bdlngton Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I know ViLuMa does that but I've not had them do it for me. I have had them do other things primarily related to doors and windows. They have a branch in Riberas called Vidrios de la Ribera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimanjome Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Just a caution about the skylights--whoever you have install them, do NOT get the big sheet of tinted, thick glass that is cemented into the roof. When I bought our house (in the winter) I had no idea exactly how much those pieces of glass would act like magnifying glasses and increase the heat in our home. My first hot season in the house I measured 110F on the floor in the area directly beneath the glass skylights, and 103F in a circle around that area. Incredibly uncomfortable, and our internal house temp was in the high 90sF. I had all 7 of the 1 meter square sheets of glass removed, and, in place I had "casitas" installed. They look like concrete boxes turned upside-down with glass blocks on all 4 sides, east-west-north-south. That reduced the internal temp of my home down to about 83F. Then when I had the roof repainted white my internal daytime temps average about 77F in May and June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Skylights eventually leak. Then you have a mess on your hands and your roof already has a hole in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do, but certainly not all. We have had 5 in our home for 10 years and not a drop has ever leaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 I have had two rather large skylights since 2006. So far no leaks. But we check for potential problems and would use caulking compound should we find a potential fault. And, yes, eventually I will probably have a leak or three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 There was one in our house when we bought it and the smartest thing we did was get rid of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapalence Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 The had to drill a hole less than 1 inch across for the wiring for our solar panels. Granted, our house isn't large but there was concrete dust from one end of the house to the other. I can't imagine the mess from installing a skylight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
