Products details

  • In short
    Ridgelight 25-40° is a classic rooflight solution, where two rows of modular skylights are connected at the ridge. The dual pitched Ridgelight solution is ideal for buildings with large roof openings.

    Ridgelight 25-40° with vented skylight modules on both sides is an optimal solution for buildings that require day or night cooling.

    The Ridgelights can be supplied with different types of glazing on each side to control heat and glare according to the orientation of the building.

    VELUX modular skylights are delivered with a 10-year guarantee on modules and flashings.

    VELUX skylight specialists offer support throughout design, specification and installation, including design of the sub-construction needed for installation. Please note that sub-constructions are not included in the VELUX delivery.

  • Details

    VELUX 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 INTEGRA® 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.

    Pre-fabricated VELUX modular skylights come with low energy glazing units to achieve low overall U-value

    In combination with low energy glazing units, the modular skyligths are able to achieve one of the lowest overall U-values for frame and glazing assembly in the skylight market (Uw values down to 0.86 W(m2/K)).  

  • Additional solutions

    Create a rooflight solution to match your design

    By adapting the interior lining, modular Ridgelights 25-40° can be used in non-square designs, e.g. obtuse angles, acute angles or ovals. By using adapted linings, the modular skylights meet the demands of modern architecture featuring irregular or curved shapes.

    Create an asymmetrical solution

    Modules of different heights can be combined to form an asymmetrical Ridgelight solution that bridges roof sections of different height and slope. Using glazing with different characteristics on each side of the Ridgelight help maximize daylight and minimize heat intake.
