ABSTRACT:
A self flashing dual pane skylight for flush mounting on a roof having an inclined slope is disclosed. The skylight is preferably rectangular and is made up of upper and lower light transmitting panes having two mutually opposed side edges and opposed top and bottom edges. The upper pane preferably contains a convexly curved dome. The panes are separated by spacer means secured between them located parallel to the outer perimeter edges of the panes and spaced inwardly from these edges a predetermined distance. A dead airspace between the upper and lower panes is formed inwardly of the spacer means and a flashing channel is formed around the outer perimeter between the panes outwardly of the spacer means. Flashing means is secured in the flashing channel by a resilient sealing matrix. The flashing extends outwardly from the channel a predetermined distance to form a continuous flashing border for attaching the skylight to the roof. The flashing in the channel is surrounded by the sealing matrix and is separated from the spacer a small distance to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the skylight relative to the flashing. The skylight is preferably made of an high impact plastic. Installation can be easily accomplished by placing the edges of the skylight over an opening in a roof, nailing the flashing to the roof structure and shingling over the flashing and perimeter edges of the skylight at the top and sides thereof.
