I’m looking for how-tos: How does one install a skylight in a Spanish tile roof (actually, cement Spanish-style tiles)? How do you flash it? How do you deal with a size that doesn’t come out to an even number of tiles? Can it be done neatly, and without leaks? All tips appreciated! Thanks.

FXDP,I'm not sure of your size issue but Velux makes a flashing kit for use with Spanish tile.Vince
*hi Vince...Roto also offers the same options on their skylight flashing kits
*Hello Mike ,you're right Roto does have the same options but in pricing the skylights I found Velux to be less expensive.Having installed both, I like the Velux better anyway.Vince
*tomatoe .. tomaaaato... i've installed both and i buy Roto cheaper, and i like Roto better....is this a great country or what?hey how about them Red Sox?
*Mike, we try not to put tomatoes in with the skylights, it just makes a mess. It's a good thing to be different I like it,but who are the Red Sox....Oh you mean those guys the Yanks beat all the time.Vince
*Ah hah.... Velux = YankeeRoto = Red Sox, with the marinara sauce
*HeyStuff the redsox with tomatoes, and it would make a hell of caulk for those big holes when the r/o doesn't equal an even number of tiles.. . paint on some marinara for colour match and Bob's yer f***in uncle.When did Roto start makin skylights to go with their tillers??????Is this a great site or what?-pm
