Product Description

VELUX VCS solar powered "Fresh Air" skylights light up your home and provide ventilation using only the power of the sun. They feature a solar panel that captures any available daylight and uses it to recharge a highly efficient battery powered operator and control system. The solar panel does not have to be exposed to direct sunlight to function, so it will work on cloudy days and with indirect light. The skylight can be opened to create a chimney effect, drawing air upward to improve air quality within your home. In addition, this model includes a factory-installed solar powered room darkening blind that utilizes a double-pleated honeycomb structure with an interior aluminum coating to block even the brightest sunlight, making it ideal for bedrooms, entertainment rooms or any other space where light control is important. VCS skylights are ideal for replacing existing curb mount skylights, including old plastic bubble skylights. They can be installed on a flat roof at 0° up to a 60° roof pitch on a site-built curb.

• VELUX solar powered "Fresh Air" skylights are eligible for a federal tax credit on both product and installation costs, making them very affordable
• VCS 2246 models are designed to fit a site-built curb (not included) with outside dimensions 25.5-in width x 49.5-in length
• Consists of double paned argon gas filled LowE3 glass that provides excellent energy performance for year round comfort, plus the added safety of laminated glass, which building codes require for out of reach applications
• An integrated rain sensor will close the skylight automatically, in case of inclement weather
• Factory-installed blind color: white
• Order VELUX ECL 2246 flashing if you have a shingle, shake, or slate roof, or VELUX ECW 2246 flashing if you have a tile roof
• Qualifies for a 10-year "No Leak" installation warranty when installed with ECL flashing on a shingle roof with a pitch between 10° and 60° or ECW flashing on a tile roof with a pitch between 14° and 60° (flashing kits are sold separately)
• Features Clean, Quiet and Safe LowE3 laminated glass with a Neat® glass coating that keeps your skylight cleaner, reduces unwanted outside noise, and comes with a 10-year hail warranty against glass breakage
