A Deck Mount Skylight Installation Before the Roofing Installation.
Montessori School of Denver, a nationally recognized independent Montessori school, has recently been added to and remodeled. Including the addition of a brand new middle school.
Our part of the project was the skylight installation.

Tall curbs 
Ready for roof insulation
What We Did:
- Supply and install six VELUX FS M04 skylight on site built curbs with flashing and interior trim.
- Skylight Specialists, Inc. modified the basic skylight installation for this project. In the absence of an actual roof deck, to install these Velux deck mounted skylights, we constructed a curb. This brought the plane of the skylights high enough to allow for the added roof insulation, roof deck and shingles.
- Before placing the skylights on the curb we installed galvanized metal to trim out the interior of the curbs so it blended in with the corrugated metal roof deck. Placing the skylights on the curbs was the finishing touch.
Product Used:
- Six VELUX FS M04 deck mount skylights.
- Velux Skylights feature Neat Glass.
- Neat Glass uses the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away. A rain shower can leave skylights virtually spotless. Skylights will stay cleaner longer and will clean easier.It also reduces unwanted exterior noise by 25% over typical double pane glass.
Results:
- By working closely with the general contractor, we were able to complete our skylight installation at the most cost effective stage of the project. By not having to cut through the roofing to install the skylights, the roofers could come in afterwards and build the roof around the already flashed skylights to create a watertight structure.
