In Poland, skylight (okno dachowe) installation costs PLN 1,500–5,000 per unit installed. Fakro (a Polish manufacturer) and VELUX dominate the market. A standard Fakro FTS-V pivot window costs PLN 800–1,500, with installation labor at PLN 600–1,500. Premium models with electric opening and rain sensors cost PLN 2,500–5,000. Polish building standards (PN-EN 14351-1) require specific thermal and wind resistance ratings based on climate zone. Poland has one of the highest rates of pitched-roof skylight adoption in Europe, thanks to the widespread practice of converting attics (poddasze użytkowe) into living space. Installation during roof construction costs 30–40% less than retrofit.

What affects the cost?
- Skylight type — fixed is cheapest, solar-powered vented is most expensive standard option
- Size — standard sizes (21×27 to 30×46 inches) cost less than custom dimensions
- Roof type — asphalt shingles are easiest; tile, metal, and flat roofs cost more to cut and flash
How to save on skylight installation
- Choose fixed over operable — fixed skylights cost 40–50% less and have fewer leak points
- Claim tax credits — US solar-powered VELUX skylights qualify for the 30% federal solar tax credit
- Use standard sizes — custom dimensions cost 50–100% more than stock sizes
