Skylight / July 11, 2018 / Nicolas Charlebois
The structure of the house is another deciding factor. If there are beams pillars or pipes in the way the skylight on the roof may not get the right amount of visibility. Making structural changes is not an affordable option in most cases. So it is better to evaluate the room before you place skylights on the roof. In most cases skylights should be built into the house at the time of drawing the design of the house. In case skylights are introduced at a later point of time care must be taken to ensure that they are placed correctly and installed properly. Skylights are overhead windows often in a roof that allow sunlight to filter inside any enclosed area; they are a great natural light option to artificial lighting solutions during the daytime.
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.
Some people in an effort to let in plenty of light choose the biggest skylight they can afford. But bigger is not always better when it comes to choosing skylights for your home. The size of the skylight should not be more than 5% of the floor space if there are other windows in the room. It should be less than 15% of the floor space if there are few windows in the room. Unlike commercial buildings where structures are huge there is only so much that a room within the house can take. So choose skylights that suit the size of the room. Style: Although most skylights are rectangular these are available in a variety of sizes shapes and colors.
