If you’re looking to improve the natural light, energy efficiency and overall aesthetic of your home, VELUX skylights are the perfect choice. As one of the leading manufacturers of skylights on the market, VELUX is a great option if you are renovating or building a new home or commercial property.
VELUX Skylights come in a range of designs for both pitched and flat roofs and will last for many decades in tough conditions.
Below are a few of the benefits of VELUX skylights.
Energy Efficiency
VELUX skylights are equipped with double glazing, Argon gas filling, and Low E³ coating for increased strength, energy efficiency, and thermal performance. The double glazing alone can block up to 80% of heat and 99% of UV rays, helping to keep the heat outside and prevent your furniture from fading in the sun.
Durability
VELUX skylights are built to last. They are made from high-quality materials and are tested to withstand extreme weather conditions. The skylights also have a 10-year warranty, giving you peace of mind knowing that your skylight is protected.
Design Flexibility
VELUX skylights are available in a wide range of sizes and styles, so you can find the perfect skylight for your home. If you’re seeking a modern style or a design feature, VELUX has the perfect skylight to enhance the living space of your home.
VELUX skylights can enhance your living space by bringing in natural light and make your home feel more open and brighter. They can also serve as a focal point in a room and can be used to highlight certain architectural features. Furthermore, VELUX offers a wide range of skylight sizes (fixed and opening options), meaning you can find the perfect match for your home’s design.
Made for Australian Conditions
Anyone who lives in Australia knows the weather conditions vary widely from one state to another with extremes of heat and cold weather. You’ll be glad to know VELUX has gone through stringent testing on their skylights that go way beyond Australia’s most extreme weather conditions.
Bushfire BAL 40 Rating
Bushfires are a harsh reality in Australia. VELUX skylights are BAL 40 rated, having passed intense bushfire simulation tests withstanding 930°C. VELUX filmed the testing process and in the video you can see how fire resistant the windows actually are.

Cyclone Tested
VELUX skylights are so tough they can survive the cyclonic conditions of Australia’s tropical north. To test the skylight capabilities, a skylight was secured to a testing bed and sealed up tight. Then came repeated rounds of air and water being pumped from every direction to test the seals and durability of the window frames. The skylight passed the test successfully.

Hail Tested
Under the stringent Hail test, you will see that VELUX skylights held up to the extreme conditions. With their toughened safety glass on the outside, even weathered hailstones as big as cricket balls did not break the glass. The toughened double glazing takes anything you throw at it. For an extra layer of protection there is also laminated safety glass on the inside to comply with Australian Standards.
