FW: [Cob] skylight design

[David Knapp]

Mikey's skylights seemed to be relatively condensation free due to their
triple-pane design. They aren't cheap by any means but have given him almost
13 years of trouble-free operation so far.  -Dave

Any of you got a good link for operable pre-made skylights?

Skyline Mfg. in Colorado Springs made my 4' x 4' triple-pane skylights.
They were $257 each in '91, but they don't have an opening mechanism.  You
want at least the thermal barrier frame (could be vinyl, but they make an
aluminum frame with a built-in insulator) so as to prevent as much thermal
bleed/condensation as possible.  The triple-pane is also to prevent
condensation/heat loss.  I walked into the factory and bought them over the
counter (might be cheaper, that way).  I think the mech. opening units are
about twice that, but....(?).
