Introduction
In the world of industrial and residential construction, natural lighting has become a priority for both energy efficiency and comfort. Roof skylights are a key solution for achieving this, and at Panelsandwich.org we are specialists in offering systems adapted to each type of roof, guaranteeing easy installation and long-lasting performance.
In this article we explain why skylights are an excellent choice, what types exist and how to integrate them correctly with sandwich panels. If you are considering upgrading your roof, read on.
What is the problem that roof skylights solve?
Many industrial buildings, warehouses, farms and even homes with sandwich panels suffer from constant artificial lighting that increases monthly energy costs. In addition, in many cases the lack of natural light generates cold, unpleasant and unsustainable environments.
Another common problem is the lack of aesthetic and functional integration between metal roofs and traditional daylighting systems, which often require cuts, adaptations or generate leaks over time.
The solution: Integrated skylights with sandwich panel.
Roof skylights are translucent elements, usually made of polycarbonate or polyester resin, which allow the passage of natural light without compromising the watertightness or thermal insulation of the roof. At Panelsandwich.org, we offer solutions that integrate perfectly with sandwich panelswithout the need for complex adaptations.
Main advantages of our skylights:
- Full compatibility with 30, 40 and 50 mm thick panels.
- Easy installation, they fit directly into the same profile of the cover.
- UV and impact resistance, ideal for extreme conditions.
- Reduction of energy costs by taking advantage of sunlight.
- They increase comfort and productivity, especially in workspaces.
Case studies: Success in real installations
In logistics warehouses where skylights were installed every 4 to 5 meters, the use of artificial light during daylight hours was reduced by 60%.
An agricultural customer installed skylights combined with corrugated sandwich panels and noticed an increase in natural light.
In modern homes with a metal structure and sandwich panels, skylights allow the creation of greenhouse or solarium-type areas without losing insulation.
Tips for choosing and installing skylights on your deck
- Plan your layout: Alternate sandwich panels with skylights for homogeneous lighting.
- Combine them with panels of the same profile: Make sure that the skylight has the same profile to avoid leaks.
- Control overheating: In very sunny areas, consider installing diffuser blades or combine with zenithal ventilation.
- Consultation with professionals: Each project requires a technical analysis according to location, use and structural design.
