Skylight vs. Sun Tunnel: Which Is Right for You?
Choosing the right daylighting solution depends on your architectural layout, budget, and goals.

VELUX Skylights: A Window to the Sky
VELUX traditional skylights function exactly like roof-mounted windows. They fill major living spaces with dramatic overhead daylight, make rooms feel physically larger, and improve indoor air quality.
- Fixed Skylights: Tightly sealed and highly insulated, perfect for visually expanding a dark kitchen or great room.
- Venting Skylights (Solar or Electric): These open up to create a “chimney effect,” drawing stale hot air up and out of your home while pulling cool breezes through your lower windows.
- Clean, Quiet, and Safe: Built with advanced Neat® glass. A microscopic coating disperses rainwater evenly so it dries without water spots, while the laminated glass reduces outside noise by up to 50% compared to plastic alternatives.
Tax Credit Tip: Choosing a VELUX Solar-Powered Venting Skylight or solar-powered blind can qualify you for a Federal Solar Tax Credit on both the product and your installation costs.
VELUX Sun Tunnels®: Natural Light in Tight Spaces
If you want to illuminate a windowless interior space but don’t have the room or budget for a full skylight, a Sun Tunnel is the perfect alternative.
A high-performance acrylic dome on your roof captures sunlight from all angles, funnels it down through a highly reflective tube passing through your attic space, and delivers bright, pure daylight to your ceiling diffuser.
- Rigid Sun Tunnels: Best for straight runs between the roof and ceiling, delivering maximum, intense light output over longer distances.
- Flexible Sun Tunnels: Ideal for navigating around structural obstacles, attic beams, or HVAC ductwork in tight roof spaces.
- Fast Transformation: Because they require no major structural changes or drywall framing, our team can typically complete a Sun Tunnel installation in just a few hours.
Got an Old, Leaking Acrylic Dome Skylight? Upgrade to Leak-Free Glass.
If your home was built or remodeled in the 1980s or 90s, you likely have old plastic or acrylic dome skylights. Over time, constant exposure to Southern California’s intense UV rays breaks these materials down.
If you have noticed any of these warning signs, it is time for a replacement before structural water damage sets in:
- The “Yellowing” Effect: The plastic has turned brittle, hazy, or yellow, blocking out natural light and looking unsightly from both inside and outside your home.
- Condensation & Fogging: Moisture trapped between the acrylic layers means the seals have completely failed.
- The Dreaded Rainy Day Drips: Cracks around the acrylic frame or deteriorated flashing are a primary cause of ceiling stains during winter storms.
- Amplified Heat & Noise: Old domes act like greenhouses, trapping solar heat inside your home and magnifying the sound of rain or neighborhood noise.
The Solution: Direct Replacement with Advanced VELUX Glass
You do not have to live with a drafty, unsightly skylight. Pacific Roofing Systems specializes in removing failing acrylic domes and retrofitting them with high-performance VELUX Glass Skylights.
Because we specialize in both residential roofing and certified VELUX installations, we completely rebuild the critical flashing system surrounding the unit. This ensures a flawless integration with your existing clay tile, concrete tile, or composition shingle roof, delivering a permanent, leak-free seal.
Upgrade to a modern glass skylight to instantly gain crystal-clear views, a 50% reduction in outside noise, advanced UV protection for your furniture, and the peace of mind that comes with the VELUX “No Leak” warranty.
