Improve Commercial Skylight Performance with VELUX Dome Accessories

VELUX Commercial Dome Unit Skylights are among the most popular ways to bring natural light into commercial spaces. But some projects require more than just the dome.

The challenge is not only how to bring more daylight into a building, but how to support the full performance of the skylight system for the people who use and maintain the space every day.

Successful commercial building projects have to balance multiple priorities, from daylight quality and installation efficiency to long-term safety and roof performance. That is where the right accessories can make a meaningful difference.

VELUX Commercial offers a range of dome accessories designed to help support jobsite safety, simplify installation, and enhance long-term performance. Before exploring the available options, it is helpful to understand why these additions matter and how they can help deliver a higher-quality build.

Why Commercial Skylight Accessories Matter

Every commercial skylight project has different roof conditions, safety requirements, and installation needs. The right accessories can simplify installation, reduce field assembly, support safer roof access, and provide added protection during construction and future maintenance.

Whether your project requires a prefabricated curb, an internal safety screen, an external safety screen, or built-in fall protection, VELUX Commercial dome accessories are designed to work with compatible VELUX Commercial Dome Unit Skylights.

Commercial Dome Skylight Curbs

Some VELUX Commercial Dome projects require a curb to complete the installation. VELUX Commercial prefabricated curbs are fully assembled to help reduce installation time and costs while eliminating missing parts and field assembly.

These curbs are ideal for jobs with tight deadlines and are available in insulated and non-insulated models. Arriving prefabricated and ready for installation, they can help contractors create a more efficient workflow on the roof while supporting a more complete skylight installation package.

Key benefits include:

• Fully assembled curb options to help reduce field labor
• Fewer loose parts and less jobsite assembly
• Insulated and non-insulated model options
• Streamlined assembly for projects with tight installation schedules
• Designed for use with VELUX Commercial Dome Unit Skylights

Fall Protection Accessories for Commercial Dome Skylights

All skylights pose an inherent risk during installation and maintenance, and the safety of others is of the utmost importance to VELUX Commercial. That is why we have developed a range of fall protection options compatible with our unit domes to enhance long-term safety.

VELUX Commercial fall protection accessories are designed to help protect skylight openings during construction and after the building is complete. Depending on the project, teams can choose from internal safety screens, external safety screens, or curb models with built-in fall protection.

Internal Safety Screens for Dome Skylights

Internal safety screens are a cost-effective way to protect skylight openings. Installed just beneath the dome skylight, internal safety screens provide enhanced safety measures both during construction and long after construction is complete.

Because they are positioned beneath the dome, internal safety screens help maintain roof safety while preserving the skylight system's daylighting benefits.

External Safety Screens for Flat Roof Dome Skylights

External safety screens provide OSHA fall protection for domed skylights on flat roofs. VELUX Commercial external safety screens have an adjustment range of 4" in width for easy installation and can be installed without damaging or penetrating the skylight.

This makes external safety screens a strong option for flat-roof applications where teams need additional fall protection while preserving the skylight's integrity.

Dome Curbs with Built-In Fall Protection

For some jobs, you want built-in fall protection. For those jobs, look to VELUX Commercial Dome Unit Curbs. Models CCA6 and CCA3 curbs come with an impact-tested security screen in a grid pattern using 3/16" cold-rolled galvanized steel rods.

Built-in fall protection can be a practical option when safety needs to be integrated directly into the curb assembly, helping reduce the need for separate safety components on compatible projects.

Which Dome Accessory Is Right for Your Project?

The right accessory depends on your roof condition, installation requirements, and safety goals.

• Choose prefabricated dome curbs when your project needs a faster, more complete curb solution with less field assembly.
• Choose internal safety screens for a cost-effective way to protect the skylight opening beneath the dome.
• Choose external safety screens when your flat roof application requires OSHA fall protection without penetrating or damaging the skylight.
• Choose dome curbs with built-in fall protection when you want fall protection integrated directly into the curb assembly.
