Abstract
A skylight system for providing an all plastic skylight in a barrel tile roof without the use of a curb. A sheet of plastic has a pair of longitudinal edges bent upward at a right angle to form a standing seam edge. A dome is formed in the center portion of the plastic sheet. The upper edge of the sheet is provided with a riser and is fastened to the roof sheathing adjacent an opening in the roof. A horizontal row of tiles rests on the riser. The lower edge is formed to match the contour of a horizontal row of tiles and is attached thereto. Anchor clips are attached adjacent the longitudinal edges of the opening and abut the standing seam edges. A plurality of step flanges also abut the standing seam edges to form a standing seam engaged by the anchor clips. The step flanges are formed to the contours of a vertical row of tiles and attached thereto. A batten strip is placed over the standing seam.
