Accurate measurement and planning
Before installing the electric lighting skylight, accurate measurements must be made. Use professional measuring tools to repeatedly check the size of the skylight opening to ensure that it fully matches the specifications of the skylight product. At the same time, according to the building structure and roof slope, the installation position and angle of the skylight are planned in detail to ensure that it can form a good drainage slope connection with the roof after installation, so that rainwater can flow smoothly to the drainage system to avoid water accumulation and leakage.
Selection of high-quality installation materials
Choosing suitable installation materials is crucial to ensure that there are no hidden dangers of water leakage. The waterproof sealant strip should have good elasticity, weather resistance and aging resistance, and can maintain sealing performance under different temperature and humidity conditions. The sealant should be a product with good compatibility and strong adhesion with the skylight material and roof material, such as silicone sealant. In addition, the screws, bolts and other connectors used to fix the skylight should also have anti-corrosion ability to prevent the seal from failing due to metal rust.
Standardized installation process
The installer must strictly follow the installation process requirements provided by the manufacturer. When installing the window frame, ensure that its horizontal and vertical deviations are controlled within a very small range, generally not more than 2 mm per meter. The gap between the window frame and the roof opening should be uniform and consistent, and the sealing material should be filled full and dense to avoid voids or bubbles. For the installation of glass, ensure that it is installed firmly and the sealing strips are tightly fitted to prevent rain from seeping in from the edge of the glass.
Waterproof test link
After the electric lighting skylight is installed, a strict waterproof test must be carried out. You can use a simulated rainfall method to spray water on the skylight and surrounding areas with a spray bottle or water pipe to observe whether there is any leakage. At the same time, you can also use professional pressure testing equipment to test the air tightness and water tightness of the skylight to ensure that it can withstand a certain water pressure without leaking. If a leakage point is found, the cause should be found and repaired in time until the test is qualified.
Regular maintenance inspection
Even if the installation accuracy is high, the sealing performance of the skylight may decrease over time and under the influence of environmental factors. Therefore, the electric lighting skylight needs to be maintained and inspected regularly. Check whether the sealing strip is aging, cracking, deformed, etc. If there is any problem, replace it in time. At the same time, check whether the connection between the window frame and the glass is loose, whether the screws are rusted, and tighten and rust-proof treatment in time to ensure that the skylight is always in a good waterproof state.
Coordinate with the overall waterproofing of the building
The waterproofing of the electric lighting skylight cannot be viewed in isolation, but must be combined with the overall waterproofing of the building. During the roof waterproofing construction, it is necessary to ensure that the waterproof layer around the skylight is laid completely and effectively connected with the waterproofing system of the skylight. For example, a waterproof additional layer is set around the skylight, and the width is not less than a certain standard. The skylight waterproofing is incorporated into the entire roof waterproofing system to form a multi-level waterproof protection and reduce the risk of leakage.
Professional training and experience accumulation
The professional skills and experience of the installer play a key role in ensuring the installation accuracy and waterproofing effect of the electric lighting skylight. Manufacturers should strengthen the training of installers to familiarize them with product characteristics, installation processes and quality standards. Installers continue to accumulate experience in practice, and can better cope with various installation scenarios and possible problems, thereby improving the installation quality and effectively avoiding the risk of leakage.
