Solar heat control glazing - Manufacturers use various glazing methods to reduce the impact of summer time solar heat gains and winter time heat losses. These come in the form of heat-absorbing tints double and tripled paned skylights and low-emissivity coatings. Slope When your window professional installs your skylight one of the factors they will take into consideration is the slope. The slope or tilt of the skylight affects the amount of solar heat gain. A low slope on your skylight admits more solar heat in the summer and less in the winter which is the opposite of the effect you are trying to achieve As a rule of thumb you want to achieve a slope equal to your geographical latitude plus 5 to 15 degrees.
Your ventilating skylight can be operated by one of three ways: Manual skylight controls - These are opened by your use of an extended rod to manually crank the skylight open. These are designed for ceilings of less than 15 feet. Electronic skylight controls - A simpler model of this type of control is wired to a wall mounted switch which opens and closes the skylight. More complex models are controlled by a special wall console of a wireless remote control. Automatic operating controls - With this type of control integrated heat sensors trigger the skylight to open when the interior heat reaches a preset temperature. Exterior sensors automatically close the unit when they sense moisture.
You should also put serious thought into your choice of sunroom window frames because ill-fitting frames will let in both drafts and moisture and can make your sunroom very uncomfortable. In order to get a Sunroom for the best price possible investigate all your options. Visit several sunroom manufacturers both on the web and in your area compare prices and features and make an informed decision. It is rather easy these days for homeowners to build their own sunrooms due to the use of modular components but should a homeowner build their own sunroom or hire a contractor to build it for them? You decided to build your sunroom and have checked with your neighborhood association about the building codes and zoning laws in your area and have been cleared to start your project.
