Typical VELUX Curb Mount Skylight Replacement.
Curb mounted skylights are the most common of all skylights in the Denver metro area. Typically, acrylic domes around 2′ x 4′. And typically energy wasteful, noisy, and susceptible to hail damage.
An Odd Skylight, But a Typical Curb Mount Replacement:
This residence in Denver’s Skyland neighborhood had an old-style and unusual skylight. Built in 1913, the skylight represented the state of the art for the period. Ugly, wire-reinforced glass. Very poor energy efficiency. Poor sealant technology, but the best they had at the time.
And, check out the vent. This was pre-fan technology which of course let cold air right back into the room.
