How To Choosing The Best Glass Skylight
2
A skylight can serve many purposes - it can
brighten a dull or dark room naturally by
allowing the sun to shine in, it can enhance the
design of a lifeless room, it can improve the
room by providing it with a view and, to a
certain extent, it can help regulate the
temperature of a room.
3
There are numerous types of skylights available
on the market today, some designed to be used for
a specific purpose, but most will fulfill
multiple functions. When choosing a skylight the
first thing most people look at is the shape.
4
If you just need a basic skylight then the square
or rectangular one, which consists of one flat
pane of glass, will probably be sufficient for
your purposes.
5
If you are looking for something more interesting
there are dome-shaped, hexagon-shaped, arched,
pyramid-shaped, polygon-shaped, or you can have a
particular shape fabricated according to your own
specifications however, the price of the
skylight goes up as the shape gets more complex.
6
The size of a skylight is another factor that
must be considered. A larger one will allow more
light to come in but it will also be more
expensive to purchase and to have installed. An
additional consideration is the type of pane the
skylight will have, the basic choices being glass
or acrylic.
7
For glass, the materials can range from one pane
of insulated glass, to multiple panes of glass
sandwiched over one or more layers of argon or
krypton gas. For acrylic panes, there is
everything from basic fiber sheets to a wide
variety of exotic polycarbonate materials.
8
Different materials have different advantages and
disadvantages for instance, glass skylights may
have an insulating or a solar coating which
increases their life span, but glass shatters
relatively easily. Plastics on the other hand,
while lacking these special coatings, are more
durable and less expensive.
9
There is also a vast array of special options and
features that should be considered. For example,
you can purchase a "ventilating" skylight which
can be opened to let air pass though that can be
helpful if the room does not have good
ventilation.
10
In addition, there are bug screens for
ventilating skylights to prevent insects from
entering the house and there are curtains and
shades available for all types of skylights to
stop sunlight from entering when it is too hot.
11
Initially the large variety of skylight types and
their "extras" may seem perplexing and somewhat
overwhelming, but if you first decide what the
main function of your skylight will be that will
help you in selecting the skylight for your
particular situation.
