Types of Skylights We Install

Our roofing experts may inspect the skylight flashing, check the skylight’s insulation, replace the weather seals – or replace the skylight itself – if it is beyond repair or the actual culprit. High quality metal flashing needs to be installed around the skylight to keep it from leaking. Unfortunately, even the best flashing is prone to wear out much sooner than other roofing elements.

We’ll inspect the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air may flow up freely from inside the structure and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation sometimes results, which brings you right back to the problem from above. We could replace the skylight’s weather seals – which provide a waterproof barrier to further support all the elements that keep your roof leak-free.

These lenses are set into a frame. A highly-reflective tube – The light collected is reflected through the tube to the interior fixture with diffuser lens. And an interior fixture.
