Designed to provide daylight and fresh air through the roof, our Modular Skylights help create healthy, comfortable and productive indoor spaces. Complete pre-engineered modular design system with optional blinds. It is easy to specify, predictable and fast to install and time efficient through the entire building project.
Modular Skylights can be combined in a number of rooflight configurations, creating perfect solutions for a wide variety of building types: narrow corridors, internal courts, studios, large circulation spaces and much more. Each roof glazing solution is delivered with a special prefabricated flashing ensuring a perfect fit.
The versatile skylight system allows you to create a range of different designs for a variety of commercial buildings such as shopping malls, offices, cultural buildings, public spaces and healthcare buildings.
All Modular Skylight configurations are based on the same single module and the same basic installation process. You don’t need to specify different modules for different solutions.
Modular Skylights are available in a wide range of standard sizes and functionalities.
They require the following minimum and maximum measurements:
Modular Skylight system is a turnkey solution comprising prefabricated skylight modules with dedicated claddings, flashings and vapour barrier connection strip to allow for design of watertight rooflight and glass roof structures.
Comfort ventilation is possible via an integrated chain actuator that can be controlled with VELUX io-homecontrol system or with your preferred building management system. Smoke ventilation can only be controlled with your preferred building management system.
For optimal daylight and heat control consider internal roller blinds that can be pre-mounted from the factory.
Modular Skylights come with standard low-energy double or triple glazing with the following features:
The Modular Skylight profiles (sash and frame) are made of pultruded fiberglass (80%) and polyurethane composite (20%). The composite material provides high insulation performance and thermal stability as well as excellent profile stiffness and bending strength.
Due to the concept of prefabrication, we are able to test our products extensively against all thinkable hazards and stressful events. Tests are performed in controlled environments in accordance with harmonized standards for both Windows and doors and for Smoke and Heat control systems.
Modular Skylights are prefabricated and modular to give architects and specifiers design flexibility, enabling the creation of daylighting solutions that suit any commercial requirements. But what do the components look like and how do they work together?
Our interactive product cut sample is a fully rendered and 3D model. These features allow you to examine the shape and design of the Modular Skylight in greater detail than is possible with photography. Our model allows you to view the product from every direction and zoom in and out to view it up close. Try it below.
"Everything fits, if it doesn’t, you have mounted it wrong. You just click on the cladding and flashing, there is no need for screws. This means that we can close the roof quickly so that everybody can get on with the indoor works."
The sub-construction raises the modules above the roof surface, protecting the structure against water and drifting snow. The sub-construction provides the supporting base for the modular skylights. The skylight modules require an accurately dimensioned sub-construction, which can carry the module installation system.
The load-bearing capacity of the sub-construction needs to be calculated for each individual project based on the building design and application.
The sub-construction is not part of the prefabricated modular system, and the VELUX Group does not take responsibility for the sub-construction.
