Filling out the Order Form

Thank you for considering Maxim Skylights for your Airstream or travel trailer. Please see the PDF Order Form link* that provides the standard sizes, glazing options and frame finishes for the square and rectangular skylights. As not all Airstreams have two skylights, please check only the appropriate dimension box when completing the form. If you require sizes or glazing colors not listed above, please specify your selection or flange size in the blank fields. The checklist also includes a rendering of the skylight, an Airstream roof, and a diagram illustrating how the skylight will be mounted to the existing roof flange. Clearly indicated is the area where sealant between the skylight and roof flange is required and where fasteners are to be installed in each pre-positioned hole in the skylight frame.

 

Maxim Skylights has standardized the dimensions and glazing colors of both the square and the rectangular skylights to fit your Airstream model ranging from the 1990’s to 2024. We have been providing replacement Airstream skylights for many years and have a vast amount of information on sizing but by standardizing the sizes and glazing options we are able to keep lead times and manufacturing costs down. And as always, we are happy to discuss options with you to make sure your skylights are perfect for your application. Please email info@maximskylights.com to inquire about pricing. We will manufacture to any size, glazing configuration or frame finish at an additional cost of $75.00 per skylight  

 

SIZING:

Square:

22.75” X 22.75”

(inside skylight frame dimension)

 

Rectangular:

17.75” X 26.25”

(inside skylight frame dimension)

Standard Glazing Options:

The polycarbonate glazing is made up of three layers: one outer dome, one inner dome and an innermost flat panel that are all permanently sealed together with a vulcanizing sealant tape. The “Light Gray/Clear/Clear” option is transparent and will allow more direct light and heat through. Dark Bronze (25% vlt) is available as a special order, but darker tints do not necessarily help with solar heat control. The “White/Clear/Clear” option is translucent and while you cannot see through it, this option will provide a more diffused light and much better heat gain protection. High Light Transmission White (68% vlt) is also available as a special order. And if ordering a special glazing combination just multiply the visible light transmission values (VLT) together to arrive at the approximate total light transmission.    

 

Option #1 – Transparent (see through) Glazing:

LIGHT GRAY Outer Dome (50% vlt) | CLEAR (92%) Inner Dome | CLEAR (92%) Flat innermost panel

(overall light transmission ≈ 42%)

 

Option #2 – Translucent (cannot see through) Glazing:

STANDARD WHITE Outer Dome (27% vlt) | CLEAR (92%) Inner Dome | CLEAR (92%) Flat innermost panel

(overall light transmission ≈ 23%)

Standard Frame Options:

The frame finish, Clear Anodized, has a matte silver finish which has undergone an electrolytic process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. The anodized finish is much stronger and has a matte finish that will not peel, crack, or chip like an applied finish. Unfortunately, we no longer offer a white powder coat finish.

To learn more about Frame Finishes, see our main Skylight Frame Finish page. (Note: we do not offer a color matching option at this time for Airstream Skylights.)

Please keep in mind the new skylight will fit over this existing vertical flange (“roof curb”) like a shoebox lid. Just apply a bead of sealant to the top of the Airstream roof curb, set the skylight on the roof curb, center the skylight over the opening, install fasteners in each prepositioned hole, and install fasteners set to the depth of the frame only. Do not overtighten, bend the frame or tighten the frame all the way to any given side. This will ensure the skylight is properly centered.

If no signature is requested, FedEx will leave your packages at your door and this is not always a good option. Maxim continues to offer direct and indirect signature services at no additional charge but please confirm signature preference at time of order. If no option is chosen Maxim will note your shipment as “No Signature Required”. At time of shipment from Maxim we will include your email in the FedExGround tracking system so you will receive tracking updates from time the label is printed to delivery at your door.

Please confirm if a signature is required upon delivery by FedEx

 At any time that you would like to proceed please just send us an email and we will issue an invoice through PayPal and include a copy of your sales order and product checklist that indicates the details of your skylight(s). We must have the following to enter your order:

  • Full name
  • Shipping address
  • Contact phone number
  • Email address
  • FedEx Signature option
  • Year/Model of Airstream

 Upon payment your sales order will enter production. By paying us you will agree that all the information is accurate. Lead times vary but we will confirm lead time at time of every order.

For sizes other than the standard noted above, please see below for measuring options:

  1. Provide the outermost “Outside Vertical Flange” dimension of the vertical flange on your existing roof. This vertical flange rises from your Airstream roof and is bent inward but please provide the outer vertical dimension.

OR

  1. Provide the “Inside Skylight Frame” dimension of our new skylight as shown on the rendering. It is important that you are comfortable with this dimension and we suggest it be a minimum ¼” larger than the outside vertical flange dimension for proper clearance/wiggle room.

 Thank you and please email us at info@maximskylights.com if we can help or with any questions.
