Pitched Roof

Pitched roofs, characterized by their sloping angles, are the most common roof type for residential homes. When installing a Velux skylight on a pitched roof, it's essential to consider the pitch angle, as this will determine the appropriate flashing kit and installation method. Velux offers flashing kits designed specifically for pitched roofs, ensuring a watertight seal and proper integration with your roofing material.

Flat Roof

Flat roofs present unique challenges when it comes to skylight installation, as they lack the natural slope necessary for proper water drainage. Velux offers a range of specially designed flat roof skylights, featuring low-profile designs and integrated drainage systems to prevent water pooling. Additionally, Velux flat roof skylights can be installed with curb-mounted or deck-mounted configurations, depending on your roof's construction.

Metal Roof

Metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. When installing a Velux skylight on a metal roof, it's essential to use the appropriate flashing kit compatible with metal roofing materials. Velux offers metal roof flashing kits designed to withstand the unique challenges posed by metal roofs, ensuring a secure and weathertight installation.

Tile Roof

Tile roofs are known for their longevity and architectural charm, but they require careful consideration when installing skylights. Velux offers tile roof flashing kits designed to accommodate various types of tile roofing, including clay, concrete, and slate. These flashing kits ensure a seamless integration with your tile roof, providing reliable protection against leaks and water infiltration.

Shingle Roof

Shingle roofs are the most common roofing material in North America, and installing a Velux skylight on a shingle roof is relatively straightforward. Velux offers shingle roof flashing kits designed to fit seamlessly with standard asphalt or composite shingles, ensuring a secure and weather-resistant installation.

Choosing the right Velux skylight for your roof type is essential for ensuring a successful installation and optimal performance. Whether you have a pitched roof, flat roof, metal roof, tile roof, or shingle roof, Velux offers a range of skylight options and flashing kits designed to meet your specific needs. By selecting the appropriate skylight and flashing kit for your roof type, you can enjoy the benefits of natural light in your home for years to come.
