Skylights can make a room feel more open.
Skylights allow light to stream from the ceiling, making the indoors feel more like the outdoors. Some skylights provide small pockets of light while others provide enough light to illuminate a whole room. You're faced with many choices when selecting an appropriate skylight: they come in different sizes and shapes and are available with or without blinds and tints. No matter what skylight you select, you should consult with an experienced team of roofers or contractors. Improperly installed skylights can lead to roof problems or leaking.
Instructions
1. Examine your roof to determine the best place for a skylight. You must consider both the aesthetic look of the skylight and the structural needs of the roof. Do not make any hard and fast decisions without consulting with the roofer who will install your skylight.
2. Examine your options when it comes to skylight types. Options include thermal glass, blinds and tints. Thermal glass serves as an excellent solution for those who want extra heat in their homes, while tints serve as the best solution for those who want a skylight that is easy on the eyes.
3. Research skylight sizes and shapes. Most skylights come in standard rectangular or circular shapes, in small to medium sizes. Smaller skylights are typically easier to install and place.
4. Compare prices for skylights. Read reviews of skylights online or ask a roofer for his advice.
