Response from Velux USA TeamOct 23, 2023
Hello, Cristobal, I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience after the Home Depot store didn't notify you that the order was ready for pickup. Regarding the size of the skylight, the FCM 4646 skylight fits a 49-1/2" x 49-1/2" outside curb with a 46-1/2" x 46-1/2" inside curb. I hope you will give us a call so we can go over the dimensions of the skylight needed for your application because I confirmed with our warehouse that the product returned to us matched the product ordered. The phone number for VELUX Customer Service is 800-888-3589. Thank you. veluxusa

What a difference!
We changed out our fixed skylights for the solar powered w/ solar powered shades. We can now control how much light gets in, but also open them for extra ventilation.

    Super quiet!!
    I’ve had these skylights for two weeks now, and love them! Super quiet and extremely nice to look at. My only misgiving is that the cold weather is now here, so I won’t be able to use them as much.

      Super convenient Skylight
      My roofer installed the Velux Integra KLI 310/311/312 (solar-operated) in both our master bathroom and great room. It makes the rooms so beautiful. We can easily open or close the shade. We love it.

        Love the skylights!
        Installed the skylights last month and we are thoroughly enjoying them. They operate smoothly, and the rain detector worked great when tested and then later when a rainstorm came, closing the windows automatically.

          Wrong size was sent. Installer said he could make it work but understandably I was not that happy.

          We are sorry to hear about your experience and the wrong size being received. Curb mounted skylights are measured by the "outside curb" dimension. Generally the outside curb is 3" inches larger than the rough opening. Construction is usually made up of 2x4s on edge. The actual skylight will be made 1" inch larger than the outside curb. VELUX makes special sizes when the outside curb does not match the stocked sizes offered. VELUX can be reached direct at 800-888-3589 for further discussion. veluxusa

          VCM hook problem
          System was installed by roofers who struggled with the installation of operator hook. After 2-3 attempts to 'shove it in the hole', they departed. No instructions are provided! or what testing should be included! Thus, when I tried to use the VCM, the hook fell out of the hole. Fortunately, it fell to the floor and not into my face or eye. However, now I am in the kitchen of the house and the skylight operator hook-hole is twelve feet above me. I spoke to customer service, it was of little value. Thus, I am left with the need to beg the installer to return or head to Home Depot to buy a ladder. Ridiculous!

          Thank you for your constructive comments we apologize for your experience thus far. I know you've spoken with Customer Service already; however, please call 800-888-3589 and speak to Tech and or Consumer Support. In the interim you might try separating the shaft from the hook by releasing the set screw, and tapping the shaft in. Once locked reapply the operating hook. Thank you again. veluxusa

            I have been requested on several occasions to rate this skylight. While I am hoping that it will be great, it did come with one small dent and I had to order it twice in order to finally receive my order. Also, I have not yet been able to have it installed. Therefore, I can not yet rate how it will work for my application. This is not an order that you receive, plug in and go, it does take someone with knowledge of roofing to install and that doesn't happen over night.

            Looks great!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They do look nice. The movement is a little slow during venting. I am impressed with how quiet they are. I am not a big fan of the remote(s), and the other options available.

              Bought this to replace a 26 year old Velux skylight that had foggy glass. Couldn't find anyone that would just replace the glass for less than $750. Had to modify the outside of the curb since this one is 3" longer and wider. Saved $500.

              Great product, room darkening shades are great as well as the remote solar blind remote.

                The sky lights were beautiful and heavy , making them seal great on the roof opening curb. Their dual Pane glass lets all the light in I needed plus insulated for cold and warmth

                just Awesome! Buy them you will not regret it
                Bought these for my beach house. Best change have ever made! The light and Control are awesome. I need to purchase a controller, but works well enough and is easy to use. The rain sensor kicks butt too!
