A skylight is a window installed in the roof of a building that allows natural light to enter the space. It works by letting sunlight pass through the transparent or translucent material (such as glass or acrylic) and into the room below, helping to brighten the interior and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Are skylights energy-efficient?
Yes, skylights can be energy-efficient when properly installed. They allow natural sunlight to illuminate your home, reducing the need for electric lighting during daylight hours. Some skylights come with insulating features that help regulate indoor temperature, keeping spaces cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
