  • What are the different types of skylights ? There are several types available, including fixed, ventilating, and tubular. Each type has its own benefits, such as the ability to control ventilation, maximize natural light, and reduce energy costs.

This process should always be performed by a professional due to the complexity of the process and the need for proper installation techniques.
