Skylight System

The Velux Skylight System is designed for total light control, enhanced energy efficiency and homeowner convenience. Featuring a pre-installed, remote-controlled, solar-powered shade, the Skylight System responds to growing demand for smarter, more sustainable daylight solutions.

Each system’s white shade blends into any interior. Alternative shade colors are available by custom order. The solar-powered remote operation charges on ambient light for sustainability and convenience and includes optional smart home integration. Built-in rain sensors on venting skylights ensure they close automatically. Despite these changes, the installation process remains unchanged.

The shade also enhances the energy efficiency of the Skylight System by reducing heat loss in winter and blocking heat gain in summer, providing year-round comfort and savings. Using shades with a skylight typically improves the U-value by 45% and the solar heat gain coefficient by 19%.

Velux Active with Netatmo

Velux Active with Netatmo is a smartphone-controlled skylight automation assistant where homeowners can automate when skylights open and close and when skylight blinds extend. The system connects to an online weather station that monitors outside conditions and uses indoor senses to monitor temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels inside. The system will open the skylights or extend the blinds if doing so will improve the conditions inside the home. The technology also enables voice-activated operation and the ability to set an open and close schedule. Velux Active is compatible with Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant. Booth #C3307.

CurveTech skylights are designed for use on flat or low-pitch roofs with pitches from 0 to 15 degrees. The curved edge-to-edge glass cover allows rainwater to disperse off the glass while installed on a zero-degree roof pitch, according to the company. The skylights come with a PVC curb with polystyrene filling and can be topped with a glass or polycarbonate dome. Available models include the fixed flat roof skylight or the flat roof exit skylight, which is available for polycarbonate dome covers and can open to a 60-degree angle.
