Patio Skylights Offer the Most From Indoor/Outdoor Living

Install A Patio Skylight For An Indoor/Outdoor Home Experience

If your home has a patio skylight, you’re well aware that outdoor living has given you an exhilarating way to enjoy all the comforts of home without being cooped up inside. A patio roof with skylights expands the attractions of time spent out-of-doors without having to leave the house. Skylights for patio roof architecture are just one of the unique ways in which homeowners can expand their comfort zone. Here, families and friends gather together to savor a pleasant evening or a celebration without being at the mercy of the elements. A Danpalon patio skylight can be especially accommodating for these events as it enhances the outdoor experience while providing shelter from rain and glare.

There was a time when houses had porches and yards and that was about it, but now, a residence may also have an outdoor area with clear patio roof panels that serves as a cozy entertaining center for company, or a relaxing place for the family to gather. According to the U.S. National Association of Home Builders, the share of new homes that included patios was more than 60% in 2020. This number represents the fifth year in a row that the share of newly constructed homes that include patios hit that record-breaking high! Imagine if all those houses had patios with skylights!

What’s So Special About Polycarbonate Patio Cover?

For one thing, most translucent patio roof panels are made of polycarbonate. You’d expect a polycarbonate patio cover to show significant strength, and you’re right. Although polycarbonate was first used on conservatory roofs, its popularity has expanded to the point where it’s also a favorite choice for greenhouses, solariums, and sun porches. Of course, it’s also commonly used in other commercial structures as well, but its use in outdoor structures shows that it offers that ideal blend of indoor/outdoor appearance and strength that’s so well suited for things like patio skylights. One reason that polycarbonate is the building material of choice in these structures is because many of them would not be able to support roofing made of a heavier material. Ease of installation is always a plus: it saves time and labor for the work crew, and it saves money for the client.

A patio cover skylight made of polycarbonate is almost unbreakable. As a means of comparison, polycarbonate is the material used to make police shields. If polycarbonate can stop a bullet, it definitely has the upper hand when weather attacks. That demonstrates how effective your outdoor patio skylights will be in resisting weather. During the seasons when the weather is uncooperative, you probably won’t be outside on the patio, but isn’t it a relief to know that your patio polycarbonate skylight panels are able to handle the pounding rain and the heavy snow while you’re snug and warm inside?

That resistance is part of what makes a skylight in patio roof design so attractive to homeowners, and so full of potential to architects. The durability of polycarbonate gives it a long life, which is also a money saver. The versatility of your patio skylight satisfies on so many different levels, from the economic to the esthetic.

Patio Skylight Lighting With Translucent Patio Roof Panels

People who have a porch skylight love the sense of being outside under cover, but they also crave the inclusion of natural light. The addition of skylights as a winning feature of the translucent porch roof maintains the brightness of natural light but diminishes the glare that sometimes accompanies sunlight. Danpal technology and building expertise knows just how to handle the whims of weather. Those clear patio cover panels bring in the daylight, but they won’t let it overwhelm you.

Translucent roofing materials for patio use can serve as the master of ceremonies when it comes to weather. They allow sufficient light to come in, but keep rain out. If you have a polycarbonate patio roof, you can be assured that you’re sheltered by a remarkably strong substance, 250 times stronger than glass, but with the flexibility and lightness to readily accommodate an architect’s design. If your home has an outdoor patio roof with skylights, you’ll be relieved to learn that polycarbonate is resistant to discoloration from the sun’s rays.

A little touch of the outdoors lets us appreciate our interior living space so much more. The option of enjoying time under a patio skylight is a form of architectural seasoning for the menu of our daily indoor living. Our homes have been transformed by many things: advances in research and development that have led to more efficient, effective building materials; an appreciation for the outdoors that doesn’t intrude upon comfort; finding a balance between the homes we live in, and the settings in which they are built. Patio skylights allow architects, builders, and clients to work as partners in order to design, build, and live in a dream home!
