Solar Screens

Solar screens can be used on the exterior of the skylight to cut down on the heat and light transmission coming through the skylight.  They are built like fitted sheets and have a heavy duty bungee cord type elastic running around the edges to grab onto the skylight frame.  Sometimes, like with Curb Mount Skylights--there isn't much for them to grab onto--so we suggest using large washer with rubber backing to screw the hail guard to the frame where the screws are already in the rail.  This will make sure the wind doesn't tear it off the skylight.  On Self-Flashing skylights--the elastic will fit up under the frame where it goes back in.

Skylight Panels

We recommend fiberglass panels for overhead glazing.  The next best thing to fiberglass are the thicker polycarbonate or PVC panels--.060" or thicker. Thinner panels are better suited for window panels instead of roof panels.  The fiberglass and thicker polycarbonate hold up better on the roof.
