Types of skylights

Fixed skylights do not open and are usually the most economical. Venting skylights open for airflow and can be manual or motorized. Tubular skylights channel daylight through a reflective tube and suit small spaces such as hallways and closets. Low-E glazing can cut heat gain and glare while still letting in light.

What installation involves

Adding a skylight means cutting the roof deck and framing a new opening, so the work is more involved than swapping fixtures. It includes framing, flashing sized to the skylight and roof type, waterproofing, and finishing the interior light shaft. Installing a skylight during a roof replacement is often the smoothest time to do it because the flashing can be integrated with the new roof.

Why skylights leak

Most skylight leaks come from failed flashing or sealant around the frame, not from the glass. Old skylights may also have worn gaskets and degraded seals. A proper repair addresses the flashing, and in older units replacing the skylight can be a better long-term fix than resealing it again and again. For other leak sources, see roof repair.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a skylight to an existing roof?

Usually yes. It requires cutting into the roof and framing the opening, so it should be done by a roofing professional.

Should I replace or repair a leaking skylight?

If the skylight is newer and the flashing failed, repair may be enough. On older units, replacement is often the better long-term solution.

Do skylights make a room hotter?

They can add heat gain, but low-E glazing, shades, and placement choices reduce it.
