Natural Light Tubular Skylights were designed to be leakproof and maintenance free. The most crucial part of the installation is attaching and sealing the flashing on the roof to ensure a weather-tight seal. We provide step-by-step illustrated instructions to assist you. Visit our downloads page.
Installs on All Roof Types and Slopes
No matter what type of roof you have, we have a tubular skylight for you!
Asphalt Shingled Roofs
The most common roof type for tubular skylights. Depending on the slope of the roof, use the Pitched Roof Model for medium to steep slopes (10", 13" or 18") or the Flat Roof Model for low slope or flat roofs (10", 13" 18" or 21").
Tile Roofs
Most tile roof installations will require our moldable flashing skirt. To accommodate thicker tiles, use a Turret Extension to raise the dome 3" higher than the standard model.
Metal Roofs
For metal roofs, choose either our Curb Mount Model (10", 13, 18" or 21") where the tubular skylight is attached to a pre-built curb or our Flat Roof Model (10", 13, 18" or 21")
Foam Roofs
Choose from either our Flat Roof Model or Curb Mount Model for modified bitumen, built-up rubber membrane, vinyl or polyurethane foam.
Suspended Ceilings
For warehouses or factories with open ceilings, use our Warehouse Model available with either a flat roof or curb mount flashing.
Drop Ceilings
For offices that have a drop ceiling, use our custom designed Drop Ceiling Model that fits perfectly into standard acoustic ceiling grid systems.
