Hi,

 

I have plans for a roof replacement including dormer. The current design is a cold roof and skylight with upstand and roof level no higher than the ridge.

 

The skylight upstand results in the entire roof being lower, and given the head-heights is the advantage of having a cold roof.

 

However, I would prefer to have a warm roof, and can see this would be possible if the skylight upstand could be removed.

 

Are there any options that could allow this? Do skylights come without up stands. Is a walk on roof light an option?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would worry about leaks with the details above. You really need an upstand, then the roof light. Then you take the roof covering up the upstand.

 

We formed our upstands from Compacfoam, not the cheapest, but cold bridge free, super quick to install so very low labour charge.

@Pocster!  Quick!  A nibble!

You need upstands for sure ……… 🫤
