Solar Powered Fresh Air
Skylights can bring in a breath of fresh air and reduce mold growth in areas like bathrooms where pollutants and toxins tend to accumulate.
Fresh air skylights function like roof windows, allowing natural light to pour in and pollutants to vent out.
The Solar Powered "Fresh Air" skylight from Velux is a great option, featuring a solar panel that captures daylight to recharge its battery-powered operator and control system.
This skylight is backed by Velux's No Leak Warranty, giving you peace of mind.
VELUX skylights and roof windows allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home, reducing pollutants and preventing mold growth.
By introducing clean, fresh air to your home, you can reduce moisture damage and condensation that often leads to mold and mildew.
Installation
Velux skylights and roof windows have been bringing daylight and fresh air into homes around the world for over 80 years. They help create bright, healthy, and energy-efficient places to live, work, learn, and play.
You can have Velux skylights and roof windows retro-fitted into existing construction or as part of your home remodeling plans. This is a great option for homeowners who want to upgrade their space without completely renovating.
The laws passed in 2009 encourage Americans to include products that harness renewable energy sources in their home building or remodeling plans. This can result in big tax savings on both installation and purchase costs, which can be debited from your total tax liability.
Curb Mounted
Curb mounted Velux skylights are a great option for flat roof installations or roofs with up to a 60 degree pitch. They provide a clean exterior profile that brings in natural light without obstructing the roofline.
These skylights seamlessly pair with VELUX skylight shades for optimal light control. This means you can adjust the amount of light entering your home to suit your needs.
A flashing kit is required for the 10 Year No Leak Warranty, so be sure to factor that into your installation costs. This warranty gives you peace of mind knowing that your skylight is protected against leaks.
If you're looking to take advantage of tax savings, curb mounted Velux skylights are eligible for the Federal Solar Tax Credit with the addition of Solar Shades. This can result in significant savings on your tax liability.
