Skylight Overview
With soaring electricity prices in most countries, energy conservation is encouraged. One way to conserve energy is to maximize the use of natural light in our homes, and minimize the use of light bulbs or lamps especially during day time. This is where skylights help. Skylights are like window panels installed on the roof to allow natural light (light from the sun) to penetrate the roof and illuminate the rooms inside the house. These are especially useful for houses that have minimal windows, houses with very high ceilings, or large houses where some sections of the house have no windows.
