Wherever you are in Australia, VELUX Skylights offer the perfect solution to brighten up your kitchen, add privacy to your bathroom; the possibilities are unlimited.
To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled some helpful tips to guide you on selecting the perfect VELUX skylight for your home.
Factors to Consider
When choosing and installing a VELUX skylight, several factors need to be considered, including:
- Size and Style: When choosing a skylight, it is essential to consider the size and style that will complement the room’s aesthetics. VELUX offers a variety of skylight sizes and styles, including fixed, opening (allowing for ventilation), and electric, to suit different preferences and needs.
- Roof Type: When installing a skylight, you will need to consider the type of roof you have, whether it is flat or pitched, and whether it is made of tiles or corrugated iron. The size and construction of the roof will determine what size skylights can be installed.
- Positioning: Positioning should be one of your top considerations. You need to ensure that the skylight is not too big or too small, and that it can either open or is fixed. The size of the skylight needs to be taken into account to ensure that direct sunlight does not hit the living spaces during the hottest times of the day.
- Installation: It is imperative to have a qualified professional provide advice on the best size and to install the skylight to ensure proper and safe installation. This not only ensures peace of mind but also safeguards against potential mishaps that can otherwise be costly both in terms of money and risks to safety.
- Accessories: VELUX offers a variety of accessories that come in different sizes to fit its skylights. For instance, there are blinds that regulate light and heat, as well as remote controls specifically designed for electric skylights. With the range of accessories available, you can customize your skylight to meet your specific needs, giving you control over the amount of sunlight and heat that enters your home.
