Common Reasons for Delta Skylight Failures:
🍂 Debris Accumulation & Blocked Runoff: Mud, leaves, and organic debris build up around the skylight curb over time. This traps standing water, forcing rain past your roof shingles and metal flashings.
☀️ UV Degradation & Cracked Gaskets: Continuous hot sun exposure dries out the surrounding rubber perimeter gaskets, turning them brittle and making them highly vulnerable to heavy downpours.
🪟 Acrylic Dome Heat Cracking: Older plexiglass or acrylic dome skylights expand and contract violently in seasonal weather, creating fine structural cracks that allow air drafts and water drops past.
