At Luminous Skylights, we specialise in the professional installation of a wide range of natural lighting solutions, including the full range of Velux skylights, Velux sun tunnels, and custom skylight systems throughout Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. We supply and install: ✅ Velux Fixed Skylights Ideal for rooms that need natural daylight without ventilation. Fixed skylights are a great choice for living areas, stairwells, and hallways, especially in double-storey homes where airflow isn’t needed. ✅ Velux Opening Skylights We install manual, electric, and solar-powered opening skylights, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms where both light and ventilation are important. These models can be controlled with a remote, smart system, or wall switch and include optional rain sensors. ✅ Velux Sun Tunnels Sun tunnels are ideal for small or enclosed spaces like laundries, bathrooms, and walk-in robes. They bring in powerful daylight using a highly reflective tunnel from your roof to your ceiling, and are a more affordable option than traditional skylights. Prices for sun tunnel installation in Melbourne start from around $900 to $1,600, depending on the model and access. ✅ Custom Skylight Installations We also offer custom-designed skylight installations, tailored to suit flat or pitched roofs, unusual spaces, or homes with specific architectural or energy-efficiency requirements. Our team can advise on the best solution based on your roof structure, lighting goals, and budget. All skylights we install are designed to: Maximise energy efficiency Improve natural airflow Reduce reliance on artificial lighting Comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) We service a wide area including Seaford, Elwood, Frankston, St Kilda, and greater Melbourne, and we offer free quotes and consultations.

The cost of skylight installation in Melbourne can vary depending on several important factors including the type of skylight, roof structure, height of the ceiling, and whether plastering and carpentry are required as part of the process. Here’s a general price guide: Velux Sun Tunnels: Prices typically range from $900 to $1,600, depending on the roof type, tunnel length, and whether a rigid or flexible model is used. These are a cost-effective way to bring natural daylight into smaller, enclosed areas like bathrooms, hallways, and laundries. Velux Fixed Skylights: Prices start from around $2,300 and upwards. Final costs will depend on the skylight size, roof access, and any optional accessories, such as: Blinds (manual or solar) Double glazing Acoustic insulation Remote control functionality Openable skylights, solar-powered skylights, and custom installations (especially in double-storey homes or tiled roofs) may involve additional costs for scaffolding, roof framing, and plastering. At Luminous Skylights, we provide free on-site quotes in Seaford, Elwood, Frankston, and greater Melbourne, with no hidden costs. We aim to deliver maximum value through quality products, expert installation, and complete finishing (including framing and plastering). Get a free skylight cost estimate →

🛠️ How long does it take to install a skylight? Most Velux skylight installations in Melbourne can be completed in one full day if the roof is easily accessible and the skylight is a standard size (e.g., 550x980mm). However, several factors can affect the total time required: Double-storey homes may require scaffolding or roof safety systems, which adds time for setup and access. If framing, plastering, and painting are involved, the full process may take 2 to 3 days, especially if drying time is required between stages. For sun tunnels, installation is typically quicker — between 2 to 5 hours — depending on tunnel length and ceiling layout. At Luminous Skylights, we handle everything in-house: carpentry, framing, flashing installation, plastering, sanding, and final clean-up. You won't need to coordinate with other trades. We work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of finish and compliance with the Australian Building Code (NCC). Learn more about our skylight installation process →

We specialise in the supply and installation of Velux skylights, Velux sun tunnels, and Illume skylight alternatives across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Our goal is to help you enhance your home with more natural light, improve airflow, and reduce reliance on artificial lighting — all while maintaining energy efficiency and compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC). ✅ Velux Fixed Skylights Perfect for letting in natural daylight without ventilation.
