Skylights by Velux

Adding skylights to your home is one of the best ways to brighten your space, improve ventilation, and enhance comfort. For decades, VELUX has led the industry in skylight design, innovation, and performance. Known for quality and reliability, VELUX offers a wide range of skylight products for both residential and commercial use.

At Hardesty Roofing, we proudly install VELUX skylights for homeowners and businesses across Richmond, Charlottesville, the Tri-Cities, Northern Neck, and Tidewater. Whether you're planning a remodel, replacing an existing skylight, or building a new space, VELUX has an option that fits your needs.

Why Choose VELUX Skylights?

VELUX skylights are designed to deliver more than just daylight. They offer natural ventilation, energy efficiency, and long-term peace of mind. VELUX builds all its skylights with standard laminated safety glass, providing added protection from breakage and UV rays.

They also come with an industry-leading 10-year warranty on skylights and flashing, giving you confidence in their performance and durability.

Solar Powered Skylights

For homeowners looking for modern convenience and energy savings, the Solar Powered Skylight is an excellent choice. This skylight opens and closes using a solar-powered motor, eliminating the need for electrical wiring.

A built-in rain sensor automatically closes the skylight at the first sign of rain. You can easily control it with a remote or a wall-mounted keypad. These skylights are ideal for rooms that require additional airflow, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and upstairs bedrooms.

Electric Skylights

Suppose your skylight is within reach of an existing power source. In that case, the Electric Skylight provides the same ventilation benefits with the push of a button. It features a quiet motor, a built-in rain sensor, and an intuitive remote control.

Electric models are ideal for larger homes and new construction projects where power access is readily available. These units offer the same energy-efficient glass and sleek design as other VELUX products.

Manual Skylights

The Manual Skylight provides all the benefits of natural ventilation at a more affordable price point. This option is operated using a hand crank or control rod, depending on the installation height.

It is a great choice for ground-floor or single-story homes where accessibility is not an issue. You still get the same high-quality laminated glass, built-in insect screen, and durable construction.

Fixed Skylights

If your goal is to bring in more daylight without ventilation, the VELUX Fixed Skylight is the perfect solution. These non-opening skylights offer a clear view of the sky while maintaining your home's airtightness and energy efficiency.

They are a great fit for hallways, staircases, or any room that could use more natural light without added airflow. Fixed skylights offer the same UV protection and energy efficiency as vented models.

Flat Roof Skylights

Not every home or building has a pitched roof. For those with flat or low-slope roofs, VELUX offers specially designed Flat Roof Skylights. These products combine contemporary design with excellent thermal performance and weather resistance.

They feature a curved or flat glass top and are available in both vented and fixed versions. This design makes them ideal for modern homes, additions, and even commercial spaces. Installation is straightforward, and the final result looks clean and seamless.

SkyMax Skylights

The VELUX SkyMax Skylight is one of the largest residential skylights on the market. It allows you to bring dramatic amounts of daylight into oversized spaces, such as great rooms, open-plan kitchens, or large offices.

SkyMax offers a stunning, uninterrupted view of the sky, thanks to its expansive size and slimline frame. Despite their scale, they meet strict energy efficiency standards, and trained professionals like those on our team at Hardesty Roofing can easily install them.

VELUX Architectural Series

For custom homes and unique designs, the VELUX Architectural Series offers tailor-made solutions to meet high-end architectural requirements. These skylights can be built in custom sizes and configurations to match your specific design vision.

They are perfect for luxury residences, atriums, galleries, and large living spaces where aesthetics matter just as much as function. Each unit is crafted with attention to detail and built to exceed performance standards.

Commercial Skylights

VELUX is not just for homeowners. The brand also provides a full line of Commercial Skylights that bring natural light into office buildings, schools, hospitals, and industrial spaces.

Options include modular skylights, sun tunnels, and smoke vents, depending on your building’s design and purpose. These skylights enhance energy efficiency, boost employee morale, and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.

VELUX commercial products are known for their ease of installation, long lifespan, and compliance with local building codes. They also come with the same strong warranties and performance guarantees as the residential line.

Safety, Efficiency, and Peace of Mind

They build every VELUX skylight with laminated safety glass for added protection. This type of glass resists shattering and reduces UV exposure, protecting your floors and furniture from fading.

These skylights also meet ENERGY STAR® requirements and are engineered to reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. That means you can enjoy more daylight without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.

Warranty and Support

VELUX stands behind its products with a 10-year warranty on skylights and flashing. Many units also qualify for federal tax credits, especially solar-powered models. With proper installation and regular maintenance, you can expect years of worry-free performance.

At Hardesty Roofing, we are trained and certified in VELUX skylight installation. We ensure that we complete every project correctly the first time. Our team will also help you register your warranty and understand how to care for your new skylight.
