Roof skylights add style to Lynnwood homes and businesses alike. Even more importantly are the functional side of the benefits. The fixture acts as an additional window that enables more natural lighting. In turn, this boosts energy efficiency during the daylight hours. This can especially be valuable in areas that angle away from the windows. Here are the three main types of skylights that we install.
Fixed Skylights
As implied in its name, the skylight is fixed and cannot be adjusted. This is a terrific way to allow more light to naturally pour in. Homeowners have varying designs to select from, including flat glass panes or the more flashy dome-shaped variants.
Tubular Skylights
Tubular skylights are recommended in enclosed spaces, such as closets and foyers. The glass’ tubular shape is beneficial because it minimizes heat from either getting in or escaping. Different glass types are available for varying degrees of light penetration. Most let in just enough light, equivalent to a conventional incandescent bulb.
Vented Skylights
These are similar to fixed skylights with the exception that the window can be opened. This is perfect for rooms prone to moisture and humidity buildup, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces. Manual and electric mechanisms are available for effortless operation.
Additional Considerations
Aside from the skylight type, the homeowner can choose from an assortment of glass and plastic panes that utilize different glazing. The glaze is the glass surface’s coating or lamination that improves insulation and minimizes UV ray penetration. This also helps to control the heat transmission.
