Construction
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.
High Performance Double Glazing
Benefits:
- Radiant heat block: Complete window Glass only
- UV Harmful rays block approx 99%
- WERS rating 5 stars
- Double layer of Low-E³ coating.
- 10 year warranty on insulated glass seal.
- Reduced cleaning frequency.
Australian Standard AS1288
Laminated glass (standard with VCS) must be used
for skylights installed 3m or more above floor level.
NEAT™ Photocatalytic Coating
- Silicone Dioxide/Titanium Dioxide coating reacts with the sun’s UV rays to decompose surface organic dirt before rinsing away with the next shower of rain, thereby reducing cleaning frequency.
- The coating also makes the glass surface smoother, so water disperses evenly, sheets off, and evaporates quickly; thereby minimising water spotting on the pane.
* 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.).
Honeycomb blinds

EDW flashing
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
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.
EKW combination flashing
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.
