VELUX Modular Skylight – Ridgelight 5° with Beams
The daylight solution that rivals glass roofs
The Ridgelight 5° with Beams is a self-supporting structure comprised of two rows of skylights with beams supporting the module sides.
Installed at an angle of 5° with support beams, the modular Ridgelight at 5° with beams is the ideal solution for large roof openings, bringing daylight into galleries, circulation areas and small internal courts, adding to the look and feel of the room and creating an illusion of a full glass roof.
The self-supporting Ridgelight at 5° is suitable for flat roofs with a roof opening width of between 1.8 and 6.2 m for fixed modules and 1.8 to 5.0 m for venting modules.
