Most of us want to make best use of natural energy so that maximum amount of it can be conserved. A skylight is one of the best ways of doing so. You can save up most of the electricity, yet make sure that your room isn’t dark all the time. However, you should know what you are doing before installing a skylight. The first questions that most of us ask before installing the skylight is “whether the skylight should open up?” The answer to this depends on your requirement and the climatic conditions in your area. If you enjoy cool breeze on a spring day should obviously go for a skylight that can be opened. You should always use tempered glass for your skylight installations. This will ensure that your skylight stays strong even on extremely windy days. It is also advised to go for tinted glass in the skylight if you live in a hot and humid place as this will control the temperature and humidity inside your room. Another very important aspect in a skylight is stepping around the corners. These are for making sure that the skylight doesn’t leak during the rains. However, if you can afford it is wise to use bitumen caulk which seals down water and stops it from entering the skylight.
