Follow on Google News | Best Reasons to Add a SkylightSkylights add natural lighting and ventilation to a home. They also add architectural interest and a feeling of spaciousness to an interior. Studies have been conducted indicating that there are health reasons to let natural light into your home.
By: Skylight Specialist, Inc To get the most benefit from your skylight, positioning the skylight is key. A north-facing skylight will provide fairly constant illumination. An east-facing skylight will provide maximum light. For passive solar heat gain in the winter, a south-facing skylight is the best choice, but it will also produce some heat gain in the summer. If this side of the roof is shaded then the issue is resolved. Skylights come in a wide variety of sizes and can be fixed (will not open) or vented (can open). Since hot air rises, a vented skylight allows warm air rising toward the ceiling to escape, providing a natural cooling element on hot days. Higher quality skylights are made with tempered or laminated glass. Tempered glass is the most impact resistant. On the other hand, plastic surfaces scratch easily and may become brittle, discolored or stained. Plastic can also contribute to fading of home furnishings but this does not occur with glass. And now for the really important part - you should purchase your skylight from a reputable manufacturer.
