types of skylights
Skylights are an excellent way to bring natural light into a room to improve its overall aesthetics. There are various types of skylights that you can choose from, depending on your needs, budget, and the architecture of your home.
Here are some of the most common types of skylights:
fixed skylight
SUN TUNNELS
domed skylights
ventilated skylight
electric/solar skylight
custom skylights
These skylights are stationary and do not open. They are perfect for rooms where you want to bring in natural light but don't need ventilation.
These skylights can be opened to allow fresh air into the room. They are ideal for rooms that need additional ventilation, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
These skylights are small and designed to fit into tight spaces, such as closets, hallways, and bathrooms. They consist of a dome on the roof, a reflective tube that runs through the attic, and a diffuser that spreads light evenly in the room.
Both electric and solar skylights work by using a motor to open and close the skylight by either using electricity or solar energy as the power source.
These skylights have a dome-shaped design that allows them to collect more sunlight than flat skylights. They are also more energy-efficient and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
These skylights are designed to fit your specific needs and can be made in any size, shape, or style you desire. They are ideal for unique or challenging spaces that require a custom solution.
