Types of Skylights

There are several types of skylights available, each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Here are some common types of skylights:

Fixed Skylights

Fixed skylights are a type that is permanently sealed and can't open. These are the most common types of skylights for San Diego homes. Designed to allow natural light to enter the property, and improve the overall ambience of a space. Fixed skylights are used when ventilation isn't necessary or desired (hallways, bathrooms, closets). They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are made with either glass or acrylic. They are a popular choice because they provide a cost-effective solution to bright up a room while providing energy-savings.

Ventilated Skylights

Ventilation skylights are designed with built-in ventilation features such as electric or manual operating mechanisms allowing for easy control of air flow and temperature. When ventilated skylights are installed properly these skylights can reduce energy costs and providing light and insultation, reducing the need for air conditioning. They can improve indoor air quality because of their ability to alllow for the circulation of fresh outdoor area in to the property. These are a very eco-friendly and practice addition to a property.

Tubular Skylights

Tubular skylights, also referred to as "sun tunnels" or "solar tubes" are a type of daylighting system that brings natural light to the properties interior by capturing and redirecting sunlight from the roof to a diffuser in the ceiling. Usually they are composed of a dome or flat panel on the roof that captures sunlight, a highly reflective tube that then carries the light down to the interior space to a diffusers that disperses the light. They are commonly used in areas where traditional skylights aren't practice due to the lack of space and the cost to install.

Flat Skylights

Flat skylights are most commonly used in modern buildings to increase natural light and improve indoor aesthetics. These skylights have a flat surface (as the name suggests), that is installed on a roof or ceiling to allow natural light to enter the rooom below. These skylights are a terrific way to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable design because they allow light to go deeper in to the property which reduces the need for lighting during the day.

Domed Skylights

Domed skylights are typically made of polycarbonate or acrylic materials that are lightweight and durable. The "dome" shape allows for maximum sunlight penetration and dispersal, again, reducing energy costs. Some dome skylights can be opened to provide natural air flow and ventilation, improving indoor air quality and reducing the need for ventilation systems. They can be customized to fit a variety of design styles and preferences.

Pyramid Skylights

Pyramid skylights feature a pyramid-shaped structure atop a roof or ceiling allowing light to enter the room. They are usually made of glass or transparent materials and come in a variety of sizes to meet your needs. They can be used in both residential and commercial buildings. Some pyramid skylights can be designed with ventilation features to regulate temperature and air flow within a property.
