- hrough the years we have seen mistakes and poor practices in Skylight installations, which lead to many issues in the following months and years.
We feel obligated to share our experience and knowledge with you to avoid these issues. That’s why we have prepared a detailed “Step-by-Step Installation Guide” for a professional Skylight installation.
We can, and do guarantee the quality of the glazing unit itself, but we can’t take responsibility for the installation, it falls on the builder/fitter’s shoulders.
You are not required to fully comply with our guidance below, however, we recommend you to follow it as fully as possible.

nice details, thanks for sharing. I like the end where it shows the caulk lines underneath.
I would have glued a drip nose profile to prevent water from even reaching the bead of sealant.
How would u insulate the vertical sections? As per regs.. thanks
Ha Ha better you than me running the bead of caulking under the window...
Freaking love a skylight
Would this be the exact same method for EDPM? I've searched YT & can only find videos of these types of skylights being installed on GRP & every EDPM roof seems to use skylights with trims/flashing around the sides. Cheers.
Hi
Did you ever figure this out?
@@tc1420 I couldn't get an answer anywhere so I just decided to instal both my EDPM & window in a similar way as in this video. The only thing I did differently is rather than having the EDPM completely cover the very top horizontal face of the timber frame that the window is adhered to, I instead cut it back from the inside edge by an inch. In other words the EDPM rubber still laps up the vertical part of the timber frame, then turns 90 degrees to cover the top horizontal face but stops an inch before hitting the inside edge, which leaves an inch of exposed wood all the way around the inside edge of the frame.
My logic being that I wanted at least some area to be a direct bond between the window, sealant & wooden frame, rather than the frame only being bonded to EDPM, although I bonded the glass to both the timber & EDPM just to make sure. No idea if this was the correct thing to do but 2 years later all seems to be well with the 2 windows I installed.
I also painted the wooden frame on the inside bit that remains visible, where it meets the internal face of the window with rubber roofing paint as I suspected the windows may be prone to a bit of condensation during the winters & I was correct, so I'd also recommend treating this part of the timbers with something appropriate.
Thanks for the info. Really helpful.@northeastcorals
@@tc1420 No probs
Can the 6° lean be across the width of the unit, or does it have to be the length? Looks like it is across the width in the video?
What is the fall across the 800mm rooflight, it looks about 30mm to 0.
10 cm per meter
@@sarisextensionstest8644 1:40 40mm per meter correct fall so 30 mm is right for an 800mm wide skylight.
Nice informative video, please send me link where to buy sky light from thanks
Does these sky lights fit on to felt finished roofs?
Could the glass be lifted by hand if you don't have suction pads ??
Yes, it can. For bigger sizes, please use suction pads to avoid damage.
What size was this skylight??
The video was shot a long time ago, we can't remember the exact size of the unit, sorry.
I've not fitted my window yet but I will be over the next few weekends. Can you clarify the degrees of fall required on the glass? The website stipulates 8-10° as a minimum, but the video says around 6°.
Also, a the instructions, guides and diagrams show the use of structural adhesive as well as the sealant, could you clarify the actual requirements?
Thanks.
6° degrees. We have updated it on our website.
