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. We’ll inspect the skylight’s flashing – which is the metal component installed specifically to prevent projecting roof elements from developing leaks around their sides.

We’ll inspect the skylight’s insulation – because without enough insulation – or no insulation at all – warm air could flow up freely from inside the house and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation recurrently forms, which brings you right back to the problem from above. In some cases, rain could also infiltrate poorly insulated places, destroying more insulation as it leaks through. Luckily, this is an easy fix that may take only a few minutes.

Our pros may even have to replace the entire skylight itself. Minor damage will grow worse over time and then one direct hit from a larger stone may cause a crack. There are many new skylight options to choose from with modern skylights. Skylights come in a range of different shapes – including flat, arched, domed and pyramid. Just like their name indicates, fixed skylights are ‘fixed’ and do not open for air ventilation. Basically, they’re totally sealed closed on the roof. Ventilated skylights are spotless for kitchen and bathrooms, as they also aid in removing excess moisture and keep a constant flow of fresh air in the living area. In addition to that, a ventilated skylight also illuminates the place.

Tubular skylights are a product that provides natural light to both residential and commercial indoor areas. Tubular skylights consist of three main components: A roof-mounted light collector – mounted on the roof and typically consists of a parabolic lens which allows for light collection throughout the day, as well. 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. This interior fixture will be supplied with a combined electrical light as a backup for cloudy days or at night. Also, skylights can either be ‘fixed’ or ‘venting’ – meaning they may open to allow in fresh air or vent unwanted indoor air pollutants outside, too. Did you know that venting skylights may be solar powered, as well?

Expressway Specializes In Seamless Skylight Replacements

Homeowners should take into consideration maintaining a roof, flashing and shingles to avoid having skylight leaks that could be highly problematic to your skylight and dwelling. During the colder months, water typically freezes and expands in unmaintained skylights – which causes problems. This expansion may cause gaps to grow – and after a few seasons of continuous expansion and contraction, the owner can see that the skylight could start to leak as it allows water to enter. Another reason you may need a new skylight replacement is flawed craftsmanship of what you have there now. As a projecting roof feature, they are more apt to problems like cracks or leaking than other spots of a home’s roof. The likelihood of discovering that your skylight is leaking increases with its frequency of use. A client will observe their skylight is leaking every time it rains. No matter what the time of year, a skylight is a great and cost-effective way to let essential natural light into your your structure. More often than not, skylights may be fixed.

The window that makes up the skylight must be fitted precisely to the opening made for it. Or leaks can occur within a few weeks or months when the flashing begins to fail due to water insertion. High humidity could also lead to the development of condensation that drips down the glass of your dwelling’s skylight. Luckily, an indoor humidity leak is easy to fix. An anti-fogging product can eliminate the condensation build-up and ensure that moisture will no longer condense. Still, it’s a good plan to get your skylight studied by a certified skylight tech.
