## What Makes a Velux Install “Certified”

Velux publishes detailed installation instructions for every model and roof type: how to frame the opening, where the underlayment collar goes, which flashing kit to use and how each piece laps. A certified installer is trained on those protocols and follows them every time.

That matters for two reasons. First, the skylight performs the way it was designed. Second, if something ever goes wrong with the product, there is no argument about whether it was installed correctly. We have held Velux Certified Installer status since 2004.

## The 8 Velux Models Toronto Homeowners Choose Most

1.  **Velux FS** fixed deck-mount, the everyday workhorse.
2.  **Velux FCM** fixed curb-mount for low-slope roofs and retrofits.
3.  **Velux VS** manual venting with a rod or crank.
4.  **Velux VCS** electric venting with keypad, hardwired under ESA permit.
5.  **Velux VSS** solar venting with remote and rain sensor.
6.  **Velux FSR / solar fixed variants** for remote-controlled blinds on fixed units.
7.  **Velux TGR** rigid sun tunnel for interior rooms.
8.  **Velux Modular Skylights** for larger architectural openings.

## Our Velux Expertise

We know Velux size codes, which sizes fit 16-inch rafters versus 24-inch trusses, and the small model differences that trip up general contractors. We also handle warranty registration, so you are not hunting for paperwork later.

## What Actually Stops Homeowners From Booking a Velux Install

### “I’m not sure Velux is worth it.”

In our opinion, for most Toronto homes it is, because of the factory flashing kits and glass quality. We will show you the Fakro alternative too if it fits better.

### “Solar won’t work in winter.”

The VSS battery holds charge through short winter days.

### “Electric means rewiring my ceiling.”

Not with the solar VSS. Electric VCS needs wiring and an ESA permit, which we handle.

### “Warranty claims are a pain.”

We register it at handover and keep records.

## Velux Install Timeline

### Consultation

Model, size code and kit selected.

### Ordering

One to two weeks through our dealer account.

Straight Answers

## Velux Installation FAQ: 12 Questions Toronto Clients Ask

### How much does Velux skylight installation cost in Toronto?

Velux FS fixed units run $2,800 to $3,500 CAD installed, VS manual venting $3,200 to $4,500, VCS electric $4,200 to $6,500 and VSS solar $4,500 to $7,500. Price includes the flashing kit and shaft.

### What are the 8 most popular Velux models?

FS fixed, FCM curb-mount fixed, VS manual venting, VCS electric venting, VSS solar venting, FSR and solar-powered fixed variants, TGR sun tunnel and the Velux Modular Skylight system for larger openings.

### Why does the flashing kit matter?

Velux designs each kit for a roof profile. Using EDL on tile or EDW on thin shingles leaves gaps. The right kit plus the underlayment collar is what keeps the warranty valid.

### Do Velux solar skylights need an electrician?

No. The VSS is powered by its own solar panel and battery, so no wiring through the ceiling. Electric VCS units do need wiring and an ESA permit.

### Will a Velux fit between my trusses?

Many Velux sizes, like the C06 and M04, are designed for 24-inch truss spacing. We measure and confirm.

### How long does a Velux install take?

One day for most single units including flashing and shaft framing.

### Is the Velux warranty different with a certified installer?

The warranty terms are Velux's, but installation to their protocol by a certified installer avoids disputes and we register it for you.

### Can Velux skylights connect to smart home systems?

Yes. Velux Active with sensors can open and close skylights automatically based on indoor climate, and works with common smart home platforms.

### Which Velux is best for a bedroom?

VSS solar with a solar blackout blind, so you control light and air from bed.

### Do you install Velux on flat roofs?

Yes, using Velux flat roof models such as CFP and CVP on a raised curb.

### Can I add blinds later?

Yes. Velux blinds fit by size code and can be added any time.

### What warranty do I get?

Velux factory warranty (10 years on the product, up to 20 on glass) plus our lifetime leak-free warranty on install flashing.

Still have a question?
