Skylight Installation in Manhattan, Kansas

Skylight Installation in Manhattan means roofing built for the Kansas climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Kansas heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Manhattan Roof Needs Skylight Installation

• Dark rooms that need the electric light - the skylight brings the daylight
• The rooms face the north - the skylight adds the light
• The hallways and the bathrooms are windowless - the solar tube adds the light
• You want the energy savings - the daylight reduces the electric use
• The roof is being replaced - the skylight is easier to add during the re-roof

Why Manhattan Roofs Need Skylight Installation

The natural light is the main reason. The Kansas sun is bright and the skylights capture it.

The thermal performance is the second reason. The low-E glass reflects the heat and the skylight does not add to the cooling load.

How We Do Skylight Installation in Manhattan

1. Inspect the roof and the framing - find the location and the structure
2. Cut the opening - the careful cut in the roof deck
3. Install the skylight - the unit with the low-E glass
4. Flash the skylight - the flashing seals the roof and the skylight
5. Finish the interior - the shaft and the trim for the finished look
