What are Deck Mount Skylights?
Deck mount skylights are a specific type of skylight installation where the skylight unit is mounted directly onto the surface of the roof deck. They are a popular choice for many homes due to their sleek design and efficient installation process.
What is the difference between curb and deck mounted skylights?
Unlike curb-mounted skylights, which are installed on a raised frame, deck mount skylights sit flush with the roofline. This design typically involves a lower profile, blending seamlessly with the roof for a more integrated and aesthetically pleasing look.
How are deck mount skylights installed? Do they require flashing?
Deck mounted skylights are fastened directly to the roof decking material. The installation process requires precision to ensure a watertight seal, making professional installation recommended. They are usually surrounded by flashing – a weatherproofing material that helps to divert water away from the skylight and prevent leaks. There are also deck mounted self-flashing skylights, which do not require rubber flashing underlayments.
