Skylights are usually covered with translucent or transparent material to allow light to pass through while also protecting from extreme weather conditions. A Skylight is a great way to allow more light into your home through a flat or sloped window built into the roof structure for daylighting. Adding a skylight can almost immediately open up any room and make it lighter and brighter adding a sunny airy feeling. Skylights come in many styles and designs. They can be rectangular oval triangular or any odd shape and are perhaps the most beautiful way to enjoy the rain as you see it fall over your head. Windows cannot recreate the drama and magic that skylights can add to your house.
There are shades screens and many other window treatments available for the skylights. Thus you may customize even the roof skylight to create a dream house you had always imagined. Jerry asks "I am thinking about installing a skylight. I have heard that there are different types of skylights. My in-laws have one that I think is plastic. It is very noisy when it rains and is extremely hot. Ive heard that there are glass ones. What are the different types? Is there a glass one that doesnt make all the noise in the rain and filters some of the heat? Yes there are different types. Lets discuss them. The term skylight or roof window is often used to describe several styles.
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.
