Types of Curb Mount Skylights

Venting Skylights

• Electric Venting Skylights: Ideal for those seeking convenience and innovation, electric venting skylights open and close with the touch of a button, facilitating air circulation and reducing the need for air conditioning.

• Solar Powered Venting Skylights: These skylights use solar power to operate, making them an eco-friendly option. They also help in air circulation.

• Manual Venting Skylights: Perfect for those who prefer a hands-on approach, manual venting skylights offer simplicity and ease of use, allowing for manual operation to ventilate the space.

Fixed Skylights

• They are fixed and do not open, making them suitable for areas where ventilation is not a priority.

Skylight Accessories

• Flashing Kits: Essential for the proper installation of curb mount skylights on a sloped roof, flashing kits are available in aluminum for different roof types, including low profile shingle and high profile tile. These kits ensure a watertight seal and long lasting performance.

Selecting the Right Skylight

When choosing a curb mount skylight, consider the following factors:

• Purpose: Decide whether you need ventilation or if a fixed skylight will suffice. Venting skylights are great for bathrooms and kitchens where humidity and air quality control is essential.

• Operation: Consider whether manual, electric, or solar powered operation best suits your needs and lifestyle.

• Glass Type: Building codes usually require Laminated glass in out-of-reach applications, and some states (such as California and Minnesota) require Laminated glass in all applications.

• Energy Efficiency: Look for features like Low-E3 glass and insulated glass to help reduce energy costs and protect your interior from UV rays.

• Installation Requirements: Make sure to select the correct flashing kit for your roof type to ensure a successful installation.

By considering these aspects, you can select a curb mount skylight that not only enhances the beauty of your space but also contributes to its comfort and efficiency. Whether you're looking for advanced technology, energy efficiency, or durability against the elements, Roofing4US offers a variety of options to meet your needs.
