Fitting a VELUX skylight to a kitchen, bathroom, loft conversion or extension can be a great way to bring in natural light, improve ventilation, and create a brighter and more open space. Here are the steps to consider when installing a VELUX skylight in a kitchen:
- Assess the placement: Determine the ideal location for the skylight. Consider factors such as the direction of sunlight, the position of cabinets or appliances that could obstruct the installation, and the structural integrity of the ceiling.
- At LN Glazing we can help choose the right skylight: Select a VELUX skylight model that suits your kitchen and your preferences. Consider factors such as size, shape, operation method (manual or electric), and any additional features like blinds or rain sensors. VELUX offers a variety of skylights designed specifically for kitchens, such as venting skylights that allow for improved airflow.
- At LN Glazing we measure and prepare the opening: We carefully measure and mark the opening for the skylight on your ceiling. We prepare the opening by removing any roofing materials, insulation, and drywall, ensuring a clean and even surface for installation.
- At LN Glazing we install the skylight: Typically, the skylight will need to be secured to the roof structure using appropriate screws or brackets. We ensure that the skylight is properly flashed and sealed to prevent any potential leaks.
- Finish the interior: Once the skylight is installed, we finish the interior portion. This may involve installing drywall, trim, or other decorative elements to seamlessly integrate the skylight into the kitchen’s design.
- Consider additional accessories: Such as various accessories for skylights, such as blinds or shades, to control the amount of light and privacy in your kitchen. These accessories can enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your skylight installation.
