Skylights for Custom high roof H2

Postby vanvliet » Thu Dec 07, 2017 3:53 pm

Having problem finding a reasonably priced, low profile ,good quality opening SKYLIGHT in BLACK ( as I have a dark blue van). The white ones I have seen just look grim even on a hightop as they must have been designed designed for white caravans . Most seem to be made from plastic whereas the equivalent boat skylights are nice extruded alloy ( but very expensive) :(
The skylight also has to have a blind and flyscreen. Size? 500x500 or 500x 700 /800 to fit between the rafters .I came across a small bus hatch but ,oddly, they do not have flyscreen or blind fittings. Any recommendations?

I reckon - when it comes to a skylight - you get what you pay for, and you don't want to mess about with a cheap one!

I agree about not buying cheap but even with a bunch of tenners in my hand I cannot find an alloy framed RV skylight with insect and blackout screen :(
The chinese Maygood RV one looks the biz but they do not export to the UK

Have a look for a deck hatch for a boat, you might be able to find one with a dark, anodised frame that would be suitable for what you want.
