VELUX Pitched Roof Manual Skylight (VS)
The VELUX Pitched Roof Manual Skylight (VS) is a versatile daylight and ventilation solution designed for pitched roof applications where natural airflow and abundant daylight are essential. With its clean aesthetic and reliable manual operation, the VS is widely used in contemporary residential projects to enhance indoor comfort and improve the quality of living spaces.
The manual opening mechanism allows users to introduce fresh air at ceiling level, supporting passive ventilation strategies and reducing reliance on mechanical cooling systems. This makes the VS particularly effective in kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and upper‑storey spaces where improved airflow is desired. The skylight’s smooth, ergonomic operation ensures ease of use, even in elevated or hard‑to‑reach locations when paired with an extension rod.High‑performance glazing provides excellent thermal insulation, solar heat control, and UV protection, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year.
The laminated inner pane enhances safety, while the toughened outer pane offers durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. The timber frame, protected by exterior aluminium cladding, ensures long‑lasting performance with minimal maintenance.Architects value the VS for its simplicity, reliability, and compatibility with a wide range of pitched roof designs.
Suitable for roof pitches between 15 and 90 degrees, the skylight integrates seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary roof forms. When installed with the appropriate VELUX flashing kit, the VS provides a secure, watertight solution that performs reliably in Australian climatic conditions.
