Skylights for Northern California Homes and Projects

We carry the full VELUX catalog, which includes fixed skylights, manually venting models, and solar-powered venting units. Fixed skylights are a permanent, low-maintenance source of natural light with no moving parts. Venting models allow passive airflow in addition to light, which is useful in warmer climates like Vacaville and Fairfield. Solar-powered venting units operate on a self-contained solar panel and require no electrical wiring. As an authorized VELUX supplier, you have access to every series and configuration, not just what a general retailer stocks on a shelf.

Yes. VELUX produces the TZR Wildfire Sun Tunnel, which uses fireproof tempered glass designed for properties in fire-prone areas. This is a priority product for customers in Napa, Vacaville, and the surrounding foothills where wildfire exposure is a real concern. Standard skylight glazing is not always rated for those conditions, so specifying the correct product for your zone matters. When you visit our showroom or place an order, our team will confirm whether your location and project call for wildfire-rated glazing as part of the overall specification review.

Certain VELUX solar-powered venting skylights may qualify for federal tax credits. Eligibility depends on the specific model, your project type, and current federal guidelines, so we recommend confirming the details with your tax advisor before finalizing your purchase. We can provide the product documentation and specifications you would need to support that conversation. The tax determination is something your financial or tax professional is best positioned to advise on based on your individual situation.

No. Western Window & Door is a supply-only business. We do not provide installation, repair, or maintenance services for skylights or any other product we carry. All labor is managed independently by your contractor or builder. If you do not have an installer, we can point you toward referral contractors in the Northern California area based on relationships we have built over the years. Our focus is entirely on product sourcing, accurate specifications, and ensuring you receive the right unit for your project and climate zone.

Title 24 sets specific requirements for U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) values, and those thresholds vary by climate zone. The Central Valley heat corridor, which covers Vacaville, Fairfield, and Dixon, places particular demands on glazing performance. Coastal and transitional zones like Napa and Benicia have their own requirements. When you bring your project details to our showroom, including rough opening dimensions and any documentation your building department has provided, our team will help match the right VELUX model and glazing package to meet code for your specific location.

Yes. Our 900 sq. ft. professional showroom at our Vacaville facility is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and by appointment on Saturdays. The showroom is designed to give homeowners and contractors a hands-on look at products and series so you can evaluate options before committing to a specification. In-person visits are especially useful for larger projects, because reviewing the product and talking through the specs with our team tends to produce better outcomes than ordering from a catalog alone.

The more detail you bring, the faster we can match you to the right product. Useful information includes your rough opening dimensions, roof pitch, ceiling type (flat, vaulted, or dropped), and any Title 24 documentation your building department has provided. If you are in a wildfire-prone area, noting your fire zone designation is also helpful. For contractors, having the project address and intended installation timeline on hand allows us to give you an accurate picture of lead times. Our team will work through the specs with you to confirm the model, glazing package, and any accessories needed for a complete order.
