How to Install a Frameless Skylight - Saris-Extensions

hrough the years we have seen mistakes and poor practices in Skylight installations, which lead to many issues in the following months and years.
We feel obligated to share our experience and knowledge with you to avoid these issues. That’s why we have prepared a detailed “Step-by-Step Installation Guide” for a professional Skylight installation.
We can, and do guarantee the quality of the glazing unit itself, but we can’t take responsibility for the installation, it falls on the builder/fitter’s shoulders.
You are not required to fully comply with our guidance below, however, we recommend you to follow it as fully as possible.

nice details, thanks for sharing. I like the end where it shows the caulk lines underneath.

I would have glued a drip nose profile to prevent water from even reaching the bead of sealant.

Freaking love a skylight

Would this be the exact same method for EDPM? I've searched YT & can only find videos of these types of skylights being installed on GRP & every EDPM roof seems to use skylights with trims/flashing around the sides. Cheers.

What is the fall across the 800mm rooflight, it looks about 30mm to 0.

[@sarisextensionstest8644]

10 cm per meter

[@arbit3r]

@@sarisextensionstest8644 1:40 40mm per meter correct fall so 30 mm is right for an 800mm wide skylight.

Can the 6° lean be across the width of the unit, or does it have to be the length? Looks like it is across the width in the video?

[@kieranardaen-webb9913]

Does these sky lights fit on to felt finished roofs?

[@zandersthorn476]

Could the glass be lifted by hand if you don't have suction pads ??

[@londonskylights8559]

Yes, it can. For bigger sizes, please use suction pads to avoid damage.

[@williamosullivan3553]

What size was this skylight??

[@skylightsone3959]

The video was shot a long time ago, we can't remember the exact size of the unit, sorry.

I've not fitted my window yet but I will be over the next few weekends. Can you clarify the degrees of fall required on the glass? The website stipulates 8-10° as a minimum, but the video says around 6°.
Also, a the instructions, guides and diagrams show the use of structural adhesive as well as the sealant, could you clarify the actual requirements?
Thanks.

[@sarisextensionstest8644]

6° degrees. We have updated it on our website.
