Domed Skylights

Do you ever feel like turning on your lights during the day is a waste of electricity? Want to find an alternative that could save you money, while keeping your home or business well-lit during the day? Instead of relying on lamps for light during day time hours, save money and electricity by installing a domed skylight in your ceiling.

Unlike a traditional skylight that you’re probably used to seeing, a domed skylight features a (you guessed it) domed glass that provides a unique look. People are so used to seeing flat skylights, so why not make your ceiling a talking point by standing out. As well as standing out visually, a domed skylight can provide a few advantages that a flat skylight doesn’t.

One advantage to installing a domed skylight rather than a flat one is that they actually tend to function better than traditional ones. When it rains, water normally sits on the flat surface of a skylight, which not only blocks light, but can create dirt and dust on the glass itself. A domed skylight, however, is shaped so that any water will run off the surface and onto the roof, where it runs into the gutters and can’t be seen. Essentially you’re having Mother Nature clean your windows for you!

Also, many people don’t know that domed skylights are actually easier to replace that flat ones. This can benefit a homeowner or business owner in case your skylight gets damaged, or if you simply want to switch it out for a different one, maybe with a pattern or tint.

Speaking of patteners, domed skylights can be incredibly beautiful when embellished, and it's shape provides for more opportunity in regards to decoration and etching. There are an endless array of designs and patterns are available for you choosing, even custom ones that will add an even more special touch to your home.

If you’re thinking of making an interesting change in your home, consider a domed skylight. Lesser known than a regular skylight or other interesting window installations, a domed skylight will give your ceiling depth and act as a piece of built-in art for your home.
