Installation methods

Skylights in the United States are installed using a variety of different installation methods. The preferred method generally depends on geographic location. To meet market demands, VELUX has developed products for the three most popular installation types. The pages in this section contain listings of VELUX skylights available for each installation method.
Deck mounted
Combine an insulated glass lens, pre-finished white wood frame and protective aluminum or copper cladding into one unit that mounts directly to the roof deck.
Curb mounted
Combine an insulated glass lens and maintenance free frame that is designed to mount directly to a site-built curb.
Pan-flashed
Combine an insulated glass lens and maintenance free frame that is a flashed unit with its own metal pan-flashed curb.

Installing blinds yourself
If you prefer, you can also install your blinds yourself. VELUX blinds are designed to be easily installed in VELUX skylights and roof windows. Because VELUX blinds are sized to fit, installation requires only a few screws, with no cutting or adjustment of the blinds required. You can view the installations in the videos below.

All VELUX products come with easy to read, step by step illustrated installation instructions. PDF versions of instructions are also available for download using the dropdown menus to the left.
