Velux Skylights & Skytube™ Options

A roof-mounted skylight is the perfect way to light up the interior of your home during the day, and also allows you to enjoy the beauty of the stars at night. Fiderio & Sons installs several models of Velux skylights, including curb-mount and flush-mount styles, depending on what is right for your home. Optional features include remote open/close controls, and energy-efficient glass.

If your home does not have space for a traditional skylight due to your roof style or flat ceiling, Fiderio & Sons can install an innovative Velux Skytube™. A Skytube™ captures sunlight with a smaller dome, then transmits it deep into your home through a patented tube. This alternative to a traditional skylight is perfect for bringing natural light to hard-to-reach places like hallways, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Our certified skylight installers can ensure that your new Skytube™ will last for many years to come.

Benefits of Installing Skylights in New Haven County, CT

With the variety of design options and styles that are available to homeowners these days, what makes a skylight stand out? Quite a bit, in fact. Installing a skylight or series of skylights in your Connecticut home can provide:

  • An abundance of natural light. Due to the flexibility and positioning of a skylight, just one can outperform a window by miles. That means more gorgeous, glowing sunlight in your home.
  • Improved home comfort. Direct sunlight naturally warms rooms, which can be a substantial boon during our colder New England winter months.
  • Reduction in energy waste. More clean sunlight means fewer fluorescent and incandescent bulbs going during the day, meaning less energy used, wasted, and paid for!
  • Potential health benefits. Natural light has been shown to boost mood, reduce fatigue, and to help with the symptoms of depression. You can’t be outside all of the time, but a skylight can easily and attractively bring the outdoors to you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skylight Installation

  • Can I install skylights without replacing my roof? Absolutely. It’s a good question, since installing a skylight in your Meriden home does include cutting the roof. However, in the hands of a professional, an installation can be done easily. It is worth mentioning, though, that installing a skylight as a part of a new roof replacement is simpler and can be more cost-efficient.
  • Will skylights make my roof weaker? They will not. Modern skylight flashing materials and seals have come a very long way, and nowadays, skylights are extremely structurally sound and well-sealed against air leaks.
  • Can I keep my skylights when I replace my roof? We don’t recommend it. Pulling out a skylight and attempting to reinstall it in a new roof can, and almost certainly will, weaken the flashing, and the seal will be nearly impossible to reapply correctly. If you replace the roof, replace the skylights, too!
