Explore skylight types and function
Choose the right function to achieve your lighting and ventilation goals.
Fixed glass skylights
Maximum light, minimal profile
Perfect for brightening dark hallways, kitchens, and living areas where ventilation isn't required. These units maximise natural light and offer the cleanest aesthetic, often appearing frameless from the interior.
Best for:
- Living areas
- Hallways
- Kitchens
- Maximising natural light
Aesthetic appeal:
- Seamless
- Low profile
- Modern look
Venting and operable skylights
Natural light and fresh air
Venting units are essential for kitchens, bathrooms, and high ceilings to combat heat buildup and eliminate moisture. Open them to release hot, stagnant air and create passive cooling.
Manual opening:
- Opened with a winder or rod
- Ideal for lower ceilings
Electric opening:
- Operated by a wall switch or remote control
- Best for out-of-reach ceilings
Solar powered:
- Features a self-contained solar panel and battery
- Eligible for government rebates
- Includes an automatic rain sensor
Tubular and specialty skylights
Light for small or unique spaces where a full skylight isn't feasible, or for large architectural features.
Tubular Skylights (Sun Tunnels): Use a highly reflective tube to pipe daylight into small, dark interior spaces best for:
- Laundries
- Pantries
- Closets
- Small bathrooms
Custom Structural Glazing: Our expertise extends to large, multi-panel roof systems best for:
- Pergolas
- Atriums
- Custom sunrooms
Premium glazing and technology
The quality of the glass is critical for comfort, efficiency, and safety. We only use high-performance materials built for the Australian climate.
Double glazing
Standard across all our units. Dramatically reduces heat loss in winter and minimises heat transfer into your home during summer.
Low-E (Low Emissivity) coating
A microscopically thin coating that reflects UV and infrared rays. This prevents your furniture and floors from fading while significantly improving temperature control.
Laminated safety glass
Essential for overhead protection. If the glass breaks, it holds together (like a car windshield), preventing dangerous shards from falling into your home.
Integrated blinds and shading
Control the intensity of light with manual or electric block-out blinds. Essential for bedrooms or rooms requiring light control.
