Curb vs. Deck Mount

Deck mounted skylights are attached directly to the roof sheathing and attaches to the drywall that sits below. These are typically installed in slightly sloped roof pitch situations so the water will run around the skylight and not into the building. For a deck mounted skylight, the minimum pitch is 3:12 / 14 degrees or greater.


Curb mounted skylights sit on a 2x4 or 2x6 curb or raised frame when the roof pitch is lower or flat. The curb itself will channel water away from the skylight keeping the space below dry. The roof pitch for a curb mounted skylight is is 0:12 / 0 degrees to 20:12 / 60 degrees.

Custom Skylights

Custom sizes for residential skylights are available for curb mounted fixed skylights (FCM) and deck mounted fixed skylights (VCM).

Custom-sized commercial units may also be available depending on the size and glass.

Please calls us at 888-866-1149 to get a quote for a custom-sized skylight.

Model & Serial Numbers

Every VELUX skylight and roof window features a data plate mounted on the frame. This dataplate contains the product serial number, which tells the skylight model, glass type and date of manufacture.
When ordering accessories for existing products or requesting product servicing, you should locate this number prior to contacting us. Doing so will help us provide you with the best service possible.
Tip: For the FS the plate is located at the bottom left frame, VS/VSE is at the bottom left sash. For QPF, FCM, VCM and VCE the information is stamped into the side of the exterior covers.

Fixed Skylights

A fixed skylight can also be referred to as a non-venting skylight. The glass is stationary and does not open or close. In comparison, a venting skylight - manual, electric, or solar powered - will open to allow fresh air to enter and humidity to escape. View a full list of our fixed skylights for more details.

Flashing Kits

Flashing kits/systems are designed to shed water without relying on sealants that can break down over time. Boiled down: it's what keeps the rain out! View our flashing systems section for more details.

Glass Type Selections

Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheets with one or more interlayers of plastic (PVB) or resin. In case of breakage, the interlayer is designed to hold the fragments together. Tempered glass does not contain an interlayer to hold the fragments together. Instead, tempered glass is designed to break into small, pebble-like pieces. When tempered glass breaks, pieces of glass come loose and may strike an individual.
