Frequently Asked Questions About Sky Light
Is a permit required to install a fixed skylight?
In most Metro Vancouver municipalities, adding a skylight involves structural changes to the roof and therefore typically requires a permit. Roof pitch, flashing, drainage, and roofing material all affect approval. Providing detailed CAD drawings and compliance documents can streamline the process and reduce the risk of delays.
How energy-efficient are fixed skylights in a Vancouver climate?
Fixed skylights with proper double glazing, Low-E coatings, and sealed frames can significantly improve daylighting without major heat loss or gain. According to Natural Resources Canada, key features such as Low-E glazing and airtight seals are critical for skylights. Properly fabricated units maintain thermal performance and reduce unwanted energy transfer.
Can I install a fixed skylight on an existing roof without major renovation?
Yes — it’s possible, but conditions must be evaluated carefully. Issues such as roof age, structural support, existing insulation, and roof pitch must all be assessed. If the roof is older or the framing unde r-designed for additional opening, reinforcement may be required.
Are fixed skylights prone to leaks?
Leaks are less likely if the skylight is well-fabricated, flashed correctly, and the roof is in good condition. One article emphasises how poor installation or flashing can compromise roof integrity and lead to persistent water intrusion. Choosing sealed framing, professional detailing, and drainage-ready design greatly reduces risk of leaks.
What kind of maintenance does a fixed skylight need?
Fixed skylights are low-maintenance compared to venting types, but still benefit from periodic checks. You should inspect the external surface for debris, check seals and flashing annually, and make sure the interior glaze is clean for optimal light. Good fabrication and framing reduce maintenance needs significantly.
