Abstract
A skylight system for standing seam metal roofs, shingle roofs and sun roofs in which sheet plastic skylights having upstanding edges are provided. In one embodiment, a skylight is installed in a roof formed from metal standing seam panels. In another embodiment, a skylight is installed in an opening in a shingle roof in which step flashing is used to form a standing seam with the skylight upstanding edges and a watertight joint with the roof shingles. Another embodiment utilizes the skylights in which the flat edges are formed by folding over to make lateral joints between adjacent skylights while longitudinal joints are formed by abutting the upstanding edges to thereby produce a sun roof.
