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.
A skylight is like a window which has been placed in your roof. It has a frame specially designed to withstand rain and prevent leakage from rain and snow. To maximize a skylights use of natural light to illuminate a room or its passive solar heating potential you will want to take into consideration how a skylight is positioned. Facing north your skylight will provide fairly constant illumination but will not provide a lot of heat. Facing east it will provide the maximum amount of light and solar heat gain in the morning. Facing west your skylight provides afternoon sunlight as well as heat gain. A skylight facing south provides the greatest potential for winter passive solar heat gain than any other location but will often allow unwanted heat gain in the summer.
This is ideal for cubicles or small offices even restrooms. The places where tubular skylights are most effective are in the bottom floor of a multi-story building in order to light the space with natural sunlight warehouses private offices or to prevent heat loss and for solar gain. The installation of tubular skylights requires a professional installer who can work with the thickness of your ceiling and angles to get the most out of your skylight. The top panel of the skylight will be affixed to your roof with the channel running through the ceiling completely hidden from sight with the bottom window attached on the visible area of the ceiling.
