Description
The Velux VCM 2246 2005RS02 22-1/2 x 46-1/2 in. Venting Manual Curb-Mount Skylight with Tempered Glazing and Dark Blue Solar Light Filtering Blinds. The Velux Fresh Air Skylights are energy-saving and stylish. They help you decrease the need for electricity, bringing natural light into your house improving air circulation. The Velux VCM 2246 2005RS02 has protective aluminum cladding and also a streamlined design, which won't obstruct your roofline. This skylight size is appropriate to work with most types of site-built curbs, no matter if they are slightly out-of-square, pre-existing, or surrounded by unusually thick flashing and roofing material. Installation hardware, operator hook, and insect screen are included.
This skylight features Velux' light filtering blinds in blue, which block direct sunlight. This is ideal for use in rooms where filtered light might be preferable, such as in kitchens and living rooms (to prevent glare). The Leviton Velux VCM 2246 2005DS02 is the solar blackout version of this skylight.
Please Note: Flashing not included, blinds included.
