Owning a skylight is a great thing for those looking to add to their home’s aesthetics, but it also needs to be maintained. It is not just a window; a skylight is a window in your roof. So, when it leaks this can create far more issues than any window installed to the side of your home. Here are the signs that your home’s skylight may have a leak and what can cause skylight leaks.

The Benefits of Adding A Tubular Skylight.

• What is a tubular skylight?
  Just like its name suggests, tubular skylights are tube-shaped devices that, through a rooftop lens and reflective-lined tube, capture sunlight and deliver it to the interior space of a home or office. 

• More sunlight
  Tubular skylights can add up to three times the direct sunlight than regular windows.

• How does it work?
  A tubular skylight uses a rooftop dome to capture the sun’s light. The light is amplified through a reflective duct on its way down the interior of the home below.

• Flexible installation
  This type of skylight does not need to be installed directly above the interior to receive the suns light. It can be installed away from this site in order to avoid obstructions or based on the home’s needs.

• Manufactured  
  Some tubular skylight manufacturers build leak-preventing flashing attached to the skylight which should effect your choice in purchasing.

• Even lighting
  A light capturing dome can redirect low-angle sunlight and reject harsher summer sun for an even feel of lighting throughout the day.

• Cost
  Pro Home Construction can help find a quote based on your home’s needs and the level of work necessary to add your one or multiple tubular skylights.

• Utility bills
  Having even lighting and longer days with interior lighting because of a tubular skylight installation could save you 20% annually on your electricity bill.
