ABSTRACT:
An improved roof ventilator is disclosed for venting an attic space while simultaneously admitting sunlight into same. One version of the invention comprises a base/flange having a centrally extruding conduit therethrough, a louvered hood member connectable to the conduit wall to achieve a fixed elevation thereby creating a baffle which restricts water infiltration. The hood further comprises a translucent oriel which is self-aligning to the conduit opening upon the installation of the hood to the base/flange. Another version of the invention comprises the oriel of the hood and the base/flange conjoined with a trim collar to form a skylight only. Used in pairs, the first skylight member is installed to the exterior of a pitched roof with the trim collar elevated within the roof structure. The second member, having a smaller diameter trim collar, is installed from the interior and mated to the first member whereas both collars telescopingly communicate to adapt to the various thicknesses of roof structures. The interior member is then rigidly fastened to the ceiling thereby self-aligning both oriels for the admittance of sunlight into a finished living space.
