Curb Mount (VCM/OVCM)
This is the preferred skylight mount for any type of roof, primarily for use on tile, shingle or wood shakes. It is recommended by roofing professionals as the optimum choice for long-lasting, trouble-free installation.
This type of skylight can be installed on all types of site-built curbs, whether pre-existing or new. For additional weather-tightness, ensure you use a roofing membrane in addition to a flashing system on the curb.
Columbia offers the industry’s most complete selection of curb-mounted skylights, which are available in a wide range of fixed and venting (manual or electric) models.
For typical residential application, Vinyl Curb Mount (VCM / OVCM) are utilized for skylights less than 5’ x 5’ and aluminum thermally broken curb mounts (ATCM) for larger models. Commercial applications typically utilize the aluminum thermally broken outside fastening (AOF) skylight.
Natural Light Source & Ventilation
Create the feeling and sensation of spaciousness without adding to your square footage. Skylights transform neglected spaces into living areas, opening your home to more pleasurable living.
Skylights are a natural complement to your current window system and the perfect solution for interior rooms with no lighting or large rooms only partially lit by your windows.
Many homes are built on lots with minimal setbacks from the property line and neighbours on either side restricting your natural light supply. Skylights can remedy this situation.
