Frequently asked questions
Please reach us at sales@acolskylights.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.Splendid Skylights Roof Windows are designed with a roof specific soaker tray which is fabricated to suit Tile, Corrugated Iron and Deck roofs. These roof profiles are not interchangeable so ensure you order the window type which is right for your roof.
Also note, Splendid Skylights Roof Windows can be installed, without modification, to roof pitches as low as 5 degrees. All Roof Windows will be fabricated to suit installation long side running down the fall of roof, this is called “Portrait”. Windows in “Landscape” orientation will need to be custom ordered.
YES, Splendid Skylights Roof Windows can be supplied with a Flashing Tray. The standard colour is ColorBond MONUMENT, but the Tray can be made in other ColorBond Classic colours for a surcharge to suit your roof (limited range)

Splendid Skylights Roof Windows have a two-piece frame and soaker tray which is designed for easier installation. Installation to the roof level of any home should be well within the capabilities of any experienced home handyman. Visit our install guides page for installation instructions.
However, it must be remembered that installing your Roof Window to your roof is only half the job. The interior finishing of the project must also be considered. Many homes will require an interior shaft to be boxed out and plastered. This sort of project will certainly require the involvement of someone with considerable construction experience, if not a qualified tradesman.
Each Splendid Skylights Motorised Opening Window comes with an Power Supply that plugs into a standard Power Point (GPO). If a GPO is not available in a suitable position, you may need to engage an Electrician to install one. When the GPO is available, the window is simply "Plug & Play", no wiring required. The remote control is already paired to your window and the motor has an integrated rain-sensor.
Our Melbourne support team is happy to recommend qualified local tradespeople in the Greater Melbourne area if you need professional installation help.
All Splendid Skylights Opening Windows are designed for ease of use and come with a motorised chain actuator, rain sensor and remote control.

They also feature an integrated rain sensor, that will automatically close the window if rain would enter the opened window.
