Customer Reviews for VELUX 22-1/2 in. x 34-1/2 in. Fresh Air Venting Curb-Mount Skylight with Tempered LowE3 Glass

My son lives at A townhouse and the skylights were old & leaking. I ordered two of these skylights and the flashing kit also. I had a man that does roofing work on the side install it The skylights were heavy because these were big ones 46 x 46, but three guys got Them up The ladder. I am so glad that I did it as a DIY and not have to go thru a roofing company and pay a ton. It looks great, 100% improvement. We had a recent rain and no leaks. Very happy!

I just purchased four (4) Velux Skylights. 2 are Manual "Fresh Air" and 2 are fixed. My old "skylights" were literally the worst! The "glass" was not glass; instead it was simple cheap plastic ~1/8" thick with a despicable plastic bubble over them. They emitted a lot of heat in the summer whereas our A/C had a hard time keeping up. With these new skylights, the difference is simply crazy. Very little heat is transferred through the skylights. These are mounted in vaulted ceilings and using the manual opening isn't difficult at all. On top of the purchase of the Velux Skylights, we also purchased the solar powered remote controlled light filtering blinds. These blinds look great in the windows; a "perfect" fit! This adds the convenience of darkening our rooms when we want and especially when it's the weekends and we get a chance to sleep in. Awaiting the delivery of the wireless gateway so all of these skylights can be controlled from the Velux Active App. Highly recommend these windows and accessories. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful product with easy installation.

replaced an old skylight with this solar one. great addition. easy install.

I had two of these installed by a Velux contractor. In year five--last year--one leaked above the LR. Velux sent out the same installer, who blamed the fire prinkler system---which is not even near the skylights, and was found in perfect condition by my insurance adjuster! Despite the ten-year warranty, and it being only year 5, Velux refuses to fix it! Lots of complaints on BBB re this. I guess they'll next blame aliens! I'll be suing them when the rain stops.

We got a new roof last summer and purchased a roof window that opens manually. It has been working great! We love the design and ease with opening and closing the window. Velux makes great windows, highly recommended.

Quiet replacement for a cracked dome skylight. Easy install. Good price and appartent quality.

Installation has just been completed. The new skylights add so much more light and, now, also much-needed ventilation into the rooms. They open easily. The look is clean, crisp and contemporary. Very nice!

This Skylight is perfect for the room we put it over. Easy to install and doesn’t leak.

I just bought them and installed. That’s the best investment bought rooms( kitchen and sunny room) are very bright and when you open skylights a lot of fresh air and quick ventilation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had three of these for 10 years with no problems or leaks. Just installed two more with flashing kt, installed and then tons of rain for a week and not a drop of water inside. Also purchased the blinds for these and I;ve mever been so impressed (50 years in the construction business). They fit in perfectly, run with a solar powered motor and a wall remote, the fit was perfect with no issues and they work flawlessly. I would not purchase any other manufacturer.

This skylight makes the room! It really does. Only complaint is the separate flashing kit that is needed to install and isn’t included. And it’s $115. Meaning this window costs $365 overall, not $250. So that part was disappointing - but in no way regretting the window - Fantastic light sourch and outlook.

Replaced old skylights. Had Velux products before so had great experience with the band. New skylights look amazing. They’re bright & give the room an airy feel. Easy to open. Satisfied customer!

Installed my skylight 10 years ago and no need for maintenance. Till this day no leaks. Absolutely beautiful addition for my dining area. I definitely recommend it. The only thing I regret was not getting the ones with built in shades. But I added powered shades with remote control and solar panels for the batteries.

Velux say lifetime warranty. Not true. I have 5 20 yr old skylights velux. All but on started to leak. Pro installer, no issue with anything but the garbage skylights. I do not recommend velux. Stay away. Second set in my lifetime. Leaking again. 20 yr max.

Had to replace four 30+ year old Velux skylights due to hail damage- two manual operation and two fixed. Love the new clean white interior appearance of the skylights, and ease of operation of the operable units. Looking forward to many more years of Velux bringing us natural light and fresh air!

I have a sunroom that had 3 very, very old skylights, which were starting to leak. My roof installer put in Velux Fresh Air Skylights as replacements. The glass is so clear, and they look lovely from inside and out. My only qualm is that the screens have a bit of a gap on each side, and I'm afraid little bugs will gain entry. Other than that, they're great!

Of course I meant to check each skylight before installation, but it's easy to get behind when you're getting a new roof and managing an entire upstairs renovation. 3 of the skylights were perfect, but the fourth was the worst caulking job I've ever seen- black caulk smeared across the skylight. I have no idea how this got past quality control, so I'm left assuming that there is no quality control. I've cleaned it up as best I can but it still sucks.

We had these skylights installed to replace very old ones. We chose hand operated ones and, while they work fine, wish Velux had used a crank rather that a turning screw to open and close the skylight. We also chose the solar-powered shade and are very pleased. The reason I gave it a 4 is because of the "screw."

Love these two skylights! Vents the cooking moisture and heat out of the kitchen. Brings in fresh air without the bugs. I added diffuser and grid support made from fluorescent lighting plastic. Pure sunlight was too harsh.

Purchased this and installed today. Great quality and easy to install.

Fits like a glove.

The skylight fits like a glove on the flashing. Well designed and engineered, NO hassle with alignment or fitting, not often you'll find that the flashing kits fits exact with the skylight. I bought the 22 1/2 x 34 1/2, my review doesn't seem to go under the size of window I bought, anyways, great buy. I'm not a contractor, just a handy DIY guy. Thanks.

Six trouble-free years with our Velux manual fresh air skylights, and we look forward to many more! I love being able to look up at the trees and sky. Great to quickly cool down the house in the evenings, too.

Very satisfied with the product. Easy to install with the pamphlet guide and video. This is the product with no leak.

Just tested the hook.When I started to turn it by the rod, then it broke into 3 pieces right away. The hook is made by plastic which can not bear the twisting. Now I need to climb a ladder and use my hand to twist the hook manually every time I want to open the sky window.

We had 2 cracked dome plastic skylights that were over 25 years old. Now buying the domed type costs more than the flat glass, so we ended up buying 4 to make them all match. These VELUX Fixed Curb-Mount Skylights fit perfectly over our existing curbs! Installation was super easy. The flat profile looks so much better from the outside. And the clear glass really brightens the room!

My roofer ordered a manual fresh air skylight, there are several things that let us down. The only hand crank is designed to be used with a pole. Our light is at standing height and opening the light with the small crank attachment (only one included) is daunting and undesirable. The wall mount worked out of the box but when I tried to hook up the included wifi connection with the instructions on the directed app the switch no longer works. Very disappointed!! The window is stuck in the down position.
