What Are Skylights

What Are Skylights?

Skylights are specialized windows installed on roofs or ceilings to bring natural light into a space. They are designed to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of a building by creating a brighter, more open atmosphere while also reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Skylights come in various styles, including fixed, vented, tubular, and custom designs, each suited to different architectural needs and preferences. In addition to their visual appeal, skylights can improve energy efficiency by harnessing sunlight to illuminate and even warm interiors. When properly installed and maintained, skylights not only add value to a property but also contribute to a healthier, more inviting living or working environment.

Benefits Of Skylights

  1. Natural Light: Skylights provide an excellent source of daylight, illuminating your home and reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This not only saves energy but also promotes a healthier, more pleasant living environment.
  2. Energy Efficiency: Modern skylights are designed with energy-efficient materials that help regulate indoor temperatures. With proper installation, skylights can reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer.
  3. Aesthetic Appeal: Skylights add a touch of luxury and sophistication to any room. They make spaces appear larger and more inviting, enhancing the overall value of your property.
  4. Ventilation: Ventilated skylights can improve air circulation, reducing indoor humidity and making your home more comfortable.

Types Of Skylights We Install

There are several types of skylights we can install to give your home more light and ventilation. From fixed skylights to vented options and tubular designs, each style offers unique benefits to enhance your living space. Choosing the right type of skylight for your property ultimately depends on your wants and needs. Our skylight professionals are here to help you pick the right style of skylight and ensure it complements your home’s design while providing optimal functionality.

Fixed Skylight Installations

Fixed Skylights

Fixed skylights do not move or open and are primarily used to bring in natural light. They are ideal for areas like living rooms and hallways.

Ventilated Skylight Installations

Ventilated Skylights

Ventilated skylights can be opened to allow fresh air to circulate. They’re perfect for kitchens and bathrooms where ventilation is crucial.

Tubular Skylight Installations

Tubular Skylights

Compact and designed for small spaces like closets or hallways, tubular or tunnel skylights use a reflective tube to channel sunlight into your home.

How To Choose The Right Size Skylight

Choosing the right skylight size is essential to achieving the perfect balance between natural light, energy efficiency, and room aesthetics. The size of the skylight should be proportional to the room it illuminates. As a general guideline, it’s recommended that the skylight’s size be around 5-15% of the room’s floor area. Larger skylights can flood a space with light, creating an open and airy feel, but they may also lead to overheating or excessive glare if not strategically placed or shaded. Conversely, smaller skylights can provide focused light and a cozy ambiance while minimizing energy loss. Factors such as ceiling height, roof structure, and the room’s intended use also play a role in determining the optimal size. Consulting a professional can help ensure your skylight choice enhances the space without compromising comfort or efficiency.

Skylight Repair Service

Even the highest-quality skylights, designed to provide years of reliable performance, can encounter issues as time passes. Among the most common problems you might face are leaks, condensation, and cracks. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to keeping your skylight functioning optimally and preventing further damage.

Common Reasons For Skylight Repairs

Water intrusion is often caused by damaged flashing, poor installation, or aging materials. Prompt repair is crucial to prevent further damage.

Excess moisture buildup can result from inadequate ventilation or improper sealing. Installing a ventilated skylight or improving insulation can resolve this issue.

Weather events, falling debris, or aging can cause cracks in the glass or frame. Repairs or replacements may be necessary to maintain functionality and safety.

For operable skylights, mechanisms such as hinges or motors may wear out over time. Regular maintenance can help identify and address these issues early.
