Why Skylights? — Roof Windows Can Change an Attic into a Comfortable Bonus Room

If you’re thinking about converting your home’s bonus room into a home office, play room or bedroom, skylights or roof windows are the perfect way to add light to the room.

Velux Cabrio Balcony

The Velux Cabrio balcony opens quickly to let in the sun and fresh air to your loft. This innovative balcony adds air, light and a great view to your home, but for added aesthetics, the Cabrio balcony closes flush with the roof.

Center-Pivot Roof Windows

Put fresh air at your fingertips with a center-pivot Velux roof window. Center-pivot roof windows are easy to use – even with furniture beneath. The innovative top control bar allows you to install the window lower than any other roof window to get excellent views.

Top Hinged Roof Windows

Get fresh air and a great view with top hinged roof windows from Velux. Top hinged roof windows are easy to use and allow for a great walk out view.

Roof Access Windows

In some cases, building codes need a form of emergency egress for bedrooms or other lodgings. A Velux roof access window will fulfill this need, and allow for fresh air and a walk out view too. All Velux roof windows make it easier to gain access to the outdoors, but the side hinged roof access window is designed for this specific reason.

Why a VELUX GDL Cabrio Balcony?

Much more than just a window!

VELUX CABRIO® balcony windows can dramatically change a room.

They’re the fastest way to add natural light, ventilation and the feeling of openness to your under roof spaces.

The impact in terms of daylight and fresh air, not to mention the view, is stunning.

Why a Top-Hinged Roof Window?

A loft area isn’t complete without a great view of the countryside or city.

When fully open, they give you an uninterrupted view, while the window sash acts as a roof over the opening.

Because the handle is at the bottom, they are simple to open and close, even when installed high up.

And to make cleaning a breeze, the window swivels in its frame for easy access.

Why a Center Pivot Roof Window?

A center-pivot roof window is easy to operate— even with furniture beneath. The innovative top control bar allows you to open, close and ventilate with ease.

You can install the window lower than an equivalent top-hung operated roof window to get an excellent view while standing and when seated.

Works well in rooms with a low ceiling or where you’d like a better view of the surroundings below.

What Is a Curb Mount* SUN TUNNEL?

A curb is simply a wooden box that is built higher than the roof and flashed (sealed) to become part of the roof.

The SUN TUNNEL is then mounted on the curb—much like the lid of a shoe box—and attached from the outside.

*Required for roof slopes LESS than 3/12 (14°).

SUN TUNNEL Light Kit

It's a UL approved energy efficient CFL (26 watts) light fixture designed especially for VELUX SUN TUNNEL's.

Provides light at night and those dark, stormy days we seldom see in Colorado.

Easy to install in an existing switch circuit.

The Typical Sun Tunnel Installation:

TMR 14 - 14" dia. - 4' Rigid Tunnel - Pitched Flashing
$949* Installed.

Suitable for spaces 10x10 or smaller. Great for closets, hallways, entryways and stairwells. Or task lighting over desks, counters, sinks or work benches.

*There are a number of factors that aren't typical that add to the cost of an installation. For example: Steep roof. Difficult attic access. Tile roof. Extra tubing.
