Installation

Skylight in a tile roof

Who do you want cutting a hole in your roof? Your roofer, of course. No one knows more about roofs than a roofer. Having a trusted roofing contractor install your skylights will help you be the hero of your household. Installation begins on your roof and finishes in your living space.

Roof. For all skylights, first a hole is cut in the roof, then the skylight is attached and sealed with three layers of protection to prevent leaks.

Options for exterior work are curb mounted, pan flashed, or deck mounted. Your particular installation — and the time it takes — can be affected by roof pitch, interior light shaft depth and shape, and weather. Most skylights take from half a day to three days for installation.

Interior Skylights

Interior. All skylights finish with interior work. The main tasks inside your building are to properly attach drywall and paint around the new skylight. This work generally takes about half a workday to complete.

With flat ceilings, a lightwell of drywall is built between your skylight in the pitched roof and your flat ceiling. This does add to the installation time.

Sun Tunnels® are simpler and faster to install. Two holes, a diffuser and trim ring, and the installation is complete in about 90 minutes.

Your roofer takes every precaution to keep your home clean and free of dust. Plastic sheeting on floors and as curtain walls will keep debris and dust to a minimum.

Replacing a Skylight

The ideal time to replace an existing skylight or arrange for new installation is when you have your home re-roofed. Your roofer can ensure a watertight seal, match the roof warranty to the skylight warranty, and roll all the costs into one estimate.

Sunlight Fun Facts! Did you know?

  • Bright light regulates the suprachiasmatic nucleus clock, which is known by most as our body’s internal clock. This clock keeps our bodies set to the correct time.
  • Electric lighting accounts for one-fifth of the total electrical energy used in the U.S.
  • Students perform significantly better in environments that are lit with natural, rather than artificial, light. The study, one of the largest of its kind, tracked test scores for 22,000 students in California, Colorado, and Washington. Researchers report a 26 percent higher learning rate in reading and 20 percent higher in math in rooms with the most natural light. Source: Heschong Mahone Group
  • 20% of our population suffer varying degrees of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Individuals with SAD may experience emotional depression, a drop in physical energy, an increased appetite, and an increased need for sleep. Lack of sufficient daylight is directly linked to SAD.
  • As you age, the lenses of your eyes thicken and the pupils shrink in size, causing your eye to adapt much more slowly to changing light conditions. Researchers McFarland and Fisher reported that to accommodate the adaptation of the aging eye, the amount of light required for visual acuity doubled for every 13 years after the age of 20. It is clear that softer, natural light equals better vision.
  • American homeowners said if they had a choice of accessories for the ultimate dream bathroom, No. 1 on the list would be a skylight to bathe the bathroom with more natural light.
  • Sunlight heals a variety of skin problems. A bit of sun, 15 minutes or less on a regular basis, may help control eczema, acne, psoriasis, and even dandruff. UV rays interfere with the proliferation of abnormal skin cells that trigger eczema and psoriasis. Researchers are working to pinpoint more precisely how UV rays affect the skin’s immune system.
  • American companies lose as much as $22.8 billion each year to lost productivity resulting from poor ventilation.

  • Studies comparing natural daylighting to conventional electric lighting show students who attended elementary schools where natural daylighting is used have better attendance, better dental records, and grew more – 3/4” taller over a 2 year period.
  • People need vitamin D for calcium to be absorbed by the body to strengthen teeth and bones and other tissue to maintain a healthy skeleton throughout life. Two sources of vitamin D are diet and sunlight. In healthy human bodies, 80% of vitamin D is developed through exposure to natural light. A vitamin D deficiency could result in the brittle-bone disease osteoporosis, which affects mostly women.
