REMOVE BATTENS TO SUIT THROAT SIZE OF SKYLIGHT
|
1. Remove amount of tiles and cut tile battens, (box out if necessary),
to suit the measurement of the throat of your skylight. Position
at your chosen location on roof. Place skylight over opening on
roof, tray must sit under top row of tiles, tray should be sitting
on rafter and battens, nail or screw shoulder of tray to timber
underneath. Allow flexi duct to drop into roof cavity. Smear dobs
of silicon over screw heads to prevent leakage. Replace tiles over
shoulders, some of them will need to be cut to allow them to sit
flat. Press lead down over tiles at bottom of skylight.
2. Get inside roof cavity; line up duct with where you want ceiling
surround to be fitted into plaster, drive nail marker in the centre
of proposed square. Remove ceiling battens with saw and box out
if necessary. Working from underneath on ladder, place ceiling surround
in desired position and mark with pencil around outside of t-sect
upright, check if your pencil lines run symetrical with cornice.
Proceed to cut out plaster, so ceiling surround can fit snug inside
your square.

ROOF

EXTEND SLITS EXTRA 70MM AS ABOVE
|
1.Firstly get inside roof and drill hole into roof top for desired
positioning, same with plaster ceiling.With tin snips or shears,cut
roof iron the size of the throat of the skylight, making top cuts
extend an extra 70mm, so skylight slips under the top cuts on roof
and rests on sides. Cut back roof battens to match your skylight
throat size. Do not cut roof trusses as these are load bearing beams.
 |
Weather up corrigations on the lower side of roof
iron cut. Screw skylight flashing down onto roof iron, use
discretion to seal left and right hand top slits. Dob
silicon onto top of screws after fixing. Make sure you dispose
of any shavings, if left they could cause rusting.
|
Proceed with step 2, as per tile roof instructions above.

Pop rivot metal strap to upright of t-section on ceiling surround. Brace
to nearby roof timber, one or two straps per side.
2.Screw horizontally into the corners to secure flexible shaft.
3. Pull flexible shaft over t-section upright. Wrap duct tape around
to secure. Lastly, turn diffuser panel sideways and raise into hole, lower
