On skylights, flashings and glazing
Quality frame made from Ponderosa pine. Factory treated with a base preservative to reduce mould and mildew. Further treated with a coat of white paint for clean interior finish. The FS Skylight provides a cost effective solution for creating light-filled rooms where adequate ventilation already exists. Energy efficient glazing and the use of blinds ensures heat transference is minimised.
Laminated glass (standard with VCS) must be used
for skylights installed 3m or more above floor level.
* For roofs below 15° pitch, skylights need to be raised to 15° and custom flashed. VELUX can assist with technical advice and drawings.
(NB: build-up not recommended in Bushfire areas.).
Blinds and control rods sold separately.
EDW flashing is used for skylights installed into tiled roofs and low profiled metal roofs (such as corrugated iron and spandek – not suitable for metal profiles such as Klip-Lok, Trimdek).
EDL flashing is used for skylights installed into slate or shingle roofs – typically 4-8mm thick. ‘L’ shaped sections are provided that act as soaker pieces on either side of the skylight.
Designed for installing multiple skylights side-by-side or above-below. Skylights must be spaced 100mm apart. EKW suitable for same roofs as EDW flashing.
NB: VELUX blinds and flashings do not fit older VELUX products. Contact VELUX to check availability of suitable blinds and flashings.
Skylights can only be installed as per orientation depicted above.
‡ Weight includes flashing.
