This newest edition of our skylight parts series is all about the VELUX Manual "Fresh Air" Skylight!
The VELUX Manual "Fresh Air" Skylight is a simple, straightforward, and stunning as they come. Rather than using electric or solar-powered components, this skylight opens and closes by hand with a smooth turning handle for in-reach applications and a rod for out-of-reach ones. Like our other venting skylights, this one enables any home to embrace the very best of what nature has to offer: daylight and fresh air.
The Manual "Fresh Air" Skylight can also be eligible for our Go Solar program when you pair it with any of our factory-installed, solar-powered blinds. This gives you a 30% federal tax credit based on the entire cost of product and installation - but only this year! After 2019, the credit goes down to 26% in 2020 and 22% in 2021 before going away altogether.
Now, for the different parts of your skylight. First things first, your Manual "Fresh Air" Skylight looks like this:

Each Manual "Fresh Air" Skylight comes equipped with an insect screen to prevent pests from getting into your home. It also comes with a control rod, and additional rods can be purchased from our line of skylight accessories.
