The number of skylights depends on your building's size, roof orientation, and usage. A general rule is one skylight per 100-150 square feet of floor space, but we customize this based on your specific needs. During our free site assessment, we evaluate your facility and recommend an optimal skylight layout.

Will commercial skylights leak?

When properly installed by certified professionals, VELUX commercial skylights are extremely reliable and leak-free. We use proper flashing systems, structural support, and follow manufacturer specifications to ensure waterproof installation. Our installations are backed by both our workmanship guarantee and VELUX's manufacturer warranty.

Can skylights be installed on any commercial roof?

Skylights can be installed on virtually any roof type — flat, low-slope, pitched, metal, or membrane. Flat and low-slope roofs use curb-mounted skylights, while pitched roofs use deck-mounted models. During our site assessment, we evaluate your roof structure and recommend the best solution.

VELUX commercial skylights are built to last 25-30+ years with proper installation and maintenance. VELUX provides a 10-year warranty on product and installation when installed by a certified installer. We also offer maintenance and repair services to extend skylight lifespan.

Can skylights be automated?

Yes! We install motorized skylights with automated controls, rain sensors, and timers. These systems can open and close based on temperature, humidity, or time of day — providing optimal ventilation and climate control without manual operation.

What are the energy savings from commercial skylights?

Energy savings vary by facility, but commercial buildings typically see 20-40% reduction in daytime lighting costs and 10-25% reduction in HVAC costs. For a 50,000 sq ft warehouse, this can mean $20,000-$40,000 in annual savings. We provide detailed energy analysis during your consultation.
