Skylight / July 11, 2018 / Nicolas Charlebois
Skylights of any type transform a room by adding warmth and depth while bringing out the natural beauty of your home and its surroundings. When planning your new home or the remodel of your current one take some time to consider skylights as a beautiful enhancement that also provide comfort to you and your family while conserving the energy we all share. To enhance the beauty of your home getting a roof skylight installed is a wonderful way of going about it. It creates a dreamy and romantic touch to everything in the house apart from being beneficial in many ways. There are so many new styles sizes and functions of these modern day skylights that they have become indispensable for any modern home.
The acrylic dome is typically mounted in an aluminum frame which is in turn mounted on a box called a "curb." Once the hole is cut in the roof to the manufacturers specifications the curb is typically constructed on-site to raise the skylight above the level of the roof sheathing. Site-built or factory-supplied flashings are used to seal the roofing around the curb. Domed skylights are available in clear smoked bronze or other tints. Some domed plastic skylights are flush mounted which means that the lens piece and flashing piece are both made of plastic and then placed on the roof without a curb. The problem with this type is that they are loud and very susceptible to leakage.
To reflect an even greater amount of light into the room consider painting the inside of the shaft with gloss or semi-gloss white paint. The glass skylights are far superior to the plastic ones. The best glass skylights are surface-mounted. The flashing curb and lens are all manufactured together. They do not have separate moving parts. This makes them less susceptible to leakage and much quieter when it rains. From fixed skylights to flat glass and domed varieties many homeowners are shocked to discover there are a wide variety of skylights available for your home. Skylights are a great addition if youd like to bring natural light to a room or for creating a feeling of lightness and space.
