Venting modules
In venting modules, the actuator is fully integrated in the wooden upstand. The actuator is not visible from the inside when the module is closed, thus there is no visual difference between fixed and vented modules.

Product variations
Modular Rooflights are made-to-measure and can be configured, manufactured and delivered in bespoke sizes for specific requirements. Linearlight fixed and/or venting is a unique solution that by placing modules side by side form a continuous system without the need for additional support. The solution consists of pure fixed modules, pure venting modules or a combination of both, based on customer wishes.
The upstand with advanced connector system and drainage gutter ensures a watertight and airtight connection between the modules. A minimized beam ensures a beautiful connection on the inside.
Linearlight Fixed is available as burglary-resistant version according to EN 1627:2011 and NEN 5096-2012+A1:2015: Class 2 (RC 2).
Modular Rooflight modules are supported by a 10-year guarantee. Actuators and other electrical components that are part of the modular system come with a three-year guarantee.
VELUX Commercial specialists can offer support throughout design, specification and installation. Based on customer requirements a static calculation on snow and windload will be made by VELUX Commercial for each building situation.
Construction
Our interactive product cut sample is a fully rendered and interactive 3D model that allows you to examine the shape and design of the Modular Rooflights Linearlight in much greater detail than possible through photography alone.
Our model allows you to view the product from every direction and zoom in and out to view it up close.
- Aluminium frame (height vary depending on glazing unit)
Pre-assembled corners and powder coated aluminium frame with the standard colour grey. - Insulating Glass Unit (IGU)
Available in double and triple glazing, standard with LowE coating or with additional Sun protection. - Silk screen print
The silk screen print gives a nice finish as well as UV protection to the gaskets and the underlying construction. - Double gaskets
The top plate gasket and the gasket on the aluminium profile provide a watertight and airtight construction. - Upstand
90° angle provides a straight connection with the interior. The wood-EPS sandwich construction provides a stable and well-insulated upstand for a good insulating performance of the entire product. - Lining profile
This multifunctional part defines the clear internal part of the product. It offers the possibility for a secure connection to the vapour barrier in the roof construction. It also makes the flush plaster board connection from ceiling to glazing easy and intuitive during installation. Vapour barrier and inner lining are to be supplied by others. The profile also supports installation of an optional roller blind. - Pre-wiring for roller blinds
Hidden pre-wiring is optional for nice and easy installation of VELUX roller blinds. - Minimized beam
The beam with optimized reinforcement is supporting the top unit while it is kept as slim as possible in order to maximize light entrance. - Drainage gutter
Rain water flows down the drainage gutter and is transported to the outside of the product. - Fixed module
- Venting module

Frequently asked questions
What benefits does Linearlight offer in terms of daylight distribution for large interior spaces like atriums, corridors, or production areas?
What benefits does Linearlight offer in terms of daylight distribution for large interior spaces like atriums, corridors, or production areas?
Linearlight is designed to create wide, uninterrupted daylight sources, which is ideal for these types of spaces. This installation uses an advanced connector system that allows for larger bands of natural light without the need for additional support. This means that the light incidence is maximized because the light area is equal to the roof opening, ensuring full utilization of the opening without intrusive framing blocking daylight. This makes Linearlight particularly suitable for creating continuous bands of natural light, providing consistent daylight distribution across large open spaces.
How can the use of Linearlight rooflights contribute to meeting sustainability or energy efficiency targets (e.g., BREEAM, LEED)?
How can the use of Linearlight rooflights contribute to meeting sustainability or energy efficiency targets (e.g., BREEAM, LEED)?
Linearlight contributes to sustainability goals through:
- Use of 99.6% FSC or PEFC certified wood in European factories.
- Natural ventilation capabilities that reduce reliance on mechanical systems.
- High thermal performance with Ug-values as low as 0.5 W/m²K for triple glazing.
- Optimized daylight penetration: Installing skylights increases daylight in the room, which can reduce the use of artificial lighting by up to 60%
What design flexibility does Linearlight offer in terms of module length, layout, and aesthetic integration with modern architecture?
What design flexibility does Linearlight offer in terms of module length, layout, and aesthetic integration with modern architecture?
Linearlight offers extensive design flexibility, making it ideal for seamless integration with modern architecture. Its made-to-measure modules can be configured to the millimeter, with widths ranging from 250 to 3000 mm and lengths from 250 to 2000 mm, depending on the module type. Upstand heights are also customizable, from 150 to 600 mm. It is available in both fixed and venting versions. A wide range of glazing options is offered, including double and triple glazing with various coatings to suit performance and aesthetic needs. Importantly, there is no visual difference between fixed and venting modules when closed, preserving a uniform appearance.
How does Linearlight perform under extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow loads, or high UV exposure?
How does Linearlight perform under extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow loads, or high UV exposure?
Linearlight has impressive performance ratings for various weather conditions:
- Resistance to wind load: Class C3.
- Watertightness: Class E1200 (tested to withstand water pressure equivalent to 1200 Pa).
- Air permeability: Class 4 (highest class)..
- An optional snow gasket can be post-mounted to prevent snow from getting between the modules.
- The glazing includes UV protection through the silk screen print around the edges.
Are ventilation options available with Linearlight (e.g., motorized units)?
Are ventilation options available with Linearlight (e.g., motorized units)?
Yes, ventilation options are available with Linearlight. The venting version includes motorized openings through chain actuators that are fully integrated in the wooden upstand. These modules can be controlled by either VELUX io-homecontrol® or Open System ±24V (OS ±24V DC) control system.
How is Linearlight different from Modular Skylight installations?
How is Linearlight different from Modular Skylight installations?
Linearlight is a lean, linear solution for flat roofs, ideal for fast retrofits or targeted daylighting, whereas VELUX Modular Skylights offer scalable, architectural flexibility for larger or more complex daylighting needs.
Key differences:
- Application & design focus
Linearlight is designed for rooflight installations in flat roofs, creating long, narrow strips of daylight.
Modular Skylights are intended for larger roof glazing systems, often in more complex solution types or spans. - Installation context
Linearlight is ideal for corridors, narrow rooms, or hallways in flat-roofed buildings.
Modular Skylights are typically used in large atriums or open-plan areas, where bigger daylight areas or multiple modules are needed. - Configuration options
Linearlight uses smaller, factory-assembled units configured in a linear series.
Modular Skylights offer a broader range of configurations (e.g., ridge, gable, wall-mounted) with larger module options and complex joining capabilities. - Target use case
Linearlight is often specified in smaller-scale commercial renovations or retrofits.
Modular Skylights are typically used in new builds or large-scale daylight design projects.
