Tubular skylight with dome flashing and protective waffle pattern corrugation

Abstract

In a tubular skylight, an Aluminum sheet having corrugations that may be in a waffle pattern is formed with a hole that is pressed into a curb which is fastened over the turret of a roof-mounted skylight flashing. Roof tiles above the dome of the skylight are placed onto the sheet, while below the dome the sheet is placed over roof tiles and manually conformed thereto, owing to the corrugations. Any water that leaks past tiles above the dome will be directed by the sheet around the curb and down onto the tops of tiles that are below the dome, thereby providing a water seal for the skylight. Clips can be used to hold the lower edge of the sheet onto the tiles.

       7 . A method for engaging a corrugated member with a tile roof, comprising: 
 disposing a corrugated metal sheet over at least two overlapping roof tiles; and    fastening a leading edge of the sheet to at least one of the tiles.    
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising engaging the sheet with a skylight flashing on a roof.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising coupling a skylight cover with the flashing.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising deforming the sheet to conform to at least one roof tile.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the act of fastening comprises: 
 sliding a leg of a clip between the tiles;    bending a tab of the clip over the sheet; and    disposing a fastener through at least the tab and sheet to hold the clip to the sheet.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the act of fastening comprises at least one of; 
 disposing adhesive between the sheet and at least one tile; and    engaging a fastener with the sheet and at least one tile.
