Skylight installation has definitely come a long way. Where it was difficult before, it is now so easy that a contractor can do it, and so can you. In the past, a wood curb would have to be built in the roof after the whole was cut for the skylight. This allowed the skylight to sit in something and hold up for more than fifteen minutes. This often created a problem because every time the skylight was replaced, the curb would have to be removed and rebuilt usually because it wouldn’t fit perfectly with the new window design. But with new skylight technology, this isn’t the case at all. When you cut the hole for the skylight, you are cutting a hole for the window and frame in one piece. No wood curb is needed because the frame is actually built to support itself without the assistance of anything. In a sense, the wood curb is already in the frame of the window and installation involves just putting in the window. It can’t get much easier than that. The installation of skylights is not nearly as tough as it used to be. It has been recreated to work better for you.
