Why Skylights Fail in Limerick
Skylights endure extreme temperature variations and constant weather exposure. Seals deteriorate, frames warp, glazing cracks.

Professional repairs restore performance and prevent expensive consequences.

We identify failure points – perimeter seals, flashing defects, frame damage. Comprehensive repairs using appropriate materials ensure lasting weatherproofing.
Solution 2: Solve condensation problems
Poor ventilation causes damaging condensation. We improve airflow, upgrade seals, and install vapor barriers eliminating moisture issues permanently.

Drafty skylights waste heating money. Our repairs include seal replacement, frame adjustment, and glazing upgrades reducing energy bills significantly.
