Skylights offer many advantages to the homeowner. They are lightweight and require limited or no maintenance. Acrylic Dome Skylights are the best choice for a skylight if you live in a climate with extreme temperatures since they keep energy transfer to a minimum. They can be purchased as a single, double, or triple dome, but if you are looking for power efficiency you should only consider a double or triple dome. An acrylic dome skylight is suitable for any roof, including flat roofs. In fact they are appropriately well suited for flat roofs due to the fact that they shed water quickly because of the self cleaning aspect of the dome. Typically, the dome’s height is approximately twenty five percentage of the width of the skylight which allows the water to quickly flow off the surface. The ability to gather light from many angles is another big advantage of the Acrylic Dome Skylight.
