Commercial skylights are one of the most maintenance-intensive roof components in San Antonio's climate. The UV index in San Antonio regularly reaches 11 or higher during summer months - in the extreme category that accelerates degradation of polycarbonate and acrylic glazing panels. A skylight unit that carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty based on testing in a temperate climate may begin to yellow, craze, and crack in 6 to 8 years under San Antonio's UV load. When glazing degrades past the point of structural integrity, it is a water intrusion path and a safety hazard.
Curb flashings are the other primary skylight failure point. The curb is the raised frame that supports the skylight unit above the membrane surface - a critical relationship, because the membrane must run up the curb wall and under the skylight frame to prevent water from entering at the curb base. When the curb flashing separates from the wall, lifts at the termination bar, or develops a break at the corner, water enters the building at the curb perimeter regardless of the condition of the glazing.
We rebuild curb flashings and replace glazing panels on commercial skylights across San Antonio. We have executed skylight repair on the atrium skylights at retail centers along the Loop 410 corridor, on the barrel vault skylights in the Pearl District's historic brewery buildings, and on the flat-panel commercial skylights on the medical office buildings near University Hospital on Floyd Curl Drive. Each repair scope is documented with before and after photography keyed to the roof zone diagram.
