In Houston it seems the slykights are increasingly unpopular, again back
on the 80's these were popular but leaked. Now I don't see them so much
in new construction.

Use VeLux skylights. There will never be a leak problem, with the
flashing system they use.

IIRC the lens? would crack.


FWIW, we had them on our home and they were great. As Leon said, the glass
was broken by a branch on one, and another developed fogging. Outside of
those two glitches, we were pleased and would use them again if we needed a
traditional skylight.

A home we're considering has these in an inside hallway. I'm amazed at the
amount of light they give off, and there doesn't seem to be heat associated
with it.
