Installation Process

Expert installation made easy.

VELUX® skylight systems and Sun Tunnel® Skylights can be installed in flat or vaulted ceilings in two worry-free phases: rooftop and interior. The pros will recommend where skylight systems should be installed, so you can reap the maximum benefit from the natural light and fresh air they provide.

Installation Types

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will come inside for interior finish work and possible painting. If you have a flat ceiling, your installer will use drywall or other finish material to build a shaft from the skylight to direct the daylight into the room. This phase takes around half a day per skylight.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole and fasten the VELUX skylight to the roof with three layers of protection to prevent leaks. Depending on the circumstances such as roof pitch and weather, the rooftop phase can take between one and three days.
2-3+ Days Total*

The Room

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the ceiling to install the lower portion of the reflective tube between the roof and ceiling.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the roof and install the top collar, the upper portion of the reflective tunnel, the lens and the flashing.
2 Hours*

The Room

There may be a small amount of interior drywall work depending on your replacement situation, but the majority of the replacement process will take place on the roof.

The Rooftop

VELUX-trained pros will get measurements from your existing skylights to ensure your replacements are a perfect fit, then they’ll replace your skylights

    As a General Contractor I have high standards for the Trades I work with. We have partnered with Innovative Skylights for well over a decade, and they have never failed to deliver quality products and customer service. Innovative team is consistently professional and always completes the full scope of work as promised. They recently installed a Velux FS M06 skylight and a Velux KIG 300 US Gateway with pre-installed solar room-darkening blinds, and the project turned out fantastic. The integration with the smartphone app for the solar shades is a game-changer for light control and energy efficiency. It is rare to find such consistent quality and technical expertise over a decade of service. I highly recommend Innovative Skylights for any skylight project, whether for a homeowner or a fellow professional!

    We are very happy with the skylight installed. The team was professional, fast, protected the room from dust and debris and left the space clean.
