate the skylight with the roof and directs water away from the opening.
Bayside and Southern Melbourne homes can have terracotta tiles, concrete tiles, corrugated metal, Colorbond, Trimdek, Klip-Lok, flat roof membranes and low-pitch roof sections. Each roof type may need a different flashing solution, especially on coastal homes where roof condition and exposure should be checked carefully.
- VELUX flashing and custom flashing options
- Custom Colorbond flashing for corrugated metal roof situations
- Trimdek and Klip-Lok profiles need profile-specific flashing advice
- Flat roof skylight flashing and kerb/upstand advice
- Old dome replacements need careful measurement and roof assessment
Send roof photos before choosing
Before choosing a skylight or flashing, send us your outside roof photos, inside ceiling photos, room photos, approximate skylight location and suburb.
