Skylight Integration for Metal Roofs in Georgia

Skylight Integration with Metal Roofs in Georgia: Natural Light Without the Leaks

Adding skylights to your metal roofing can bring in daylight, reduce energy use, and create a better indoor environment. But poor installation leads to leaks, rust, or structural failure—especially in Georgia’s storm-prone climate.

At Roof Nuts GA, we specialize in skylight integration for industrial metal roofs. We install curb-mounted and self-flashing skylights with weatherproof detailing that protects your investment and enhances your space.

Why Skylight Integration Must Be Done Right

Georgia weather is no joke. Between high winds, driving rain, UV exposure, and thermal expansion, rooftop openings are one of your building’s most vulnerable areas.

Common risks of bad skylight installs:

• Leaks around fasteners or flashing

• Condensation or fogging

• Rusting or panel degradation

• Water ponding near curbs

• Voided roof warranties

We prevent these issues by following manufacturer guidelines and Metal Construction Association standards for metal roof skylight integration.

Where Skylights Are Installed on Metal Roofs

• Warehouses and distribution centers

• Commercial offices and showrooms

• Retail buildings and lobbies

• Manufacturing facilities

• Schools, churches, and gymnasiums

• Residential additions with standing seam or R-panel roofs

Types of Skylights We Install

✅ Curb-mounted skylights – most reliable for metal roofs
✅ Self-flashing skylights – faster install, used on flat or low-slope panels
✅ Domed skylights – impact-resistant, ideal for commercial use
✅ Glass skylights – high-end appearance, UV protection options
✅ Smoke vents and daylighting panels – code-compliant for industrial use

Our Skylight Integration Process

1. Roof Evaluation
   We assess slope, panel type, framing layout, and water drainage to choose the best skylight location and style.

2. Curb Fabrication or Prep
   For curb-mounted skylights, we build or install factory curbs that elevate the skylight above the water plane.

3. Flashing Installation
   We install custom or manufacturer-provided flashing kits that work with your metal panel profile—R-panel, standing seam, or structural.

4. Sealant & Closure Details
   All seams, fasteners, and curbs are sealed with metal-compatible materials to prevent leaks.

5. Final Inspection
   We check slope, water flow, and finish for airtight, watertight integration.

FAQs: Skylights on Metal Roofs in Georgia

💬 Can I retrofit a skylight into an existing roof?
