    Skylight condensation
    Hey,

    We have a cheap, home depot skylight, it's simple plastic and a surrond made of metal, we couldn't afford a fancy one because we dropped a bundle with the new laundry room, it adds much needed light to the room but once the temp. drops below freezing we get moisture dripping on the saltillo tile floor, which makes it slippery! Any way to fix this without replacing the skylight itself? Thanks

    I'm sorry no one answered your question... I'm looking for information on installing a skylight myself. Hope it got addressed!

    Cheap is cheap, most times when you buy cheap that's exactly what you get, you might could try covering it from the inside tightly with some good clear plexiglass to keep the heat from inside from hitting the cool/cold outside plastic and causeing it to sweat, and hopeful the sunlight will still come through,, to the quicklearner,shop for a pretty good double or triple payned skylight
