Sizing questions
What is the difference between daylight size and roof opening?
I am measuring my skylight from the outside. What do I order?
You already have a Skylux curb
You are creating a new roof opening
You have a curb from another brand
Sloping curbs
With a sloping curb, the roof opening is larger than the daylight size of the skylight or flat roof window at the top. The profile becomes narrower towards the top, bridging a wider roof opening to a smaller daylight product. The right choice when the existing roof opening does not match the daylight size. Available in PVC, polyester and metal.
