Skylight flashing is a critical component of a metal roof system designed to prevent water intrusion around skylight installations. This page covers skylight flashing for buildings in Lakeland, Florida.
Lakeland, Florida, experiences significant challenges for metal roofing and fabrication due to its proximity to the coast, exposing structures to salt air and high humidity. The region is also prone to hurricane-force winds, requiring robust materials and installation methods. The inland location offers some buffer from direct coastal salt spray compared to cities directly on the Atlantic or Gulf, but the intense Florida heat and pervasive humidity remain constant factors affecting metal performance and longevity, alongside the varied age and construction types of existing buildings.
This service involves fabricating and installing custom-fit metal pieces that integrate the skylight frame with the surrounding roofing material. The flashing is carefully shaped and secured to create a watertight seal, directing water away from the opening and onto the roof surface. It typically includes a base flashing that attaches to the roof deck and a cap flashing that covers the top edge of the skylight frame.
