Why Velux skylights, sun tunnels, & roof windows? To beautify your living space with ventilation and natural light!

Desert Sky Daylight LLC was born from a passion for natural light and a love for the outdoors. As lifelong enthusiasts of southern Utah’s vibrant landscapes, founders Wade Knight and Michael Wall share a deep connection with the region they call home. Michael, a St. George native, has lived here all his life, while Wade has spent the last 20 years embracing the area’s warmth and beauty.

With over 12 years of experience working with skylights and sun tunnels (tubular skylights), Michael and Wade saw the opportunity to brighten more than just their own adventures—they wanted to bring that same sunlight into homes and businesses. Driven by a shared vision to illuminate dark spaces and enhance quality of life, they partnered with Velux to offer the best in daylighting solutions.

Every project reflects their belief that sunlight is more than just light—it’s warmth, energy, and a way to uplift spaces and spirits. At Desert Sky Daylight LLC, bringing sunshine indoors is not just our work—it’s what we love..

Velux Products Overview

1. Sun Tunnels (Tubular Skylights)

• Purpose: Designed to bring natural light into areas where traditional skylights won’t fit, such as closets, hallways, or bathrooms.

• How They Work: A dome on the roof collects sunlight, which is reflected down a highly reflective tube into the interior space. This compact design maximizes light even with limited space.

• Benefits:

• Quick installation (often within a few hours).

• Perfect for tight spaces and rooms without direct roof access.

• Available in flexible and rigid tube designs to adapt to any layout.

2. Skylights

• Purpose: Provide both natural light and fresh air, transforming rooms into brighter, more comfortable spaces.

• Types of Skylights:

• Fixed Skylights: Non-operable, ideal for rooms that need natural light without ventilation.

• Ventilating Skylights: Can be opened to allow airflow, great for kitchens, bathrooms, or lofts.

• Solar-Powered Skylights: Operate with solar energy, featuring rain sensors that close the skylight automatically during rain.

• Benefits:

• Floods larger spaces with daylight.

• Reduces the need for artificial lighting.

• Ventilating models improve air circulation and reduce moisture buildup.

3. Roof Windows

• Purpose: Installed in roof spaces with a steeper pitch, these windows provide both daylight and ventilation, often used in lofts, attics, or bonus rooms.

• How They Differ from Skylights: Roof windows are installed within reach and can be opened easily, while skylights are typically placed higher on the roof.

• Benefits:

• Open outward for maximum ventilation.

• Some models include remote operation or sun-shading accessories.

• Perfect for spaces converted from attics or unused loft areas.
