TILE ROOFREMOVE 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. |
CGI ROOFEXTEND 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.
Proceed with step 2, as per tile roof instructions above. |
