Fixed Skylights

Non-opening skylights designed purely to fill a dark room with natural light. Available in flat and pitched options.

Venting Skylights

Open manually or by remote to exhaust heat and bring in fresh air — ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.

Tubular Skylights

Small-footprint light tubes deliver bright daylight to interior rooms with no attic access needed.

Solar-Powered Venting

Automatically open and close with a solar-charged motor and rain sensor built right in.

Leak-Proof Flashing

Our carpenters use proper step flashing and waterproofing details to eliminate the #1 skylight complaint.

Energy-Efficient Glazing

Low-E coatings and laminated safety glass keep heat out in summer and warmth in during winter.

Velux Skylight Installation in Boise

Wood Windows is an authorized Velux dealer, and Velux makes the skylights we recommend most: solar-powered venting units that open to exhaust summer heat and close automatically when the rain sensor trips — no wiring required. For interior rooms without attic clearance, Velux Sun Tunnels pipe daylight through a reflective tube from roof to ceiling.

The reason skylights get a bad reputation is flashing, not glass. Boise roofs see snow load, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense summer sun, and a skylight installed with sealant instead of proper step flashing will eventually leak. Our carpenters install every unit with the manufacturer's full flashing kit, integrated correctly with your roofing — that's why we can say ours don't leak.

Where Skylights Work Best in Idaho Homes

After decades of skylight installs across the Treasure Valley, the payoff pattern is consistent:

  • Kitchens — a venting skylight exhausts cooking heat and brings in the morning light.
  • Bathrooms — daylight plus ventilation without sacrificing privacy to a wall window.
  • North-facing rooms — the rooms that never get direct sun benefit most.
  • Interior hallways and closets — tubular skylights daylight spaces a window can't reach.
  • Vaulted living rooms — fixed units high in the ceiling change the whole feel of the space.
