Key Skylight Considerations

Blinds and dimmers are a cost effective solution for those times when you don’t need full day light.

Skylights are available in different styles and options. It’s a bit like buying a car, choosing which options are the most useful!

– Consider the following questions:

How big do i need? The roof structure is a factor in size selection.
What type of roof do I have?
How does the roof face to the East, North or West? – Peak performance could be in the morning or afternoon.
Does the roof face always the sun?
Is my roof flat or pitched?
Which skylight and suits my roof?
How big is the roof cavity? -For bigger roof spaces – Should I consider a premium SOLATUBE Daylighting System as a more effective option?
Do I require Ventilation? – You probably do!
Can I use an opening VELUX SKYLIGHT for strategic air changes?
Blinds and dimmers with motor operators are a cost effective solution if you don’t need full day light all day.
What is the room used for?

Skylights range in size, shape & technology, these factors affect performance.

The design and quality of materials has a major impact price.

Just had a Velux skylight installed in our kitchen area and thrilled with the end result. So much more light than we had from our previous skylight. Installation is absolutely perfect … More and amazing. Installer, Riley did a fantastic job finished off by the plasterer Carl.They were so patient and careful on their quality of work and could not recommend them more highly.Diamond Skylights were fantastic to deal with and so glad we went with them.

Delighted with our new solar tubes from Diamond Skylights - they have done wonders brightening up our dark dining room and kitchen. Really quick to turn around a quote after having … More someone out and great that they have the store so we could go in and look at the solar tubes and fittings and talk them through before making the decision. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The install was quick, efficient, clean and collaborative in terms of working out where they would go on the day to negotiate some obstacles in the roof cavity. Highly recommend!

Diamond Skylights was recommended to me by my daughter who had the company fit a skylight a few years ago and she was more than happy with the whole experience from beginning, quoting, … More to the end, plastering around the finished skylight. From my first contact the girls in the office I found the company very easy to deal with. Michael, the chap who came out to quote was knowledgeable and efficient, I required a Velux skylight for my family room and a solar tube for a hallway . The young men who arrived to put in the required skylights arrived on time, early morning, Riley who put in the solar tube, was done reasonably quickly and left to do other work. Jordan and his apprentice, Lachie put in the skylight and that was an all day job. At all times the chaps were respectful and polite and they tidied up when they had finished. Carl arrived early the next morning to plaster in around the roof space of the skylight. I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and would highly recommend this company

Everything about Diamond Skylights was outstanding. From the friendliness and efficiency of the office staff, to the assessment of my needs and recommendations made by Monique and Michael, … More to the efficiency of Serge in the installation of the skylights. What a difference they have made to my rooms. Definitely a saving in electricity costs as I no longer need to use lights during the day. Thanks gals and guys. I highly recommend your team.

Solatube designed their first solar tubes here in Australia and changed the skylight industry forever. They introduced the concept of tubular daylighting – using a highly mirror like tube which delivers natural light through the roof space into the home.

Velux Skylight

Velux brought a new approach to Australia, they are widely acknowledged as being the global standard for natural lighting.

VELUX Opening Skylights

Velux have a complete range of opening skylights and roof windows. You can choose from many different sizes with different control options and opening mechanisms.

VELUX incorporate enhanced functionality with better flashings, better ventilation controls and superior honeycomb blinds to control the light flowing through. VELUX’s continuous research and development of their products has resulted in the hi-tech VELUX Active automation we have today.

Skylights for Ventilation

Strategically controlled air flow is a real benefit to air quality.

Buildings which are designed to provide a healthy living environment, including Good Air Quality, often use opening skylights to improve their ventilation.

Some Opening skylights and roof windows can be positioned within reach, which means they can be opened by hand.

Opening Velux skylights are often motorised and operated remotely. The VELUX ACTIVE is an optional control that can be configured to adjust the skylight according to the temperature & humidity.

Solatube round skylights have the Add-On Vent option available. This superior exhaust system has a roof mounted fan and duct to discharge to the atmosphere. You can safely remove smells and moisture out of bathrooms at the flick of a switch.

Traditional Skylights

Budget friendly
Fabricated out of painted chipboard or plywood, or cheap aluminium foil
Poor quality roof flashings can be a source of water ingress & draughts.
Not recommended

Finally consider a traditional Australian skylight.

For over forty years these have been produced by local plastic moulding companies, using cheap thermoformed acrylic sheet on a galvanised sheet metal flashing base that sits above the roof line.

A square box called a light shaft, often fabricated out of painted chipboard or plywood, or cheap flexible aluminium foil, guides the daylight through the roof space. A prismatic diffuser conceals this and closes the ceiling.

Most skylight companies have standard sizes based on older imperial measurements. For example the modern size of 550×550 is equivalent to two foot square – shrunk slightly to suit a modern trussed roof.
