Selecting
The Most Reliable
Skylight Design...
The last thing you want with a new skylight
is leaks! Selecting the right skylight design
for your roof is the best way to assure many
years of reliable, weathertight protection.
Step-Flashed design
Of the three basic
skylight designs,
each has its
advantages,
but only
the stepflashed design avoids the
key design flaw that can cause leaks.
Advantages: Designed specifBest &
ically for shingle roofs; metal
Safest Leak
Protection! step-flashing protects against
leaks and should outlast roof;
no maintenance required
Disadvantages: Takes slightly longer to install
Curb-Mounted design
Advantages: May be required
by building code in certain
limited areas
Disadvantages:
Designed for flat
(not shingle) roofs;
no weather seal at
the curb; typically
uses cheap tar paper (which disintegrates over
time) to seal against leakage; often requires
ongoing maintenance
Quick Tip:
Flange-Mounted design
Advantages: Installs quickly
Disadvantages:
Relies on common
roof cement
(which lasts only
about 5 years) to
seal against
leaks; requires
ongoing maintenance
The most cost-effective
time to add skylights
is when you are having
your roof replaced.
HeavenScape®skylights make
installation fast, easy...and watertight!
HeavenScape®
Skylights
Which skylight would you rather install?
“Leading”
Brand
Easier Installation?
Ours:
YES
Theirs:
No
HeavenScape skylights are installed snugly into the deck and
secured with six wood screws through pre-drilled holes in the
frame. The “Leading” Brand requires that you first hammer clips
into place, and then the skylight is nailed on top of the deck.
®
Just 6 wood screws to install*
Brackets and nails required*
Bottom Apron Sealed To Shingles?
Ours:
YES
Theirs:
No
HeavenScape skylights include a butyl sealing strip that
seals the bottom apron to the surrounding shingles, which
eliminates a potential path for wind-driven rain. The
“Leading” Brand has no sealing strip.
®
Butyl rubber sealing strip
No sealing strip
Extra-Long Flashing?
Ours:
Longer, 12” step flashing
YES
Theirs:
No
The “Leading” Brand’s step flashing is only 9” long.
HeavenScape® skylights include 12” long aluminum step
flashing, for better protection against ice dams and heavy
rains—particularly with today’s larger shingle designs.
Shorter, 9” step flashing
Secured Weather Stripping?
Ours:
Encapsulated weatherstripping
YES
Theirs:
No
The “Leading” Brand’s design contains a separate piece
of weather stripping that is loosely attached (and may fall
out during installation). HeavenScape® skylights have
permanently encapsulated weatherstripping.
Loose weatherstripping
Stained And Sealed Beauty?
Ours:
Factory-finished frame
YES
Theirs:
No
With the “Leading” Brand, the work isn’t done after installation—get out the paint brush! HeavenScape® skylights
are beautifully stained and factory-sealed for years of
trouble-free performance (or, they can be painted to
match the room’s color scheme).
Bare wood frame
*Appropriate brackets, nails, and/or screws included with each skylight.
