Typically flat glass skylights include all the installation materials and they are among the easiest to install. Moreover because they are glass these flat skylights are less likely to scratch. Domed acrylic skylights are among the most affordable especially compared to glass alternatives. These skylights are available in a variety of tints making them an attractive addition to any home or room. Unfortunately domed acrylic skylights do not offer the same noise protection as glass varieties and they tend to be more susceptible to leaking. Function Now that you know a little bit about the types of skylights available you should take some time to consider their function.
The shape of the skylights installed in your home will impact the design and look of the room. In the past skylights were prone to vapor build-up during the cold season. This vapor would then trickle down as water droplets into the room. However these days it is possible to buy skylights with channels that collect water vapor. More expensive skylights are less vulnerable to condensation related problems. Material: The kind of material used on skylights at home has a direct impact on their look and efficiency. Glass and plastic are the most popular materials used for glazing the skylights. Plastic skylights are less expensive and do not break easily. However plastic glazing may become discolored over time and may even have scratches. Glass on the other hand is scratch proof and does not fade. But it is more expensive and is usually found in commercial structures.
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.
