Light enters our homes primarily through windows and doors. But light from above, through venting skylights, continues to gain favor when architects, designers, builders, remodelers, and homeowners consider effective and efficient sources of natural light and passive ventilation.
And since the introduction of the No Leak Skylight from VELUX, the number one concern about skylights – the perception of leaks – is becoming a non-issue.
The VELUX No Leak Skylight is part of a redesigned product line with major upgrades including advanced energy efficient glass and added protection against water penetration. A no leak product warranty is included, as is an industry-first installation warranty for deck mounted skylights.
The No Leak Skylight carries a 10-year installation warranty plus 20 years on glass, 10 years on product, and five years on blinds and controls. Features include three layers of water protection – advanced LoE3 glass for better energy efficiency, higher visible light transmittance, better daylighting, and improved solar heat gain performance – money-saving pre-finished white frames and sashes – pre-mounted brackets for quick installation of blinds or shades – a lower roof profile with an updated curved architectural design – and a neutral gray color to blend with most roof materials and colors.
Timothy B. Miller, president of VELUX America, says that VELUX has always warranted its skylights against leaking. "But the newly designed deck mounted skylights feature three layers of water protection, including a new gasket that seals to the roof deck. This, combined with our installation materials and methods, and the installation warranty, which applies even if we don't install the unit, gives specifiers, installers and homeowners complete confidence," he says.
VELUX is an ENERGY STAR partner and has been recognized as a Partner of the Year. "This recognition of the energy efficient and green qualities of earlier company products, and of the VELUX commitment to quality manufacturing and sustainability, has been strengthened with the new line of products, which are designed to meet existing and future ENERGY STAR guidelines," Miller says. VELUX also manufactures ENERGY STAR qualified solar water heating systems. Visit veluxusa.com or call 1-800-283-2831.
