Do you know how many types of skylights there are?

Skylights provide light and high ventilation efficiency. There are many types of skylights in modern buildings. According to their structure, position and relationship with the roof, they can be summarized into three categories: zenith type, convex type and concave type.

1. Ceiling type skylight
Direct, transparent roof mounted lighting roofing material openings on skylights. Ceiling - skylights: such as light point sets, lighting covers ; block or strip sets, such as glass or FRP flat glass, lighting fabrication, as well as cones , arches , spherical glass tops , glass roofs and other large sets can be converted into single-slope, double-slope (Figure 1D) or hipped roofs, you can also use point, block or strip skylights. Figure 1e is a party composed of conical glass-topped skylight blocks. To support roof skylights, the structure should be drained to set beams; roof rainwater, skylight rooms should be reserved for gutters. Zenith-effect skylights, uniformly light, flexible in arrangement, simple in structure, but it should be noted, prevent glare, solar radiation, condensation and falling glass. If non-safety glass use metal protective mesh located below the roof. To prevent glare, a set of lenticular sheets can be passed through the skylight. To prevent condensation from dripping, here you can set the openings for the water and drain grooves.
2. Raised skylight
The practice is to set the load-bearing structure on the roof when a skylight and roof panel are raised, set on the side members. The common denominator is rectangular skylights, rectangular, ventilation, lighting and 
ventilation windows and skylights and other rectangular windows for single-storey workshop lighting with flush skylights with certain ventilation. The rectangular ventilation skylight is a rectangular, roof opening with an outer baffle  to prevent the flow of cold outdoor air and ensure that the skylight is not affected by the wind and stable discharge, which is used in the thermal processing workshop with high ventilation 
requirements. The upcoming skylights for lighting and ventilation, two rows of parallel skylights, make the action distance of the cross partition between the two, because, in the two forms of the typhoon, ventilation, external wall window lighting, lighting and use of ventilation in the interior openings. The flushing skylight is made of warm air at the top of the mountain skylight, and the blinds allow the hot air to be flushed directly; the side loading window frame, assists breathing, and adds a cover in case of surrounding wind and rain. Dry tofu fluctuates with the indoor temperature, the temperature sensor drives the hydraulic device, the angle of 
self-opening, adjusts the ventilation amount, the rainwater can pass through the rainwater sensor and related facilities, and closes the shutters, while opening the side windows to maintain the necessary ventilation. The air-filled skylight is light, small, flexible, lean and efficient, suitable for high temperature and strong radiation in hot and smoke shops.

3. Recessed skylight
The practice is a single factory roof truss chord roof gutter section with roof openings for ventilation and lighting at the upper and lower elevation difference, called sunken windows. Sunken windows, then by their downward position, can be divided into vertically sunken skylights, skylights and side sunken pit windows , and sawtooth roofs can also be classified in this category. The recessed window does not require a separate window frame and baffle, and the cost is low. It is open to the outside world in a self-sufficient typhoon development area, with stable exhaust and rapid structural height; small, it can reduce building wind loads and seismic forces.
