modern skylight for perfect living comfort

The place under the roof is much too valuable to store there disused furniture, old household items or sorted out garments. With a little imagination and craftsmanship can be relatively quickly create additional living space. How about a big room for the adolescent son or daughter? You will be amazed at the eagerness with which the teenagers will help with the implementation of such a project!

You may be wondering how the uncomfortable, dark room turns into a room where a teenager sleeps, works, and spends his free time with friends. With a modern one skylight bring light into the darkness quickly and the first ideas emerge, where the writing deskcould find his place and how to set up a cozy place for relaxed chilling under the pitched roof.

Wood, plastic or metal?

That’s one of the first questions you will have in choosing the new one skylight to answer. The selection of plastic windows is particularly large. Plastic windows are reasonably priced and can be produced in a wide variety of shapes and colors. In addition, they are weather resistant and low maintenance. On the smooth surfaces dust and pollution from the environment can hardly be fixed. Plastic windows are usually made of PVC. This material can be processed well in production, which has a positive effect on the costs. In order to reduce heat losses, complex insulation chamber systems have been developed in window construction, which can be manufactured from plastic without much effort.

In recent decades, wooden windows have become a little out of fashion. But gradually the proven material is rediscovered for the construction of high-quality windows. Wooden windows not only look good, they are also a good choice for ecological reasons. Wood is a renewable resource that can absorb heat and help save energy. And also the maintenance effort could be minimized. Modern methods of surface treatment ensure that wooden windows no longer need to be painted continuously.

Relatively expensive are aluminum windows. But especially in the roof area, this material has some advantages that should not be underestimated. These windows are not flammable and they are characterized by a long service life. A natural oxide layer forms on the surface, which reliably protects the material against environmental influences.

Good thermal insulation is the alpha and omega

To ensure that it is always comfortably warm in the new living space and that the heating costs are not yet driven to dizzying heights, you must pay attention to good thermal insulation when selecting the windows. Wood is unproblematic in this respect because the natural material conducts the heat poorly. For plastic windows, the problem is solved by a chamber system. The contained air has an insulating effect, so that even with these windows no undesirable thermal bridges can arise. Slightly more problematic are aluminum windows because metals are good heat conductors. To stop the transfer of heat, a complex profile technology was developed. The thermal separation is achieved by inserting webs made of plastic.

But when you think about it, do not just think about cold winter days. In the summer, the temperature in an attic room can rise to unbearable levels, if not provided on time. There are roller blinds and pleats in all sizes that can be mounted on skylights.
