Our team can walk you through the variety of styles and sizes that fit your room or space. You can count on us to seamlessly install high-quality VELUX skylights and sun tunnels that give you the most value for your investment.
Flexible Sun Tunnels
These tunnels come in handy when there are obstructions in the way of the space required for installation. These tunnels are ideal for shorter runs, help diffuse sunlight in short runs, and easily bend around attic obstructions. More Information on Sun Tunnels
Rigid Sun Tunnels
These tunnels are used when there is a straight, unobstructed path from the roof down through the ceiling. This type is excellent for long tunnel runs and has brighter white light. More Sun Tunnel Information at Skylights of Rhode Island.
Solar-Powered Skylights
This type features a solar panel that captures any available daylight — so you can open and close your skylight with the touch of a button and the power of the sun. You can also upgrade this tunnel to include voice control, automatic control, and smart home automation. More Skylight Information at Skylights of Rhode Island
Flat Roof Skylights
This type features curved glass allowing water to disperse while also transforming and improving virtually any space of your home with daylight. More Skylight Information
Skylights are larger and bring more direct natural light into rooms, with options for ventilation. Sun tunnels use reflective tubing to capture daylight and deliver it to smaller spaces like hallways, bathrooms, closets, and interior rooms where a traditional skylight may not be practical.
Popular locations include kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, stairwells, hallways, walk-in closets, garages, finished attics, and rooms without windows. We help homeowners find the best placement for light, privacy, and energy efficiency during the consultation.
Yes. Roof windows and venting skylights allow fresh air to flow into the home and stale air to rise and escape, promoting better air circulation, reducing humidity and odors in bathrooms and kitchens, and improving indoor comfort during warmer months.
Yes, skylights and sun tunnels can typically be installed on an existing roof as long as the roofing material and flashing are in good condition. If you plan to replace your roof soon, this is an ideal time to install or upgrade skylights for better flashing and waterproof integration.
When installed correctly with proper flashing, skylights do not cause leaks. We use Velux products that feature built-in leak protection, weather sealing, and curb-mounted options to secure long-term performance even during heavy rain and snow in Rhode Island.
Solar-powered skylights use a small rooftop solar panel to operate remote-control ventilation, blinds, and automatic closing features. They do not require wiring, qualify for energy incentives, and can include moisture sensors that close automatically during rain.
Yes. Velux skylights can be paired with voice control, automatic blinds, rain sensors, mobile app control, and home automation systems like Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit for even more convenience and comfort.
Natural daylight reduces the need for interior lighting during the day, and venting skylights can improve ventilation, reducing AC use. Modern skylights also include high-insulation glass that helps block heat loss in winter and reject heat in summer for better energy performance.
Velux skylights are designed for long-term use and come with strong manufacturer warranties when professionally installed. They are built to resist UV damage, cracking, and fading, and can be expected to perform for many years when properly flashed and maintained.
Yes. Sun tunnels can carry daylight from the roof to almost any room using reflective tubing or flexible shafts. Even rooms in the center of a home, or rooms with attic space above them, can often be brightened with sun tunnels.
Yes. Skylight blinds are available in room-darkening, light-filtering, or solar-powered options. They can be manual, remote-controlled, app-controlled, or part of a smart home system for light and temperature control.
Simply schedule a free onsite appointment. We will review roof access, attic space, room lighting needs, privacy concerns, and recommend the best skylight or sun tunnel options—including sizing, placement, and smart upgrades—based on your goals.
