Convenient manual control

Our manual skylights are easily opened and closed with VELUX accessories. A smooth turning handle is available in the box when skylights are installed within reach.  For out-of-reach installations control rods are sold separately; consider a Solar Powered or Electric Venting model which comes with an easy to use touchscreen remote and integrated rain sensors to close the unit in case of inclement weather.
