If you’re considering skylight replacement, it’s important to choose the right type of skylight for your home. There are various options available, including fixed skylights, vented skylights, and tubular skylights. Fixed skylights are a popular choice as they provide natural light without the option for ventilation. Vented skylights, on the other hand, offer both natural light and the ability to open and close for fresh air. Tubular skylights are a great option for smaller spaces or areas with limited roof space. Whatever type of skylight you choose, make sure to consult with a professional installer to ensure proper installation and maximize energy efficiency in your home.

Curb Mounted Skylights
Curb-mounted skylights are the most common skylight type. This design requires a box structure for the unit to sit on. The skylight is designed to sit over the curb like a lid on a shoe box. One of the benefits of this design is the ability to replace older skylights without having to re-flash the skylight at the same time. This can greatly reduce the amount of labor required. Another benefit is the ease of manufacturing custom sizes. The downside is the higher profile created by the curb and the decreased energy efficiency, as most existing curbs are not insulated beyond the 1 ½” thickness of the curb itself.
Deck-mounted skylights are a more recent design that lowers the profile of the unit and increases the energy efficiency by ‘hugging’ the roof. In this design, the curb is the skylight itself. Higher quality manufacturers, such as Velux, have perfected the art over the last several decades by producing integral flashing kits for various sizes and roofing types. The lower profile provides a better visual appeal, inside and out, and the increased energy efficiency provides a more comfortable living space and peace of mind. Deck-mounted skylights are the choice for new construction or for installing new skylights in existing homes.
Time to time we come across situations where fitting a skylight with standard measurements is a challenge. Velux has made it easier for us installers to keep the interior of the opening the same, but fit perfectly with perfect measurements on the outside. Custom-size skylight takes a few weeks for delivery but are perfect solution when it comes to saving money but not making any interior changes.
When installing a skylight in your home, you can either handle the project yourself or engage a professional installer in your area. Since skylight installation is a complex process, The Roof Whisperer suggests consulting with our installer unless you have significant expertise. This approach will minimize complications. Discover the advantages of working with a VELUX-certified installation professional.
What should you expect during a consultation?
During your consultation, the installer will evaluate the intended skylight location. They will provide guidance on appropriate skylight dimensions, and quantity recommendations for the space, and determine the most suitable installation method (such as deck-mounted or curb-mounted systems). Additionally, they can guide you through various blind options to enhance your skylight’s appearance.
What should you expect during installation?
Skylight installation involves two main stages: exterior roof work and interior finishing. Installation duration varies from half a day to three days, depending on factors like roof angle, light shaft configuration, and weather conditions. The roof phase includes creating the opening and securing the skylight with VELUX’s triple-layer water protection system.
The interior installation typically requires about half a day per skylight, involving drywall work and painting (unless utilizing an Instant Light Shaft). Installers take precautions to shield your home’s interior from construction debris. They typically install plastic barriers around the ceiling opening to contain dust during installation.
What if I have a flat ceiling?
Flat ceiling installations require more extensive drywall work compared to vaulted ceilings. For flat ceilings, your installer will construct a drywall shaft connecting the skylight to channel natural light into the space. The installer will ensure the light shaft’s paint matches your existing ceiling color.
