Mac Self-Flashing Skylights are designed for
use in renovation projects. They may also be used in new construction;
however, they should only be installed on roofs with a minimum slope of 20
degrees, and can only be used with asphalt shingles. Mac Self-Flashing
Skylights incorporate a thermally broken aluminum base frame, important in
our cold climate. This thermal break consists of a core of structural,
insulative material, which divides the warm inner portion of the aluminum
frame and the cold outer portion, thereby minimizing the degree of thermal
conduction. Mac Self-Flashing Skylights, as detailed in the diagram
section, do not require a curb. A thermally broken aluminum curb filled
with insulation, and incorporating flashing, is integral with the aluminum
base frame. When installing self-flashing skylights it is essential to use
self-adhesive-roofing underlayment to seal around the skylight, prior to
installation of re-installation of the adjacent asphalt shingles. |
