Can skylights withstand hail?

• <div><p>A skylight's ability to withstand hail depends on factors like material quality and thickness. Impact-resistant options, such as tempered or laminated glass, fare better against hail compared to standard glass. Proper installation and regular maintenance also contribute to their resilience. While smaller hailstones may not pose a significant threat, larger ones can cause damage. Consider skylight protection methods like covers or screens in hail-prone areas to enhance durability and minimize potential harm.</p></div>

Can I install a roof window or skylight on any type of roof?

• <div><p>Roof windows and skylights can be installed on various roof materials, but skylights are usually the only option that you have if you have a flat roof or a roof with a slope under 15 degrees. In these cases, roof windows have too high of a risk of leaking to be suitable options. The specific installation requirements may vary, so it's important to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-window-replacement-contractor.htm">hire a window replacement contractor</a>. Certain types of roofs may not be ideal if they limit the size of the window or if they pose an issue with rainwater collecting around the area. </p></div>

How many years does a skylight last?

• <div><p>Skylights last an average of 15 years before requiring repairs and upgrades. If you're experiencing multiple issues with an older skylight, it may be time for a replacement. In most cases, however, professionals will be able to repair or replace individual parts of your skylight for less, such as the glass or the flashing.</p></div>

What is the most common problem with skylights?

• <div><p>Leaks are the top concern for skylights, often due to improper installation or worn-out seals. Over time, water can seep in and cause major damage to your home’s ceilings and walls. Other common issues include condensation, which leads to mold, as well as physical damage from weather or debris. If they’re not sealed properly, skylights can also bring unwanted heat in the summer or cold in the winter, affecting your home’s energy efficiency and tacking on extra dollars to your bills. </p></div>

Should I remove my skylight?

• <div><p>The decision to remove a skylight depends on your specific circumstances and preferences. There are several reasons why you might consider removing a skylight, such as extensive damage, a desire for better insulation, or the need to change the room's layout. Additionally, if the skylight is causing leaks or other issues, it may be necessary to remove and replace it (which can incur additional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-skylight-installation-cost.htm">skylight installation costs</a>). It's important to assess your specific situation and consult with professionals if needed to make an informed decision.</p></div>

"Install was sloppy and seal edges were broken. Later I needed warranty service as the internal window seals were broken. They were fogging inside. Andy told me it was my problem and to call the manufacturer, Negletfully he did not record the order correctly and it took three shipments from the manufacturer to get the right size, then Andy said he would not come and replace them without charging me. Years later and I am still dealing with this mess of a company. Never again!"
