Types of Skylights We Install

There are often four major places we look first to fix that leaky skylight of yours. 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 could flow up freely from inside the residence and cause condensation. When insulation touches the glass, condensation often forms, which brings you right back to the problem from above. In some cases, rain will also infiltrate poorly insulated spaces , destroying more insulation as it leaks through. Luckily, this is an easy repair that may take only a few minutes.

We may even have to replace the entire skylight itself. Let us fix your leaking skylight today! There are many new skylight options to choose from with modern skylights. There are three main types of skylights: ventilating (generally called “roof windows”), fixed and tubular. 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 may work as a source of ventilation of air and light. In addition to that, a ventilated skylight also illuminates the space.

Tubular skylights are a product that provides natural light to both residential and commercial indoor places. Tubular skylights consist of a few 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 could 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 can be solar powered, too?

Does Your House need a New Skylight To Be Installed?

If you would like to bring down the potential costs of a costly fix or replacement, it is optimal for you to keep your current skylight clean and well-maintained from the time of its first replacement. During the colder months, water typically freezes and expands in unmaintained skylights – which causes harm. This cycle could cause gaps to grow – and after a few seasons of continuous expansion and contraction, you may detect that the skylight could start to leak as it allows water to intrude. Another reason you may need a new skylight replacement is shoddy building of what you have there now. As a projecting roof feature, they are more given to problems like cracks or leaking than other areas of a home’s roof. That’s not to say a skylight is more bothersome than they’re worth, but the bad climate Southampton, New York weather may expedite breakage. A client could detect their skylight is leaking every time it rains. A skylight will truly add excellent ambiance to a spot. However, if the skylight repair may cost thousands of dollars, we can consider building a new one.

The window that makes up the skylight must be fitted correctly to the opening made for it. If the skylight fitting is not connected correctly, you may experience leaks quickly. High humidity may also lead to the development of condensation that drips down the glass of your residence’s skylight. Luckily, an indoor humidity issue is easy to fix. An anti-fogging material may eliminate the condensation build-up and ensure that moisture may no longer condense. Still, it’s a good objective to get your skylight tested by a highly-skilled skylight tech.
