What Is a Curb Mounted* Skylight?
A curb is simply a wooden box that is built higher than the roof and flashed (sealed) to become part of the roof.
The skylight is then dropped over the curb—much like the lid of a shoe box—and attached from the outside.
*Required for roof slopes LESS than 3/12 (14°).
What Is Skylight Flashing?
VELUX EDL Fl. Kit Flashing is usually comprised of shaped metal in three components:
Head flashing—at the top of the skylight.
Sill flashing—at the bottom of the skylight.
Step flashing—interwoven with the shingles along the sides of the skylight.
Flashing seals the skylight against the harshest extremes of weather and makes either a deck mount skylight or a skylight curb part of the roof itself.
What Is a Deck Mounted Skylight?
A deck mount skylight—unlike a curb mount skylight—is simply attached directly to the roof deck.
The skylight is then flashed (sealed) to become part of the roof.
A VELUX skylight installed with a VELUX flashing kit is guaranteed leak-free for 10 years.
What Is MAGS BAR?
