How Does Skylight Installation Work
Skylight installation is the process of fitting a purpose-designed window or light well into a roof or ceiling to introduce natural daylight and, in some cases, fresh air. This service goes beyond simply cutting a hole and fitting glass.
It involves careful consideration of your property’s structure, roofing material, whether metal or tile, and strict adherence to Australian building standards. Our team handles all phases with attention to detail, drawing on decades of experience across NSW and QLD.
Assess Roof Structure for Skylight Installation
Accurate site evaluation is the foundation of reliable skylight installation. We begin by inspecting roof framing, identifying trusses or rafters, as well as noting any existing services like plumbing or wiring that may affect placement.
Our team considers daylight patterns throughout the year to choose positions that maximise natural light while avoiding excess heat or glare. This method prevents costly errors and ensures a finished result that improves both the look and function of your home.
Product Selection and Integration with Roofing Systems
Choosing the right skylight type for your property, whether fixed, vented, or tubular, depends on your space, roof design, and goals. For both tiled and metal roofs, we source products suitable to local compliance and performance needs, offering options like UV-filtered glazing, integrated blinds, and weather sensors.
Integration with existing roofing requires custom flashing and structural reinforcement. Five Star Roofing’s knowledge of both tile and metal roofs gives us an edge in providing seamless, weathertight installations across new builds and renovations.
Flashing, Waterproofing, and Final Finishing
A watertight seal is central to proper skylight installation in Australia’s varying climates. Our process includes the use of purpose-made flashing kits and proven waterproofing methods, tailored to your roof profile.
Internally, we ensure the light well or shaft is lined, insulated, and finished to blend with your existing ceiling. All our work meets the National Construction Code and, where required, regional bushfire or cyclonic compliance standards
If you’re thinking about adding natural light to your home with a skylight, our experienced team at Five Star Roofing is ready to guide you through every step, with clear advice and a professional finish.
Types of Skylight Installations We Service
At Five Star Roofing, we install a wide range of skylight options to suit both new builds and existing homes in NSW and QLD. We’ve worked across hundreds of projects and understand exactly which skylight types deliver the right balance of daylight, ventilation, and compliance for Australian buildings. Here’s a closer look at the most common skylight installations we offer.
Fixed Skylights for Consistent Daylighting
Fixed skylights remain a staple for homeowners looking to brighten areas without needing extra ventilation. These are fully sealed units, so they stop unwanted draughts and keep rain out. We regularly fit these to hallways, living spaces, and areas where you want steady natural light.
Our team ensures each unit is installed using energy-efficient glazing and proper seals, with options for double glazing and bushfire rating if your property needs it.
Vented Skylights and Ventilation-Focused Options
For kitchens, bathrooms, and loft spaces, vented skylights are a top pick. They let you bring in sunlight while also allowing steam and heat to escape, helping prevent condensation and mould. We install manual, electric, and even solar-operated vented skylights, including advanced models with rain sensors and insect screens.
Our installers stay updated on BAL-rated (bushfire attack level) products and match the right systems to your region and roof style.
Tubular Skylights for Tight or Internal Spaces
If you have a small or enclosed room that doesn’t get enough daylight, like a pantry, closet, or inner hallway, tubular skylights (solar tubes) are ideal. They channel sunlight from the roof to your ceiling via a highly reflective shaft, even around roof structure obstacles.
We often fit these where standard skylights won’t work because of space or framing. The installation has a minimal impact, and our team ensures a neat, glare-free finish with diffusers and matched flashings.
Roof Windows & Custom Glazed Skylight Designs
We handle the installation of full-featured roof windows and bespoke glazed skylights for homes wanting more than just basic daylight. These are great for attic conversions or luxury living areas. Whether fixed or opening, they require proper assessment and skilled installation to ensure structural integrity and compliance.
We have the experience to manage these installations safely, including architectural glass units and multi-panel skylight designs. If you’re considering skylight installation in NSW or QLD, get in touch with our team.
When Is Skylight Installation The Right Option For You
Installing skylights brings meaningful advantages to homes across Australia. Our team at Five Star Roofing sees the transformation skylight installation provides, not just in daylight, but in comfort, energy savings, and home value.
Maximising Natural Light in Australian Homes
Skylight installation is the most direct way to bring extra daylight into rooms that typical windows can’t reach. We often add skylights to hallways, living areas, and bathrooms that feel dim or closed off.
Our skilled team tailors placement for the best sun exposure, helping homes feel airier and more open while reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Improved Energy Efficiency and Bill Reduction
A properly installed skylight lets you switch off lights longer and harness free daylight. We use advanced glazing options to control heat, so our skylight installation helps curb energy loss in winter and keeps interiors cooler in summer. Many of our customers have noticed lower monthly electricity bills, some by as much as 15–20% after a careful install.
Health and Wellbeing Benefits from Sunlight
Daylight has clear psychological and physical gains. We see clients enjoy brighter spaces, improved mood, and reduced eye strain. Skylight installation supports sleep/wake rhythms while also helping reduce the presence of mould in humid areas. More sun inside your home means a better sense of well-being, every day.
Property Value and Market Appeal
Adding a skylight is a practical upgrade that makes properties more attractive to buyers. Our quality materials and installation methods meet the standards expected by modern homeowners. Over nearly 20 years, we’ve seen homes with well-designed skylight installations achieve stronger resale values and stand out for market appeal.
