What is a velux?

Just the best skylight made, bar none.

I just had new skylights put in when the roof was redone. They are
supposed to be good units but I'm not sure since the builder was the guy
up the road and when I asked for the paperwork couldn't come up with it.
lol I'm not likely to put in new ones. Even a Velux is not nearly as
good as what can be done with real insulation. After all, it *is* a
window.

As Clare pointed out, you risk losing the window if you insulate it
from below.
Even installing sun film on windows is dangerous. The whole front of
our office building is basically glass. Faces east. We had sun film
installed and within less than 2 weeks we had 6 broken windows.
Replaced the sealed units and film, no more failures (3 years ago)
These windows are about 4X10 feet or more.
