    Answer This Question

    A:  Curb mounted skylights rough opening is the actual hole in the roof and the inside dimension of the curb. With that said most installers will put finished material up against the inside curb which will obstruct some visible glass generally another inch.

              Q:What is the best model velocimetry skylight to install into a metal panel roof?
              by|Sep 28, 2023
              1 Answer
              Answer This Question

              A:  If you select a VELUX curb mounted skylight, your roofer or installer will need to fabricate their own flashing onsite. (VELUX does not manufacture a metal roof flashing kit for our curb mounted series) If you were to choose a deck mounted skylight, we do have a have flashing system tailored to standing seam metal roofing material. If you would like to discuss this project with VELUX to determine the best approach, please call us @ 1-800-888-3589 and we will be happy to discuss your options.
