VELUX Fixed Deck Mount Skylight - White Solar Powered Shade

Installing a skylight is one of the most impactful ways to enhance the brightness and beauty of a room, and fixed skylights are an economical choice for bringing in natural light from above. Deck mount skylights mount directly on the roof deck over a rough opening, work with a wide variety of roofing materials, and their streamlined exterior profile won't obstruct your roofline.

The room darkening shade utilizes a double-pleated honeycomb structure with an interior aluminum coating to block even the brightest sunlight, making it ideal for bedrooms, entertainment rooms or any other space where light control is important. By helping prevent thermal heat gain, skylight shades can improve the energy efficiency of your skylights by up to 40% compared to skylights without shades.

Key Features:

• Consists of a wood frame, insulated glass, maintenance-free aluminum exterior cladding, and deck seal mounting flange
