Skylights are a means of beautifying your roof. They add colour to the house and make it look aesthetically complete. The only condition is that they need to be correctly installed. It helps to know the procedure for fixing a skylight properly. The first concern is the material, the most commonly used one being aluminium. After you buy bits of aluminium step flashing, a ten foot long right angle flashing and a rubber membrane roll, let the roll seal around a nail. The step flashing is in six sections that form ninety degree angles of 4 inches on each side. The right angled side forms a ninety degree hammer with the metal cutting snips for installing the flashing. Flashing needs to be done in steps and with intrinsic symmetry, which is the reason why the name step flashing has been ascribed to it. The process includes sticking the flashing to the bottom and the top of the flashlight, so that it overlaps a bit with the roof, and then seeing to it that the sides are taken care of in a balanced and visually enticing manner. Care is to be taken that the flashing on the sides extends up to the roof deck. It’s very easy to set it up, after a preliminary glance at the instructions for setting up. Flashings are the best way to get an aesthetic appeal, in a very easy way!
