Why We Like Tam Industry Skylights

 Tam Skylights, Quality You Can Trust


After working in the roofing industry for some time and fielding calls from homeowners with leaking skylights we discovered that there are a few central problems surrounding most skylight leaks. Most brands of skylights have have great construction but the corners are caulked. The caulked corners can begin to break down between the 5th and 10th year of installation due to weather exposure. Each skylight can cost more than $350 each to replace.

This is why I like Tam Industry skylights. Tam skylights have welded corners. Welded corners eliminate the possibility of leaking and unnecessary replacement. Tam industry started in 1970 and is a great local company serving the skylight and solar tube needs of the Pacific Northwest. For more information please visit their website at www.tamskylights.com. Here are some examples of the skylights they offer.
















I particularly like the operable skylights. They open and close easily and are a great way to allow fresh air into your home. Here is a specification chart showing their sizes and the type of curb that should be built to install the skylight on.

    I love the pictures you posted dealing with the different types of skylights! I particularly like the fixed glass one. How difficult is it to install that type in your roof? My husband is a pretty handy guy, so I bet he could do it on his own. I just want to make sure he knows exactly what to do before starting so that he doesn't damage the roof.

    I'm redoing my roof right now and I'm planning to get a skylight like this put in. I'll probably have a few in different places. The combination of skylights like this and the roof I'm having put it will be really great. It's going to make my house look ten times better.

I didn't realize that there were so many different types of skylights. I really like the idea of having an operable glass skylight. I would like to be able to open it to let in some air.

    We have been doing exterior renovations at my house, and my favorite addition has been our skylight. We have it placed in the master bath, and it's in a prime location. Our contractor suggested doing it over the tub, and it has been wonderful to lounge in a bath full of bubbles and look at the stars.

    I think that installing a skylight would be a really wise investment for me. I have a larger home that was built some time ago, so it doesn't have what I would call ample lighting to it. I think that with a skylight I could finally have the well lit space I have been looking for.
