Installing Skylights in Membrane Roof

eukofios
14 years ago

Our house has a flatt roof, slope about 1" per foot. 9 years ago, we had the old tarpaper roof replaced with a white membrane roof, with heat sealed joints.

I wish that we had kept details of the material but we did not. Or we did and they are lost somewhere. Apparently, the roofer went out of business as well.

It's been great. No leaks. The reflective white roof has kept the house MUCH cooler.

Now I would like a skylight. I'm worried that if I cut a hole in the roof to acccomodate the skylight, that I'll create a leak. I don't know were to get the plastic flashing that is heat sealed, or how to do the heat sealing.

SHould I give up? Are there any suggestions about how to accomplish this project?
