If necessary, metal spacers can be used in the inner part of the skylight base. This solution is optional and concerns mainly high bases and ones in which there is a high risk of buckling. The spacers should also be used in buildings where sudden changes of pressure occur. It is recommended that the skylight base should protrude 15 cm from the roof surface. In the case of larger skylight spans, the base should be higher because of the risk of leaks.
