VELUX® Skylight and Sun Tunnel Options
Different skylight systems serve different needs and spaces. Wait Roofing & Seamless Gutter, Inc. helps you choose the right VELUX® solution for your Redding home.
VELUX® fixed skylights provide maximum light transmission without ventilation features. These sealed units work well in living rooms, kitchens, and spaces where you want abundant natural light but don't need airflow.
Fixed skylights cost less than venting models and offer excellent energy efficiency with insulated glazing.
VELUX® venting skylights open to allow hot air to escape and fresh air to enter. These work exceptionally well in bathrooms, kitchens, and upper-level rooms where heat accumulates during Redding summers.
Available with manual or solar-powered operation, venting skylights help reduce cooling costs by exhausting hot air naturally.
VELUX® Sun Tunnels use reflective tubes to channel daylight from your roof into interior spaces where traditional skylights won't fit. These compact systems work perfectly for hallways, closets, bathrooms, and pantries with limited attic space or complex roof structures.
Sun Tunnels cost less than traditional skylights, install faster, and provide impressive light output despite their small roof footprint.
Redding's intense summer heat requires careful attention to skylight glazing. We install VELUX® skylights with Low-E coatings that reflect infrared heat while allowing visible light to pass through.
Double-pane insulated glass reduces heat transfer in both directions and helps maintain comfortable interior temperatures year-round.
