Hi,

Anyone install skylight on roof top so that natural sun light can be redirected into house.

Pros:
Have a brighter indoor environment without electricity consumption

Cons:
Installation may cause leakage on roof top


What do you guys think ? Worth to install skylight on roof top ?

Yes... natural light is good

How much does it cost?

Better make sure the contractor does a good job to avoid leakage.

The price varies on the size of the skylight. Available sizes are 16x16, 24x24, 24x48 inches.
Price range from RM 1000 - RM 1600.

What do you guys think of the price?

For me, I personally like this skylight as i live in intermediate double storey house. Not like the corner unit, we can only obtain Sun light at the front and back of the house.
I would like to install skylight on the ceiling above the staircase towards second floor. Once installed, natural Sun light will be coming from side of the house. Really feel like living in corner unit. The center area of the house becomes brighter especially in the morning

Leaking on root top? no such thing.
Mine have been there for more than 8 years...still going strong.

What brand ? Mind to share more?
How much did you spend to install one ?
Any user experience sharing?

Just sharing, there is a brand call Monier, but I think it is slightly pricey but the good thing about this product is that it can be open if required

It's tempered glass skylight.
RM2000.

Did you eventually installed? Appreciate if you could share any exp. Thanks

Can share contact to do that? Thanks

robbers say. hello money...

I'm just wondering, can the sunlight be piped through something like fiber optics, or through mirror tunnels to more places in the house?

Light tube right?

Why not just add clear roof tiles from your roof tile manufacturer? I believe most of them have already.

You need to deal with the ceiling also.

Well obviously. I hope people are well versed enough with physics to know that light will not transmit through an opaque ceiling. Or maybe I need to spoon feed all the information?

Maybe the people here aren't as well versed in physics as you, but I guess are logical enough to identify your incomplete solution.

The problem with this how to clean it ? It will get dirty over time and slowly it will be dark

Install an smart automatic water sprinkle up there and control it using your phone.

If I do this for kitchen extension, is it going to be very hot during the afternoon?

Depends on the direction u r facing..... and oso do think about how u going to clean the skylight.... if ur area near highway or high dust area......

Just my 2 cents.....

Yes. Cause the awning traps the hot air from going out.

And the sunlight shining in.

Unless install an exhaust fan.

Thanks for the feedback

Yes, it will definitely "cooking" inside there.

Omg, I've been looking for a tempered glass skylight and I've Googled and Googled but all I can find are glass awnings outside the house! PLEASE give me your contact for this, I will be soooo grateful! Fingers crossed you read this after so long....

That contractor close shop already.
If you want, just go to any glass workshop, they can customize for you.

Hah, I never thought of that! Thanks!
