There are many reasons to choose a domed skylight. These beautiful additions have many practical uses aside from solely providing light. Common reasons to invest in a domed skylight are:
- To warm unheated spaces
- Energy conservation
- Water deflection due to their round shape
- Durability
- Access to both direct and indirect light
- Customization in size, pattern, glazing, and transmission of light
Choices are abundant for customization in size, pattern, and glazing materials for your new addition. Larger spaces will usually feature large dome skylights, while a living room in a residence may feature medium or small domes. More design choices consist of prismatic skylights that use lenses that reflect sunlight throughout a room with gorgeous patterns, and sun-tracking skylights that use reflective mirrors to direct sunlight into your building. The number of choices for customization makes domed skylights popular for any structure, as they create an architectural signature.
