Types of Skylights

Fixed skylights do not open. They provide daylighting without ventilation and are lower in cost than venting units.

Venting skylights open manually or electrically to allow air circulation in addition to natural light. Velux offers solar-powered venting skylights that open and close automatically based on rain sensors.

Tubular skylights (Sun Tubes) use a small dome on the roof, a reflective tube through the attic, and a diffuser at the ceiling to deliver natural light into interior spaces without a full skylight opening. Available in 10-inch and 14-inch diameters.

Skylight Leak Causes and Repair

The 3 most common causes of skylight leaks are:

  1. Failed flashing: The flashing system around the skylight separates from the roofing or frame due to thermal movement, improper installation, or age.
  2. Condensation: Interior condensation forms on single-pane or poorly sealed skylights and appears as a water leak even when no exterior water is entering.
  3. Cracked or failed sealant: Sealant at the frame perimeter cracks over time and allows water entry.

XRoofing diagnoses the cause before recommending repair or replacement. Replacing sealant on a failed flashing system solves the wrong problem.

Energy Efficiency and UV Ratings

Modern skylights include Low-E glass coatings that reflect infrared heat while transmitting visible light. Velux Energy Star-certified skylights carry U-values as low as 0.27, allowing specification for either solar heat rejection (southern exposure) or solar heat collection (northern exposure).

Frequently Asked Questions

Call XRoofing or submit a contact request online foryour free roof estimate. We will schedule a visit at your convenience, inspect your roof, and provide a written estimate with all of your options clearly explained.

Does a skylight installation require a building permit?

Yes. Skylight installation that involves cutting a new structural opening requires a building permit in most jurisdictions. XRoofing manages the permit process as part of every skylight installation project.

Quality skylights from manufacturers including Velux and Fakro last 20 to 30 years. Flashing systems typically require inspection and servicing every 10 to 15 years.
