Skylights
Custom Skylights
Glass Options
VELUX skylights are built with high-performance glass designed to deliver comfort, clarity, and confidence. We offer a variety of glass options for homes in high-impact zones and regions with heavy snowfall, as well as high-quality glass options for commercial spaces.
Standard Safety Glass
Our Standard Safety Glass is cleaner, quieter, and safer than any skylight glass on the market. That's why it comes standard on all VELUX Skylight Systems.
Laminated Glass
For utmost safety and compliance for out-of-reach applications, Standard Safety Glass is laminated and undergoes regular, rigorous testing to ensure its strength against the elements.
Reduced Spotting
Silicon dioxide makes the glass exceptionally smooth, allowing water to disperse evenly and evaporate quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
Minimizes Outside Noise
Standard Safety Glass is double-paned with an argon fill to help reduce more unwanted outside noise than standard double-pane glass and more than plastic skylights.
More Glass Options
Our other glass options are designed to meet specific climate, property, and performance needs without compromising on daylight or comfort.
