VELUX SKYLIGHTS SIZES
When choosing a skylight, one of the most important considerations is size.
The skylight should be large enough to let in plenty of light, but not so large that it causes excessive heat gain or glare.
It's also important to consider the shape of the skylight. A skylight that is too deep will not admit enough light, while a skylight that is too shallow will cause excessive heat gain.
The best skylights are those that are just deep enough to admit light without causing excessive heat gain or glare.
Another factor to consider is the location of the skylight. A skylight that is located too close to a window will cause glare, while a skylight that is located too far from a window will not admit enough light.
The best location for a skylight is one that is midway between two windows. By following these guidelines, you can be sure to choose the right size skylight for your needs.
PITCHED ROOF VELUX SKYLIGHT SIZES
