Skylight installation — Brisbane and Gold Coast
Velux roof windows, fixed skylights and tubular skylights — with penetration flashing and waterproofing completed to a standard that protects your roof for decades.
Natural daylight, watertight for decades
Skylights transform dark interior spaces by introducing natural daylight directly through the roof plane. In SEQ’s climate, the right skylight also improves ventilation, reduces reliance on artificial lighting and can enhance thermal performance. Innovare Roofing installs Velux roof windows, fixed skylights and tubular skylights across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and SEQ.
A poorly flashed skylight is one of the most common sources of roof leaks in Queensland. We install with precision-engineered flashings appropriate to your roofing material — ensuring the product performs as designed in intense rainfall.
Roof windows to light tubes
Fixed Skylights
Non-opening, low-profile skylights for consistent daylight without ventilation — ideal for hallways, bathrooms and dark living areas.
Opening Roof Windows
Hinged or pivot-opening windows providing daylight and ventilation — available with electric operation and rain sensors.
Deck vs Curb Mounted
Deck-mounted units sit flush for a low-profile look; curb-mounted units suit low-pitch or flat-roof applications.
Flat-Roof Solutions
Dome-over-shaft systems and flat-glass roof windows engineered specifically for flat or near-flat roof applications.
Tubular Skylights
Sun tunnels capture daylight via a rooftop dome and deliver it through a reflective tube to a ceiling diffuser — for enclosed rooms.
Precision Flashing
Purpose-engineered flashing kits matched to your roofing material — metal flashings for Colorbond, tile flashings for tiled roofs.
The detail that keeps it watertight
Every skylight installation includes purpose-engineered flashing matched to your roofing material, plus glazing chosen for Queensland’s solar conditions.
- Metal-roof flashings — compatible flashings with correct overlap and sealant detailing.
- Tile flashings — directing water over surrounding tiles without creating a dam.
- Low-E glazing — laminated low-E glass that admits daylight while reducing heat gain.
- Minimal penetration — tubular skylights create small, easy-to-flash openings.
- Weathertight restoration — surrounding roof restored to a completely watertight finish.
- Velux warranties — manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Standard glass skylights without low-E or solar-control glazing can contribute significant solar heat gain, particularly on north- and west-facing roof planes. We recommend Velux products with appropriate glazing — including laminated low-E glass that admits daylight while reducing heat gain.
