  First, decide how large a skylight you would like; two, three or four smaller windows might be better than a significant one. Discuss through your needs with manufacturers or manufacturers. When it arrives, carefully read the installation instructions. Bear in mind that you're going to put a hole inside your roof, which could let in the rain when there is a hold up since you also don't know exactly the way the unit should be fitted or there's a few parts missing. Have tarpaulin and e ropes to hand, in case.
  
  Drive a sizable nail into the ceiling in which the skylight is to get. Wearing shoes with good grip is important. Climb onto the roof and locate the desired position and remove that roof slates. The skylight should never interfere with a ceiling hanger or maybe a purlin.
  
  Cut this tiling battens and amount out the frame size that will hold the skylight. Cut the rafters and put in trimmers in compliance with the manufacturer's directions. Look out for almost any wiring or cables. Cut away the plaster which has a saw and take this skylight from its box and take away the flashings and trims.
  
  Mark the positioning of the skylight relating to the ceiling and make certain one side of it fits adjacent to a ceiling joist. Drive a sizable nail through its middle. Remove the tiles and keep them close by. Cut the battens which includes a circular saw or a handsaw and then cut the rafters until they are trimmed correctly. Frame joints must be well nailed - use at the least four 90 mm nails in each case.
  
  Before sawing the hole inside plasterboard, cut deeply in the sheet from underneath which includes a knife. This will lessen the likelihood of the lining paper tearing. If you've made the opening the correct size, the brackets of the sides of the skylight should stand relating to the framing members.
  
  Stand the frame inside recommended position and fix it to the rafters and trimmers using brackets that will be provided. It has to be level across the roofing at both ends.
  
  Fit underneath flashing, bending it that you follow the contours of that tiles. Fit the aspect flashings, the top flashing or anything else. Refit the tiles within the skylight. You could use tile cutters or a carborundum wheel fixed in your circular saw for this. (If the latter is used, make sure you wear goggles and long protective clothing.) If you've followed the steps correctly, everyone in the room below won't become mineral water damaged. Read the manufacturer's recommendations carefully, then position your roof window and, when double checking it's proper, temporarily fix it to one of the rafters.
  
  Use a spirit level to make sure that the skylight is toned. If it is not necessarily, pack it up relating to the low side and then, using screws or screws, fasten it tightly inside position.
  
  The flashings are important, they are there to cease leaks and water damage developing between the skylight and the roof covering. They must get installed correctly and without the need of damage. When you are fitting the flashings to your roof slates, a wood block can be installed for beating the metal into position. skylight
