Skylights are a relatively simple and effective means to get additional natural lighting into an otherwise dull building. Even if your building has adequate levels of lighting they can be a great means of ventilation that would comply to fire regulations and health and safety guidelines.
Skylights can either be fixed or moveable and usually made out of aluminium, steel and polycarbonate materials that can be automatically opening and in a range of shapes. They can also be tailored to specific design requirements on a multitude of different shaped roofs, from flat to slated and beyond.
There are many different types of skylights that can be applied for both home and commercial usage. These include:
- Fixed Glass Skylights
- Walk On Glass Skylights
- Fixed Pyramid Skylights
- Hinged Pyramid Skylights
- Electric Hinged Skylights
- Manual Hinged Skylights
Fixed Skylights provide a great addition to a roof to boost the mount of light that comes through without having to invest a large amount of money. They are a mixture of PVC and glass what have kerbs specifically designed to keep heat in while providing the necessary ventilation when required. The kerb and skylight integrate seamlessly in a docking effect for secure weathered connections protecting against the elements.
Thermalight walk-on fixed roof lights are a prefect addition to a rooftop terrace. It not only provides a stylish feature and focal point as well as unique experience when on the terrace. These skylights are fairly simple to install with a low profile, easy to clean and come with thermal performance low profile glass that is made to be walked on.
Pyramid skylights can come in a range of shapes and sizes with minimal frames to maximise the amount of light that is beamed through. They are designed to be self cleaning and flameless at a 45 degree angel to enable all rain, hail, snow and the likes of to fall off. These can be fixed or hinged in their application to maximise daylight with their heavy duty long lasting application. In the hinged pyramid they can be manual or remote accessible and open up to 30 degrees. This allows airflow and light to come through with seamless ease. For additional investment they can also be fitted with rain and humidity sensors to avoid any unwanted inside moisture.
If ventilation and natural light is the focus for your home or business then this could be the solution for you. Studies show that natural light can increase ones mood as well as productivity and that should be a key consideration for business and a nice addition to your home.
