We ll show you how to add these lights to your room with minimum ceiling tear out and patching.
Installing home lighting on roof.
Even if you don t have access to the ceiling from the attic you can install these lights by following the directions shown here.
You don t have to tear up your ceiling either.
Run cable into the box and clamp it.
Installing the roof light with a minimum 3 degree pitch will avoid this but our recommendation would be to install at a 5 degree pitch for more efficient results and improved drainage.
Fold the wires into the box and replace the cover.
Adjust the stems in or out as necessary so the distance between the mounting plates at the outer ends of each is.
Measure the distance between the ceiling joists at one of the location marks.
Using a cordless drill with a screw tip.
Unlike flat roof rooflights which are mounted onto an upstand roof windows are installed in plane meaning they follow the pitch of the roof and are mounted flush with the surface.
Open the light s junction box.
