Installation of the Skylight
After the opening in the roof has been created and the wooden upstand has been made, mounted, and provided with roofing, it is time to install the Skylight.
Applying Glazing Tape:
- Apply the glazing tape on the support beam (batten) mounted on the inside of the upstand.
Applying Silicone Sealant:
- Apply silicone sealant on top of the upstand, where the roofing is applied.
- Preferably spread two lines of silicone sealant in the middle of the upstand beams on all four sides.
Installing the Skylight:
- Place the Skylight carefully using suction cups. Make sure there are enough people to help with larger Skylight sizes.
- For Skylights weighing more than 150 kg, it is recommended to use a crane with a suction cup.
Sealing with Silicone Sealant:
- After placing the Skylight, finish the outside under the edge with silicone sealant. This ensures a watertight seal and prevents leaks.
Note: Make sure to follow all steps carefully to ensure the correct installation and sealing of the Skylight. If in doubt, contact a professional installer.
