Wow. Excellent video showcasing a product that has been evolving for decades. The Balcony Skylight was an eye opener.

You asked great questions that were exactly the kind of things I would have wanted to know but struggled to find - thank you for this video. Great job.

I’ve installed many velux skylights over the years mostly deck mounted ones .

Well I live in humidity state Clearwater Florida and it rains every afternoon so I would definitely just buy the fixed because the others are way too much trouble.

If I am going on vacation and wish the windows to remain shut and locked in place until my return, how do I go about locking them.

Great information and 2 questions.
1. Can a skylight be diamond shaped with the ability to open the latch to prevent water build up?
2. Is it possible to put reflective tint on the glass for privacy?

where is your showroom located? city state?

[gypsymoontarotofficial]

What about Glass durability ie Snow load, tree branches etc.? Also are shocks that hold up window easily replacable?

[itsastckup]

Do you have to have vaulted ceilings to have the skylights shown in the video?

We have some non-opening deck mounted Velux skylights that were installed in 2005, and they have not held up well. We live in a cold climate, and when it gets below -10, there's condensation on the windows that drips down the next time things warm up. Also, the wood on the inside has not held up with the exposure to the sun. These are up very high in our house, and not easy to access.

Are the skylights they make today any better than the ones from 2005? Do they have any models that collect condensation water in a channel, so that it doesn't drip down the side of the opening? I have to be honest... The Velux skylights we have replaced the original skylights in the house. I thought they would be better and hold up, but they've been a disappointment.

Are there any other brands that are better for cold weather? Also, are there any models out there that can take exposure to the sun over the years and not have to continually be painted?
