We have an old plexiglass skylight on our (flat) rubber membrane roof. I would like to replace it with a better quality vented glass unit. I really only need the vented part so that a couple of times a year, I can open the skylight and access the roof.
I have googled a fair bit but still have several questions:
- What brands offer the best quality and selection in glass skylights?
- Who is best to install it? (dealer/manufacturer? carpenter? roofer?) (remember it is not a new installation just a replacement)
- Is double paned, low-E glass the right option if I want to minimize heat loss in winter and heat gain in the summer? (we are in New England)
- What do I need to be watchful of regarding an installation into an existing rubber membrane roof?
Thanks
