I put in 16 skylights in my poolroom back in 99, within five years they were starting to rot out. I replaced two of them when no one would help me out. Was told they had to be at least 15 degrees angled, mine are 13. The two I replaced are still in very good shape the others are falling apart. I was told the calk to seal the glass was changed at some time ago and that is why the newer ones don't leak. Now I have to change the rest of them at my own expense since no one would help me out before.

Peace of mind is priceless
Love our skylights, cheerful daylight clouds, admiring the moon at night. No leaks during heavy rain and winter snow. May install solar blinds to reduce sun streaming in room. Undecided but still have that option.

Purchased two fixed skylights to replace two older ones that had deteriorated. The difference in the amount of light showing through is fantastic.

Solar Blinds and Better Sound-quieting Upgrade
We bought these two months ago to replace our 20 year old Velux Skylights. The new ones have the Solar blinds with the wall mounted remote control that is synced to both of them. The new ones are even quieter than the old ones when it is raining hard outside. Very nice upgrade.
