Skylight / July 11, 2018 / Nicolas Charlebois
When these are pulled away and removed the drenched and water damaged roof beams come into view. Moisture comes from both inside and outside. Weather isnt the only thing that causes skylights to leak. Warm air from inside the house can catch in the skylight as it rises on warm air and then drips down onto furniture and valuables below. Modern skylight replacements can come with what is called low-e glass. This low emissivity glass keeps energy meant to heat or cool a room in and helps to reflect heat and cold out and away from the light itself. This is usually done through a special film that the glass is coated with. This film can block out UV rays and comes in many different filtering shades.
Skylights are one of the quickest and easiest ways to make any room of your home lighter and brighter adding an open and airy feeling. Ventilating skylights are excellent for kitchens or bathrooms. In addition to providing extra light they also open. This overhead ventilation creates an updraft. Ventilated skylights can be operated by several means: Controlled by temperature sensor Remote control Electric on/off wall switch Manual or motorized hand crank. Fixed skylights are for additional light only. Theyre great for attics bonus rooms or anywhere you want extra illumination without entrance or exhaustion of air. Styles and sizes vary from domes to rectangles.
After the hole is cut the skylight frame is simply attached to the roof sheathing with L-brackets and then the installation is completed using the factory-supplied flashing kit. Ease of installation superior insulating qualities less tendency to scratch and a cleaner finished appearance all add to the popularity and somewhat higher cost of glass skylights. Glass skylights also have a greater number of optional accessories. These include tempered laminated or wire glass; shades and blinds for light control; glass tints for heat retention or to block sunlight; and the ability to open fully or partially for ventilation. Domed acrylic skylights are less expensive than glass.
