Installing High Quality Skylights
Leak Resistant and Long Lasting
One home design feature that never goes out of style is the skylight. These design elements serve functional and aesthetic purposes. And you can install them in any room covered by the roof.
Skylights are a cost effective way to make a space feel larger than it is. When sunlight can reach all four corners of the room, it creates the illusion of more space. And speaking of sunlight, a skylight makes the room airy and bright by allowing more sunshine to illuminate the space.
While skylights offer plenty of benefits, hiring a professional contractor like Mt. Hood Roof Restoration is essential for reaping them. We know how to install them well, ensuring they are watertight, function as they should and last for many years.
Types of Skylights
You might be surprised by how many different types of skylights are on the market. The available options include:
- Straight lines design
- Flared design
- Bronze-tinted
- Double-insulated glass construction
- Vented
- Automatic
The last type of skylight, automatic, is made with heat and rain sensors. They are designed to close the skylight when the sensors detect rain and open it when the heat starts to build up in the room. By opening in the latter case, the skylight allows fresh air into the space to vent it. You can control these skylights manually, as well, with a programmable remote.
Prevent Heat Gain
When more sunlight streams into a room, it can cause the space to get too hot. Fortunately, there is a solution. You can choose skylights that are composed of double-insulated glass tempered with low-E coatings. This custom glass allows sunshine to illuminate the room, while minimizing the accompanying heat.
