What Is the Twin Lip Dome?
The
Twin Lip Dome is a specific domed skylight model offered by Woodroffe Skylights, an Adelaide-based Australian manufacturer. It’s a variation of their domed replacements designed to fit over existing skylight surrounds and installed via side-mounted screw fixings through the dome wall into the surround.
Features & Installation
- Installation method: The dome overlaps the existing surround and is secured via screws that penetrate the dome wall into the structure beneath—this is referred to as a “side-fixed” design.
- Purpose: Designed as a replacement component, the Twin Lip Dome refreshes existing skylights that may be cracked or weathered without needing a full skylight replacement.
- Woodroffe also offers comprehensive services for dome replacements and repairs, including diffusers, shafts, and refurbishment of existing units if only parts require attention.
