Whether you're a homeowner wanting more light, a renovator on a mission, or an architect or builder planning a project, choosing Vivid is an investment in lasting quality, performance, and style. We've built our reputation as a leading supplier by focusing on what actually matters: top-notch design, materials that stand up to the Aussie climate, and making it all accessible to everyone through our nationwide delivery network.
To give you a quick overview of what we offer, here's a simple breakdown of our core products.

A Leader in Australian Natural Light
Over the last few years, the desire for high-quality natural light has exploded across Australia. It’s not just about aesthetics anymore; people are realising the real-world benefits. Our standard double-glazed skylights, for example, can cut heat loss by up to 40% when compared to old-school single-glazed units.
We’ve heard from homeowners in Melbourne, with its notoriously four-seasons-in-one-day climate, who’ve seen their daytime electricity bills drop by 25-30% after installing our skylights. That’s a real, tangible saving.
We make it easy to get these benefits with our core range:
Double Glazed Fixed Skylights: These are your go-to for spaces where you just want to flood the room with light. Think hallways, living areas, or any spot that feels a bit gloomy.
Double Glazed Operable Skylights: Perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, our electric and solar powered models let you bring in fresh air whenever you need it, all with a simple remote.
Our mission is pretty simple: make premium, high-performance skylights available to everyone, everywhere in Australia. By making double glazing standard and offering a full range of fixed and operable models, we’ve got a solution for any home or project.
Whether you’re building from scratch in Perth, renovating a classic terrace in Sydney, or giving a coastal home in Queensland a facelift, we’ll get your skylights delivered directly to your site. Our nationwide delivery means you can stop worrying about logistics and start planning for a brighter home. If you’re just starting to explore the possibilities, our guide on what is a skylight is a great place to begin.
Choosing The Right Skylight For Your Home
Choosing the right skylight isn’t just about picking a window for your roof. It’s about deciding what you want that window to do for your space. Do you simply need to flood a dark room with sunlight, or are you looking for fresh air and ventilation too?
At Vivid Skylights, we’ve designed our range around these two core needs. We don’t believe in overwhelming you with endless options. Instead, as a leading supplier, we offer a focused selection of premium, double glazed fixed and operable skylights, making it simple to find the perfect fit for your home and lifestyle.
This handy chart breaks down the key differences between our models to get you started.
As you can see, the decision really boils down to one question: do you need ventilation? For rooms that just need light, our double glazed fixed skylights are the perfect solution. If you want airflow as well, our operable models are the way to go.
Fixed Skylights For Maximum Light
Think of a fixed skylight as a pure, uninterrupted window to the sky. Its one and only job is to drench a space in beautiful, natural light. With no opening mechanism, it offers a sleek, minimalist look that’s perfect for rooms where ventilation is already sorted, but the atmosphere feels dim or closed-in.
They’re a brilliant choice for hallways, stairwells, or large open-plan living areas. A fixed skylight can instantly transform a gloomy corridor into an inviting passage or make a living room feel dramatically larger and more open, all without major structural changes.
Because they have no moving parts, fixed skylights deliver a clean, unobtrusive look. They are the simplest and most cost-effective way to bring the beauty of daylight into your home’s core spaces.
Every one of our fixed models comes with double glazing as standard. This is crucial for thermal performance, helping to keep your home comfortable all year round by trapping heat in during winter and blocking it out in the Aussie summer.
Electric Operable Skylights For Effortless Airflow
Now, imagine you could open that window to the sky with the press of a button. That’s the beauty of an electric operable skylight. Hardwired directly into your home’s mains power, these units come with a simple remote control, giving you on-demand access to fresh air.
These are the ultimate problem-solvers for rooms that tend to trap moisture, heat, or odours.
Kitchens: Instantly vent steam, smoke, and cooking smells.
Bathrooms: Combat condensation and help prevent mould build-up.
Laundries: Let out the humid air from a running dryer.
Because they’re mains-powered, you get rock-solid, reliable ventilation whenever you need it. This makes our double glazed electric skylights a fantastic choice for new builds or major renovations where integrating the wiring is straightforward. With an electric model, you truly get the best of both worlds: abundant natural light and powerful, convenient airflow.
Solar Powered Skylights For Smart Ventilation
A solar powered operable skylight gives you all the same brilliant ventilation as our electric model, but with one massive advantage: it runs entirely on the power of the sun. A small, neatly integrated solar panel charges an internal battery, meaning the skylight operates completely off-grid.
This is a complete game-changer when it comes to retrofitting skylights into existing homes. There is no need to run any new electrical wiring, which makes the installation process much quicker, cleaner, and removes the cost of hiring an electrician.
These solar models are perfect for anyone looking for a sustainable solution or for installations where running a new power line would be a major headache. You still get the same remote-controlled convenience, letting you bring fresh air into any room without adding a single cent to your power bill.
As you weigh these options, you can dive deeper into the different types of skylights we offer to find the perfect match for your home.
When you’re looking for a skylight, you’re not just buying a window for your roof. You’re investing in a feature that needs to perform flawlessly for decades, standing up to everything the harsh Australian climate can throw at it. It’s about more than just light; it’s about smart design, durability, and peace of mind.
At Vivid Skylights, we get that. As a leading supplier of double glazed fixed and operable skylights, we’ve obsessed over every single detail to ensure our products aren’t just good, but exceptional.
It all starts with our standard double glazing. Think of it like a high-performance thermos for your home. Two panes of glass with a sealed air gap in between create a powerful thermal barrier. This simple but incredibly effective design helps keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, so you’re not constantly reaching for the air-con remote. The result? A more comfortable home and lower energy bills.
And it’s not just about temperature. That same double glazing is fantastic at muting outside noise. Whether it’s passing traffic, barking dogs, or a sudden downpour, our skylights help keep your home a peaceful, quiet sanctuary.
Built for Performance, Not for Chores
Let’s be honest, nobody wants another thing on their to-do list. We believe enjoying beautiful, natural light shouldn’t come with the hassle of constant cleaning or worrying about performance. That’s why we’ve engineered our skylights to be as low-maintenance as possible.
A standout feature is our self-cleaning glass. A transparent, permanent coating on the outside glass uses the power of nature to do the dirty work for you. First, the sun’s UV rays break down organic grime. Then, when it rains, the water doesn’t bead up; it sheets across the glass, washing all that loosened dirt away. It means you get a crystal-clear view without ever having to climb a ladder.
A skylight’s true worth isn’t just how it looks the day it’s installed, but how it holds up year after year. We’ve combined tough double glazing with clever self-cleaning glass to give you a product that boosts comfort and cuts down on chores from day one.
We also made a critical design choice with our frameless top glass. Older skylight designs often have a bulky external frame that acts like a gutter, trapping leaves, dirt, and water right where you don’t want it. Our sleek, frameless edge lets rainwater and debris slide right off, preventing pooling and drastically reducing the risk of leaks. It’s a small detail that makes a massive difference to a skylight’s lifespan.
A Frame That’s Tough Enough for Australia
The frame is the backbone of a skylight, and in Australia, it needs to be seriously tough. We build our frames from robust, powder-coated aluminium—a material loved for its blend of strength, light weight, and incredible resistance to rust and corrosion.
This is especially crucial if you live near the coast, where salty air can wreak havoc on lesser materials. The durable black powder coating adds another layer of defence, ensuring the frame won’t fade, warp, or rust, even after years of being blasted by intense sun and torrential rain. We put a lot of thought into the engineering of our durable skylight frames.
Our focus on creating a bulletproof seal is paying off. Internal audits show our electric opening models, which feature smart rain-sensing technology, prevent water ingress in 99% of installations. That figure blows the industry’s average leak-free rate of 82% (after three years) out of the water. In humid climates like bayside Melbourne, where poor ventilation contributes to 40% higher mould issues in dark homes, this kind of reliability is non-negotiable. It’s this dedication to performance that gives our customers real, lasting peace of mind.
How To Personalise Your Skylight System
A great skylight does more than just let in light; it adapts to your lifestyle. We’ve designed the Vivid Skylights system so you can personalise it with smart accessories that add layers of control and convenience, turning a simple window into an active part of your home’s comfort system.
Whether you go for an electric or solar powered operable skylight, you get the ability to bring in fresh air whenever you want. But we’ve taken this a step further with accessories designed for real-world Australian living.
Smart Rain Sensors for Worry-Free Ventilation
Ever left the house with the windows open, only to see dark clouds rolling in? It’s a feeling we all know. With our intelligent motorised openers, there’s no need to panic.
Every single operable Vivid Skylight comes standard with a smart rain sensor. The moment it detects the first drops of a downpour, it automatically closes the skylight for you, securing your home against water damage. It’s the ultimate set-and-forget feature that gives you total peace of mind.
This means you can confidently ventilate your home to improve air quality without constantly checking the weather. It’s perfect for airing out a steamy kitchen after dinner or letting a cool breeze flow through the house while you’re out.
Control Light and Air On Your Terms
Beyond the automated weather protection, our accessories give you precise control over your indoor environment. We offer two essential add-ons that work seamlessly with our skylights.
Integrated Fly Screens: Enjoy a fresh breeze without inviting unwanted guests. Our custom-fit fly screens allow for pest-free ventilation, so you can leave your skylight open on a warm summer evening without a single worry about flies or mosquitoes.
Block-Out Blinds: For bedrooms, nurseries, or home cinemas, complete light control is non-negotiable. Our stylish and effective block-out blinds give you the power to plunge a room into darkness with the touch of a button, creating the perfect atmosphere for sleep or movie night.
By combining intelligent sensors with practical accessories like fly screens and blinds, you can create a skylight system that perfectly matches your daily routines. It’s about making your home work for you, not the other way around.
Picture a family movie night. With one remote, you can close the blind to create that perfect dark, cinematic feel. In a bedroom, you could set the blind to open with the morning sun for a natural, gentle wake-up call. If you’d like to explore these options further, you can learn more about our range of skylight blinds and shades.
Ultimately, these personalisation options ensure your Vivid Skylights installation delivers more than just light. They provide ventilation without compromise, darkness on demand, and the clever automation that makes modern living effortless.
Understanding The Installation Process
Putting a new skylight in your home is a big decision, and naturally, you want to know what the installation involves. We get it. We’ve designed our Vivid Skylights system to be as straightforward as possible, whether you’re a confident DIYer or would rather call in a professional.
One of the cornerstones of our business is making premium skylights accessible to everyone, no matter where you are in Australia. Our nationwide delivery service ensures your new skylight arrives safely, whether you’re in a bustling Sydney suburb, a coastal home in Perth, or a regional town. As a leading Australian supplier of premium double glazed fixed and operable skylights, this is a promise we stand by.
The DIY Installation Path
For those with the right tools and a bit of know-how, installing a Vivid Skylight can be a satisfying weekend project. To make things easier, every skylight ships standard with a custom-designed flashing kit for tiled roofs—the critical component for creating a perfect, weatherproof seal.
Our fixed, electric, and solar powered operable skylights are all engineered for a logical, direct fit. A seasoned DIYer or a qualified carpenter can get them installed efficiently without any fuss. The goal is simple: get your skylight in place and sealed against the elements. For a step-by-step look at what’s involved, check out our detailed guide covering the entire skylight installation process.
Finding A Professional Installer
If you’d prefer to leave it to an expert, finding a qualified installer is simple. We’ve taken the guesswork out of the quoting process.
We created the Skylight Pricing Estimator tool for this very reason. It connects you with tradespeople familiar with our products and gives you a clear, fast quote for professional fitting in your area.
This tool helps you budget properly and find the right person for the job, saving you from endless phone calls. The rising popularity of skylights in Australia is partly due to these kinds of tools making professional installation more accessible than ever. In fact, data from the Victorian Building Authority shows a 28% increase in skylight permits for renovations between 2020 and 2026, a trend driven by flexible finance and easy-to-use online estimators.
Confidence Beyond Installation
Our commitment doesn’t stop once the skylight is on your roof. We stand behind the quality and durability of every product we sell. That’s why every single Vivid Skylights unit is backed by a comprehensive 10-year leak-free warranty.
This gives you complete peace of mind, assuring you that your investment is protected against Australia’s unpredictable weather for a full decade. On top of that, we offer flexible finance options to make your project more manageable. By removing some of the financial hurdles, we make it easier to invest in the quality, light, and value our skylights bring to your home.
What You Really Get When You Install a Vivid Skylight
Sure, we can talk all day about the technical specs and premium materials we use. But the real story of a Vivid Skylight isn’t just about the product—it’s about the massive difference it makes to your home and your day-to-day life. It’s about more than just letting in light; it’s about creating a space that feels healthier, looks more valuable, and runs more efficiently. As one of Australia’s leading suppliers of double glazed fixed and operable skylights, we see these changes happen for our customers every single day.
Think of it as an instant architectural upgrade. A skylight introduces a dynamic wash of natural light that shifts and changes with the sun, adding a layer of character and luxury that no light bulb can ever hope to match.
Enhance Your Home’s Value
One of the first things people notice is the very real boost to their property’s market value. Real estate agents will tell you that homes flooded with natural light feel bigger, more welcoming, and far more appealing to potential buyers. A Vivid Skylight isn’t just another renovation cost; it’s a savvy investment that can pay you back handsomely.
That kind of appeal makes your home a standout in a crowded market. It’s a clear signal of a modern, thoughtfully maintained property and often becomes a key feature that helps justify a higher asking price.
Improve Your Wellbeing
This is where it gets personal. The positive effects of natural light on our health are huge and well-proven. Being around daylight helps keep our circadian rhythms in check, which translates to better sleep, a brighter mood, and sharper focus. When you turn a dark, forgotten room into a bright, airy retreat, you’re building an environment that actively supports your mental and physical health.
It doesn’t stop there. Our operable skylights—both the electric and solar powered models—are fantastic for improving your home’s air quality. They give you the power to vent out stale air, cooking odours, and moisture from humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms, creating a fresher, healthier atmosphere for your family.
A well-lit home is a healthier home. By boosting natural light and improving ventilation, Vivid Skylights contribute directly to a better quality of life, reducing stress and creating a more positive indoor environment.
Achieve Real Energy Savings
Finally, let’s talk about the practical side of things: lower energy bills. When you maximise natural light, you simply don’t need to flick on as many lights during the day. This one change can cause a noticeable drop in your electricity use, especially in those rooms that were once dark and dependent on artificial light.
Our standard double glazing also acts as a brilliant thermal insulator. It helps trap warmth inside during winter and keep the heat out in summer, taking a significant load off your heating and air conditioning. Over the years, these energy savings really stack up, making your skylight a smart financial move that eventually pays for itself.
To put it all together, here’s a quick look at how a Vivid Skylight can upgrade your home and lifestyle.
Impact on Home and Lifestyle
| Benefit Category | Description | Relevant Skylight Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural Appeal | Creates a sense of luxury and space, making your home feel more modern and inviting. | Frameless design, large glass panes |
| Increased Property Value | A sought-after feature that boosts market appeal and can increase resale value. | All models (Fixed, Electric, Solar) |
| Improved Mood & Focus | Natural light helps regulate serotonin, leading to better moods and concentration. | All models with large glass area |
| Better Sleep Quality | Exposure to daylight helps synchronise the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. | All models |
| Healthier Indoor Air | Vents stale air, moisture, and pollutants to create a fresher living environment. | Operable (Electric & Solar) models |
| Reduced Energy Bills | Less reliance on artificial lighting and better thermal performance lower electricity costs. | Double glazing (standard on all models) |
The benefits are clear and tangible. A Vivid Skylight enhances your home’s value, improves your family’s wellbeing, and cuts down your energy costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you're looking to bring more natural light into your home, you'll want to get the details right. Choosing the perfect skylight involves thinking about your roof, your home's layout, and how you live in the space.
We get it. As one of Australia's trusted suppliers of double glazed fixed and operable skylights, we've heard just about every question there is. We’ve put together some answers to the queries we hear most often from homeowners, renovators, and builders across the country.
Can Vivid Skylights Be Installed On Any Roof?
Yes, they certainly can. We’ve designed our skylights with flexibility at their core, ensuring they’re just as at home on a classic pitched roof as they are on a modern low-pitch or completely flat one.
The secret is in our specialised flashing kits. Each one is engineered to create a perfect, weatherproof seal with different roofing materials, from tiles to metal. This means you get a watertight fit every single time, allowing you to bring beautiful daylight into almost any corner of your home.
What Is The Difference Between A Solar And Electric Skylight?
The key difference comes down to how they're powered. Both our electric and solar powered operable skylights give you that fantastic ability to open them for fresh air with a remote, but they draw their energy from different sources.
An electric skylight is wired directly into your home’s main power supply for a constant, reliable connection.
A solar skylight, on the other hand, is completely self-contained. It has its own built-in solar panel and battery system, so it works entirely off-grid.
For existing homes, the solar option is often the smarter and more cost-effective path. It means you can skip the hassle and expense of hiring an electrician to run new wiring up through your ceiling and roof space.
It's worth remembering that both models offer the same brilliant ventilation and come standard with our smart rain sensor. The choice really just boils down to what suits your home’s setup and your budget best.
How Much Maintenance Is Required?
Next to none. We've made sure Vivid Skylights are designed for you to enjoy the light, not worry about upkeep. Every skylight we make features self-cleaning glass. This isn't just a marketing term; it's a special coating that uses the sun's UV rays to break down grime, which then gets washed away by the rain.
On top of that, the tough, powder-coated aluminium frames are built to handle the harsh Australian climate without fading or needing attention. You can just sit back and enjoy the view.
Do You Deliver Skylights Across Australia?
Absolutely. Making our premium skylights accessible to every Australian, no matter their postcode, is a core part of what we do. From our home base in Melbourne, we coordinate nationwide delivery across Australia.
Whether you're in the heart of a major city or out in a regional town, we'll get our double glazed fixed and operable skylights delivered right to your door or worksite.
