A deck-mounted skylight is one that is installed directly onto the roof, rather than onto a raised curb like some other skylights. The deck-mounted skylight is the most common form of skylight and can be found on homes and businesses everywhere. Because it sits low against the roof, the deck-mounted skylight creates a slick, modern profile.

Generally, deck-mounted skylights work best on sloped roofs, as opposed to flat, or nearly flat, roofs. Whatever material is used on your home's roof - be it asphalt shingles, metal or tile - deck-mounted skylights will fit right in.

Yes. The deck-mounted skylight will allow generous amounts of natural light to flood the space below, negating the need for the use of electric lighting during the day.

In our experience, leaks typically occur when the skylights are installed by the homeowner or a contractor with little or no experience installing skylights. Do yourself a favour and make sure you choose a contractor with a proven track record of successful skylight installations.

Yes, you can open deck-mounted skylights. Many different styles of deck-mounted skylights are available that can be opened either manually or remotely. Of course, if you want your skylights to not open, there are plenty of models that will remain fixed. 

The biggest benefit of deck-mounted skylights that open is that they will greatly enhance the ventilation in your home or business. This, in turn, will enable you to save even more money on your electric bill by allowing you to turn off fans and even the air conditioner from time to time.

They can be easier to install than curb-mounted skylights because there is no curb to build. That doesn't mean it's a DIY job. It's not. Because of the roof work required, this is a job only for a qualified professional.
