Hello all, We have a really steep roof (old, simple-style Victorian house) and would like to put a tubular skylight in. The problem is that I could only find models warranted up to 12:12 pitch, which translates to 45deg. Our roof is 55-60 deg. Does anybody know a manufacturer that makes and warrants tube skylights for such roofs? Ideally I would like to have something inconspicuous like a flat roof dome that doesn’t stick out like a chimney. Thanks a lot, Christoph

In the meantime I found the Velux sun tunnels. They work up to 20:12 and even have a low-profile flashing version. Exactly what I was looking for.
