Wider VELUX FS Skylights are also available; 780mm wide or 1140mm wide. It is a good idea to discuss your skylight requirements prior to fabrication of the roof trusses, for larger openings the FS M02 (780 x 780mm), FS M04 (780 x 980mm), FS M06 ( 780 x 1180mm) or FS M08 (780 x 1400mm) are great options.
Where possible these wider sizes should be used as wider skylight shafts are generally better performing and architecturally more appealing.
