It brings in abundant natural light and with the touch of a button, opens to let in fresh air. And if you forget to close it, the VCE also closes automatically in case of rain.
Electrical components
The VCE skylight comes with a pre-installed concealed motor and control system.
One rain sensor that automatically closes your skylight during inclement weather is also included.
Review: Velux's curb-mounted skylight was introduced in 2003 and we were glad to see it. This series of skylights is perfect as a replacement skylight for old domed skylights. Many builders installed inexpensive dome skylights in houses over the years, that, unfortunately have a short life-span and poor energy performance. These Velux high-efficiency lowE3 glass skylights, give us the opportunity to give our clients a very long-lasting, energy efficient solution that changes how comfortable their living space can be. The reduction in summer heat gain is so dramatic that we've had many clients tell us that "Now the A/C works upstairs !"
The sizing matches up very well to the old skylights and usually only requires minor adjustments at the top of the light shaft, for the new skylight installation. Curb-mount skylights stand a little bit taller than deck-mount skylights (about 1 3/4").
