Skylight

الوصف

Skylights are horizontal windows or domes placed at the roof of buildings, often used for daylighting. Skylights admit more light per unit area than windows, and distribute it more evenly over a space.

Types of Skylights:

1. Traditional Skylights

Traditional rectangular skylights can provide daylight, views, aesthetics and ventilation.
 

2. Tubular, Dome and Other Modern Skylights

There is a wide variety of modern non-rectangular skylights, involving a large variety of shapes: pyramidal, dome, circular, oval, diamond, multi-sided, tubular etc.

3. Solar Skylights

The solar skylight, which is a combination of a traditional skylight coupled with silicon solar cells, has entered the marketplace. 

Benefits of Skylights:

 Skylights allow natural daylight to enter the rooms and this makes the rooms look more spacious, expansive and more beautiful.

 The increase in natural light helps decrease the overall energy costs.

 Skylights that open up can also provide ventilation in rooms that may not be well ventilated.
