Most VELUX skylights use glass with a 99.9% UV protection. Tempered glass provides 95% UV protection, and laminated glass provides a 83% UV protection.
Fading to some degree could occur even with UV protection. VELUX recommends installing a skylight shade for furniture protection during peak daylight hours. Learn more on the VELUX Skylight Shade page
