VELUX Manual Venting Deck Mount Skylight - White Solar Powered Shade

In addition to bringing in an abundance of natural light, venting skylights can be opened to create a chimney effect, drawing air upward to improve air quality within your home. Deck mount skylights mount directly on the roof deck over a rough opening, work with a wide variety of roofing materials, and their streamlined exterior profile won't obstruct your roofline.

VELUX VS manual “Fresh Air” skylights include an insect screen and hook which can be turned using a ZCT 300 telescoping control rod (sold separately) or you can purchase a ZZZ 201 crank handle if your VS skylight will be installed within reach. We are often asked why we don’t include those accessories with the skylight. The answer is: most customers order 2+ skylights, most VS skylights are installed out of reach, and a control rod can operate multiple skylights. If we included a control rod and crank handle in every box, many control rods and crank handles would go straight to a landfill. Selling these products separately reduces waste and prevents customers from paying for something they don’t need.

VELUX skylights with the Go Solar option include a factory-installed solar powered shade that has a built-in solar panel, rechargeable battery-operated control system, and a basic remote control. This lets you control the amount of light with only the touch of a button, and there’s no need for electrical wiring or an electrician during installation. They also include an internet gateway, which allows you to control the shade with your smartphone and enable automatic programs that boost energy efficiency.

The room darkening shade utilizes a double-pleated honeycomb structure with an interior aluminum coating to block even the brightest sunlight, making it ideal for bedrooms, entertainment rooms or any other space where light control is important. By helping prevent thermal heat gain, skylight shades can improve the energy efficiency of your skylights by up to 40% compared to skylights without shades.
