Description

The VSS is the ultimate skylight that provides abundant daylight and controllable ventilation. Operated by a Radio Frequency wall-mounted keypad (included) and is powered by a concealed battery pack that is recharged by the external solar panel – allowing operation even when the sun isn’t out.

• Electrician not required to install.

• White painted interior timber frame and sash.

• Smooth profile sits lower in the roof, does not obstruct the roofline.

• Available in 10 sizes.

• Rain sensor automatically closes the skylight when rain is detected.

• High Performance double glazing, with NEAT™ outer coating: reduces cleaning frequency.

• Includes removable insect screen.

CodeMark is a voluntary certification scheme owned by the Commonwealth of Australia that provides legally binding evidence of compliance to the National Construction Code of Australia. One certificate replaces dozens of technical papers.

* For roofs below 15° pitch, VSS/VSE skylights need to be raised to 15° and custom flashed. VELUX can assist with technical advice and drawings. (NB: build-up not recommended in Bushfire areas.)

** VELUX recommends VCS is installed with a slight pitch (e.g. 3°-5°) to help reduce condensation build-up and water ponding on the glass.
