Skylight / July 8, 2018 / Baptiste Allain
If the room you intend to illuminate with the skylight has an open ceiling with no attic space above you can install the skylight without needing to construct a light shaft. This is by far the simplest installation and it offers the maximum amount of light and a view of the sky. For ceilings with an attic space above a light shaft must be constructed that connects the skylight to the room. Skylight shafts take one of three forms: Straight in which the shaft drops vertically from the roof to the ceiling and is the same dimension as the skylight itself. This type is the easiest to construct but because of its offset angle relative to the skylight offers the least amount of light.
There is a dimmer type of switch located in the room and with the help of this switch you may open shut or adjust the venting skylight and even fine tune the angle to which you want it tilted. Nowadays the vent roof skylights have become virtually leak proof. The venting roof skylights have great flashing systems which prevent any sort of leakage. But dont think that you may merrily leave the venting skylight open even during storm and rain. Then the water will definitely enter your house. In case the roof skylight has got wet all that you have to do is shut the vent roof skylight and wipe it dry. Just like every other thing you may accessorize the vent skylights too.
To make sure that glass skylights are protected these are made of tempered glass on the outside and have a laminated pane on the inside. Position: Where and how you place skylights within the home is equally important. Location plays a vital role in natural lighting and solar heating. When they are placed on the roof and facing the north you can expect consistent but cool lighting. Skylights that face the east provide maximum solar energy in the mornings while those facing the west will give maximum afternoon sunlight. If heat is a problem you may install skylights in the shade of a tree or have a shading device on top of the skylight. The slope at which skylights are placed also controls the amount of heat and light received. Before buying skylights for the home do a little research. Prices tend to vary from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Price climbs with the addition of features like shading devices remote control and special glazing.
