Standard Glazing Options:

Glazing Options

Polycarbonate glazing consists of three layers:

  • Outer dome
  • Inner dome
  • Flat panel

Option #1: Transparent Glazing

  • Light Gray Outer Dome (50% VLT) | Clear Inner Dome (92%) | Clear Flat Panel (92%)
    Overall Light Transmission: ≈ 42%

 

Option #2: Translucent Glazing

  • Standard White Outer Dome (27% VLT) | Clear Inner Dome (92%) | Clear Flat Panel (92%)
    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.)

Installation Tips

The new skylight is designed to fit securely over your existing vertical flange (“roof curb”), similar to a shoebox lid. Follow these steps for proper installation:

 

  1. Remove the Old Skylight and Caulking: Carefully remove the existing skylight and any old caulking. Leave the caulking beneath the riveted curb intact, removing only what is accessible and close to it.
  2. Apply Sealant: Run a continuous bead of sealant along the top edge of the roof curb to create a secure seal.
  3. Position the Skylight: Gently place the skylight onto the roof curb, ensuring it is centered over the opening. Use the prepositioned holes to secure it with fasteners.
  4. Tighten Fasteners: Tighten screws only to the depth of the skylight frame. Avoid overtightening, as this can bend the frame or misalign the skylight.
  5. Optional Exterior Sealant: For additional waterproofing, you may apply sealant around the skylight’s exterior edge. Be careful not to block the weep holes beneath the top metal trim, as these are essential for proper drainage.

 

📏 Custom Size Measuring Guidelines

  1. Outer Vertical Flange Dimension: Provide the outermost dimension of your existing roof flange.

Or

  1. Inside Skylight Frame Dimension: Minimum ¼” larger than the outside vertical flange dimension for proper clearance.
