A zenith window, also called a skylight, is a structure installed on the roof of a building to maximize the use of natural light. This type of glazing allows daylight to penetrate deep into the premises, making them brighter and more comfortable to stay in.

Skylights are becoming increasingly popular in a variety of properties, including private homes, office buildings, and industrial buildings. The main benefits of skylights include reduced lighting costs and improved aesthetics of interiors and exteriors.

Types of skylights:

  • Spotlights. Spotlights are compact in size and are installed on individual sections of the roof. They come in different shapes (round, square, rectangular), providing illumination of specific areas of the room. Such lights are suitable for small buildings where it is necessary to improve the illumination of local areas and minimize the use of artificial lighting. For example, spotlights are often installed on the roofs of attics and small private houses.
  • Ribbon lanterns. Ribbon skylights are elongated structures that can cover large areas of the roof. They provide uniform illumination of large areas such as production facilities and warehouses.
  • Dome and pyramidal skylights. Dome and pyramidal skylights are often used as decorative rather than functional elements. They are used mainly in design solutions.

Skylights are used in a wide range of real estate types. For example, in industrial and commercial buildings, they improve the lighting of production and storage areas. In residential real estate, skylights have become popular in private homes, penthouses, and apartments, where they are also used to improve lighting.
