What Are The Benefits Of Polycarbonate Skylights?

Skylights are traŶspareŶt eleŵeŶts that fill up eŶǀelope opeŶiŶgs iŶ a ďuildiŶg’s roof, ĐoǀeriŶg part or all of the roof’s area, for daylight purposes. They alloǁ natural sunlight to flow into the room and fill it with illumination, to make maximum use of sunlight during the day time.

History of skylights Skylights are nothing new; they have been used since ancient times. Open skylights were used in Ancient Roman architecture; and glazed closed skylights have been used since the Industrial Revolution as glass production manufacturing th started seeing great progress. However, it was the mid-20 century that saw skylights being extensively used in various applications. But today, polycarbonate has been replacing glass considerably because of its variety of benefits as compared to glass. These include durability, strength, impact resistance, light weight, fire resistance, ease of installation, ease of handling, etc. You too can have your skylights built with Tuflitepolycarbonate sheetto achieve awesome lighting effects within your rooms.

What benefits can you achieve from skylights? Skylights have varied benefits that relate to health, design, cost-saving and more. Here is a detailed review–

The main purpose of skylights is to provide daylighting. Skylights provide a visual connection to the outdoor environment to the interior occupants. When top lighting from skylights is combined with side lighting from windows, daylighting is maximized. Top lighting brings in sunlight to centralized areas of the room, where side lighting cannot reach as much. This helps in more amount of daylight being brought in throughout the day. Even on dark cloudy days, top lighting from skylights is up to ten times more efficient than side lighting.

Daylighting offers amazing cost savings because with the natural light coming in, fewer lights are used within and for shorter durations throughout the day. This helps residential as well as commercial places to using less electrical lighting,

saving energy, lowering costs, and reducing environmental impact. In fact, daylighting can cut lighting energy use by up to 80%!

Moreover, the natural lighting coming in provides health benefit and combats stress. To add to that, if polycarbonate sheets are used, they will also keep away the harmful UV radiations of the sun, thus bringing in only the good part of sunlight within.

Looking at it from a designer perspective, the way the light falls through the skylight opening in the roof adds a dramatically effect to your room. You can add this element in a way to highlight an architectural feature within your room too. Skylights when placed appropriately can distribute the light coming in to create interesting interplays of light and shadow on the elements beneath the roof.

Usepolycarbonateroofingsheetsfor your skylights for the best results. They can be used in combination with steel roofing or with other polycarbonate sheets of higher density or darker colors. Polycarbonates will not only bring maximum light inside, but will also protect the harmful UV radiations. They will also act as light diffusers to soften the incoming sunlight and create interesting light effects.
