How Velux Skylights Work
If you’re considering Velux skylights for your home or business in Australia, you’ll find they are a premium solution for adding daylight and fresh air. Velux is a brand known for quality, and their skylights are made to cope with Australia’s climate challenges. Our team has years of experience integrating Velux skylights with both tile and metal roofs across NSW and QLD.
Range of Velux Skylight Types
Velux offers several options to suit different spaces and needs. Fixed skylights bring in daylight where you don’t need ventilation, ideal for hallways or stairwells. Manual opening skylights allow ventilation. Perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.
There are also electric and solar-powered units with remote controls and sensors, for hands-free operation. Our installers can advise on the best fit, making sure your skylight matches your roof profile and requirements.
Technical Features and Roof Compatibility
Velux skylights use insulated, double-glazed glass, which is designed to reduce heat loss in winter and keep interiors cooler in summer. Their flashing kits are tailored for Australian tiles, corrugated iron, flat metal, and even slate, making them suitable for almost any roof.
Our installers make sure each unit is watertight, using the recommended flashing for each roof type, ensuring long-term leak resistance and meeting all relevant local standards.
Regulatory Compliance and Bushfire Safety
Velux skylights designed for Australia comply with rigorous standards, including AS 4285 for water tightness and AS 3959 for use in bushfire-prone areas. Certain models meet BAL-40 requirements, which we often specify in high-risk zones. We always select units and install to code, so you have peace of mind about durability and compliance.
Our team brings nearly two decades of roofing and skylight expertise to every project. If you’re planning a new build or renovation and want the best results with Velux skylights, get in touch to discuss your options with our experienced team.
What Makes Velux Skylights a Great Choice
Understanding what sets VELUX skylights apart helps homeowners make confident choices for natural lighting and ventilation. At Five Star Roofing, we install VELUX skylights for residential and commercial projects across NSW and QLD, combining their leading features with our decades of roofing experience.
Advanced Insulation and Glazing for Australian Conditions
VELUX skylights use high-performance double glazing, which means you get excellent thermal efficiency all year. The glass blocks up to 99% of UV rays and around 70–75% of radiant heat, keeping your interiors comfortable and helping to protect flooring, furniture, and artwork from fading. The special NEAT™ coating on the glass reduces how often you’ll need to clean, as it breaks down dirt naturally with sunlight.
Durable Construction for Long-Term Value
Each VELUX skylight comes with an all-metal aluminium frame finished in maintenance-free lacquer, offering strong resistance against corrosion or UV-related damage. This is vital for the varying weather conditions across NSW and QLD, and helps the skylights last much longer than traditional alternatives. Our team ensures every installation meets the highest standards, making these skylights a reliable, low-maintenance solution.
Flexible Installation to Suit Any Project
VELUX’s wide range of sizes and models work for most roof types: tile, metal, or flat. There are tailored flashing kits for various pitches and profiles, meaning we can install VELUX skylights efficiently on both new builds and renovations.
Their low-profile designs blend with the roofline, and installation is possible even between standard roof trusses. This versatility means we can provide daylighting solutions for basically any property layout.
Safety and Compliance in Every Detail
For those in areas impacted by bushfires or severe storms, VELUX skylights carry a BAL-40 bushfire attack level rating and comply with all relevant Australian Standards. Features like laminated safety glass and tested hail resistance add peace of mind for homeowners. Our team takes care to deliver installations that not only look great but also meet all safety requirements.

Why You Should Consider Getting Velux Skylights
Velux skylights bring practical value and comfort to homes throughout Australia. Our team at Five Star Roofing has installed countless units across NSW and QLD, seeing first-hand how they transform both new builds and existing spaces.
Improved Natural Lighting with Velux Skylights
Velux skylights allow daylight to reach even the dimmest rooms, creating a brighter and more welcoming home. With strategic installation, we help homeowners reduce their dependence on artificial light, which can also ease energy usage through the day. Many clients notice their living areas feel larger and more connected to the outdoors right after installation.
Advanced Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality
Many Velux skylight models can be opened to promote airflow and tackle humidity. This is a big advantage for spaces like bathrooms or kitchens that often struggle with moisture and poor ventilation. We guide every customer on the right placement and model to make sure your home benefits from healthier indoor air and less risk of mould or condensation.
Energy Efficiency for the Australian Climate
Velux skylights use advanced glazing and insulation, helping regulate indoor temperatures despite the changing weather across Australia. Energy-efficient models, including those with double-glazing and Low-E glass, maintain comfort and can deliver noticeable savings on heating and cooling. We always consider home orientation and your specific roofing when recommending Velux options.
Durability and Protection from Harsh Australian Conditions
With rigorous weatherproofing and compliant bushfire ratings on many models, Velux skylights are built to last in Australia’s demanding environment. They block harmful UV rays, protect your furnishings, and are proven to resist extreme heat and rainfall.
Our team only installs genuine Velux products, ensuring you get the durability and performance your home deserves.

How We Install Velux Skylights
At Five Star Roofing, we handle every Velux skylight project with care and precision. Here’s how our process works when you trust us with your home.
Assess Your Roof and Room
We start with a close look at your roof and the room below. Our team checks for structure, roof type, and what you want from your skylight, be it better lighting, fresh air, or improved efficiency. This helps us match the right Velux model for your needs and ensures everything fits smoothly.
Carefully Install the Skylight
After planning, we install your chosen Velux skylight. Our crew uses methods suited for both metal and tile roofs, making weather resistance and leak prevention a priority. We follow both Velux guidelines and local standards, so your skylight stands up to tough Australian conditions for years to come.
Internal Finishing and Light Wells
Once the skylight is weathertight, we take care of the internal finish. We build light wells or shafts as needed, ensuring the ceiling opening blends smoothly with your room and maximises natural light.
Conduct Final Checks
Before we leave, we test the skylight’s features (such as opening, blinds, or ventilation), check all seals, and clean up the space. We then walk you through the finished work, so you know exactly what’s been done and how to use your new skylight.
