Abstract
A low profile glass skylight for a sloping roof has a unitary rectangular frame having an upstanding standing seam element along each longitudinal edge and head and sill flashings. Webs depending from the frame form an insert for a glass pane. A rectangular wood frame disposed in the insert maintains the glass pane in place. The skylight is installed in a sloping shingled roof with the sill flashing overlapping shingles and shingles overlapping the head flashing. Cleats attached to the roof sheathing engage the standing seam element and a plurality of step flashings adjacent the standing seams and interleaved with shingles. A weather cap is installed over the standing seams.
