I’ve never been one to be on “trend” with fashion. That’s not saying I don’t like nice clothes; I just don’t think all outfits “work” all the time. For example, big baggy jeans and an oversized sweatshirt to me are fine for an outdoor sporting event but not fine dining like Angus Barn!

Skylight sizing is very similar. VELUX offers twenty-eight standard sized Deck Mounted and Curb Mounted Skylights. Plus, custom sized units can be manufactured to specification on curb units measuring up to 50 ¾ inches wide and 76 ½ inches long. With all those options, homeowners can be assured it is possible for your roofer and or contractor provide the “right” sized unit on your home!

Unfortunately, that’s not the case with a lot of projects and the trend seems to be getting worse. Sun4Light, Inc. Offers VELUX service and warranty solutions from Mebane to the NC Coast. If a homeowner has a problem. We evaluate the issue and determine the remedy regardless of who installs unit(s). Within the last two years, more and more roofing contractors are opting to install skylights larger than the existing openings on replacement projects. Not only does VELUX provide product and installation manuals online, but all suppliers (big box stores, building/roofing businesses) have copies of the VELUX product booklets on-hand for reference.

Why does it matter? Let’s consider the old skylight measures 34×34 inches and the only unit the roofer can find measures 46 x 46 inches. The roofer in turn builds a new curb ten inches larger than the old one and installs the new larger skylight. Unfortunately, the new unit was not installed tightly to the 34 x 34-inch curb resulting in an unseen gap on the roof. As the hot air from the gap hits the cold conditioned air in the light shaft, condensation and or mold forms.

The responsibility of selecting the correctly sized skylight is the responsibility of the contractor. Workmanship errors are not covered by the VELUX 10-Year No Leak Warranties.

Installing wrongly sized skylights out of convenience is like wearing old jeans and sweatshirts. Because it is easy!

If you grew-up in the south, chances are your grandmother made a dreamy chocolate layered cake for holiday celebrations. While most everyone loves chocolate cake, this layered cake was far from ordinary. The ooey gooey chocolate icing sandwiched between at least seven layers of sweet yellow cake melted in your mouth! Leaving each taste engrained in your mind and mouth!

My daddy has always loved that layered chocolate cake. Unfortunately, it is rarely served these days because quite frankly it is time-consuming and simply a labor of love! We are not the folks to pour cake batter into a one-layer sheet pan and top it with chocolate cake icing. But we are the folks deeply rooted in good old hard work, knowledge, and skills. The basis of our company is as strong as the more than 75 years VELUX has been in business!

In 2005, my parents gifted our son a brand-new candy apple red Ford Ranger for his sixteenth birthday! My dad, being a GMC guy, struggled with the purchase of a Ford. But alas, he would do anything to buy exactly what his first grandson wanted! That chromed-out bright red little truck could be heard a mile away with its bumping radio system! It traveled many miles: from dates in high school, to weekend beach trips, visits home from college, to carting the boat to the lake. Oh, the memories that were made in that truck!

Not every sixteen-year-old gets a brand-new vehicle. But my parents wanted to provide our son with a reliable, dependable, source of transportation. Man, they made a good choice. Over the years, the truck needed very little maintenance; just oil / break changes and several sets of tires. Without a doubt, that little red truck lived a good life!

The VELUX lines of skylights, Sun Tunnels, and roof windows are much like the Ford brand of trucks. As the largest manufacturer of skylights in the world, VELUX is committed to providing the best quality products in the industry and we at Sun4Light, Inc. are proud to partner with them as the exclusive VELUX Dealer-Installer in the market.

Our entire team works hard to ensure the product line receives the best kudos possible and can only do so since we know the decision makers personally! We are delighted to call the VELUX USA President and Director of Product Design friends and former customers! These folks listen to our product improvement recommendations and honestly feel our struggles as business owners. They, like us, believe quality and great customer service are vital.

Our son aged-out of the small Red Ranger and moved onto a Red Ford F150 when more kids entered the picture, and the boats became bigger. In the end, staying true to the dedication of the product line. Regardless of the other skylight / Solatube makers in the world, one thing for sure, Sun4Light,Inc. Remains loyal to VELUX, USA.
