Skylight & Roof Vent Installation
Design, supply, and install premium skylights and roof ventilation systems to enhance natural light, improve indoor air quality, and extend roof performance — all while maintaining watertight integrity.

Adding skylights and roof vents can transform the comfort, energy efficiency, and visual appeal of a building. However, any penetration through a roof is also a potential leak source if not detailed with precision. At Atomic Projects, we integrate skylights and ventilation systems into your roof structure with the same engineering discipline we apply to structural waterproofing.

Skylight Installation

We work with leading brands such as Velux and Solatube, offering fixed, operable, solar-powered, and custom skylight solutions. Whether retrofitting into an existing roof or installing as part of a replacement, our approach ensures both aesthetic integration and long-term weather resistance.

Our skylight process includes:

  1. Design & Placement
    • Analyse roof orientation and sun path for optimal daylighting.
    • Ensure compliance with structural loading and fire separation rules.
  2. Roof Penetration & Framing
    • Carefully cut and frame the roof opening to support the skylight and surrounding roof load.
    • Reinforce with treated timber or steel framing as required.
  3. Custom Flashing Systems
    • Fabricate and install flashing kits specific to roof profile (tile, Colorbond, slate).
    • Overlap and seal in accordance with manufacturer and Australian Standards.
  4. Internal Finishing
    • Install light shafts, trims, and plasterboard for a seamless interior finish.

Roof Vent Installation

We install both passive and active roof ventilation systems to regulate heat and moisture buildup in roof cavities.

Vent types include:

  • Whirlybirds / Turbine Vents: Wind-driven for continuous airflow.
  • Solar-Powered Vents: Energy-free cooling for large roof spaces.
  • Ridge Vents & Gable Vents: Discreet options for heritage or high-end finishes.

Our ventilation process includes:

  1. Assessment of Roof Cavity Airflow Needs
    • Evaluate existing moisture levels and thermal performance.
  2. Strategic Placement
    • Position vents for maximum cross-ventilation and to prevent hot spots.
  3. Seamless Integration
    • Match vent colour and profile to roof for minimal visual impact.

Critical Waterproofing Considerations

  • Every skylight or vent penetration is sealed with a multi-layer waterproofing approach — mechanical flashing, high-performance sealant, and correct overlap sequencing.
  • We allow for building movement by using flexible flashing materials where necessary.
  • All work is tested under simulated rainfall before handover.

Why Choose Atomic Projects

  • Engineering-Led Detailing: Every penetration designed to maintain roof structural integrity.
  • Manufacturer-Approved Installers: Ensures your warranty remains valid.
  • Aesthetic Integration: Roof upgrades without compromising architectural appearance.
  • Leak Prevention Guarantee: Installed to the same standard as critical roof waterproofing works.

A professionally installed skylight or vent can last 20+ years, delivering better light, fresher air, and reduced energy costs — without introducing the leaks and defects common to poorly executed installations. Atomic Projects ensures your investment enhances both the function and lifespan of your building.
