Skylight Installation

When choosing a skylight location, consider the room’s orientation to maximize natural light. Avoid areas with structural obstructions and prioritize spaces that benefit from increased illumination, like kitchens or living rooms. Ensure the placement doesn’t cause glare or overheating by considering sun paths. Additionally, assess roof slope and accessibility for maintenance. Professional assessment ensures optimal placement, enhancing both aesthetics and energy efficiency.

While skylights can be installed on most roof types, certain factors may pose challenges. Flat or low-pitched roofs may require specialized skylight models or additional waterproofing. Metal roofs can involve intricate flashings, and very steep roofs may complicate access and installation. However, with professional expertise, these challenges can be addressed. Consulting a specialist ensures your roof type is compatible and installation is seamlessly executed.

Skylights generally have a lifespan of 20-30 years, depending on material quality, installation, and maintenance. Replacement might be necessary if you notice drafts, leaks, or condensation, indicating seal deterioration. Cracks, discolored glazing, or significant wear also signal the need for replacement. Regular inspections help identify issues early, ensuring timely replacement and continued efficiency, maintaining your home’s comfort and structural integrity.
