Questions and Answers for Fakro FX306T - 22-1/2 in x 45-1/2 in. Fixed Deck Mount Skylight with Tempered LowE Glass

A:  I believe you are referring to the flashing kit. There are 2 types, the first one is a low-profile flashing kit which is for shingle/flat roof coverings (model #: EL 304). The second type is a high-profile flashing kit which is for metal/corrugated roofs (model #: EH 304). Both flashing kits are available on Home Depot's website and will come up when you search those model numbers.

A:  Low-E glass is an energy efficient glass that works to block ultraviolet rays in the summer time to keep the heat out, but also absorbs the ultraviolet rays in the winter time to permit the heat into the room. The name of the Low-E coatings may vary depending on the glass manufacturer even for the same parameters. The different versions of Low-E coatings evolve along with current market requirements.

A:  NO ! - Deck mounted skylights can only be mounted in one direction as per design. Bottom of the skylight has a seal that drains out any condensation water. This seal needs to be always on the bottom of the slope.

A:  Fakro FX deck mounted skylights cannot be turned and have to be installed in the way that is specified. There is an internal gasket system that is built into the bottom of the frame along the 22.5" which is used to collect any condensation water and drain it outside. If you are interested in being able to turn the skylights how you want, I would recommend our Fixed Curb Mounted Skylight (FXC) which is also available on Home Depot. The FXC offers a 360 degree and is able to be installed in any direction you wish. If you have any further questions please contact me directly at service@fakrousa.com
