Common questions about skylights
Will there be a temperature increase when I have my skylight installed?
There is no significant increase to temperature when an insulated Statewide Skylight is installed. This is because of the combined insulation effect of the double glazed polycarbonate skylight top, the air barrier in the light shaft and the design of the light diffuser at ceiling level.
What is the difference between Glocell and Clear Prismatic Light Diffusers?
The Glocell (ventilated) is an egg crate style diffuser, finishing the light shaft at ceiling level without obstructing the ventilation. Clear prismatic (unvented) diffusers consist of myriads of clear prisms which diffuse the light evenly over a wide area.
