Some rooms can't have another window — but almost every top floor can have the sky. A skylight brings daylight straight down into staircases, bathrooms, kitchens and double-height living rooms, cutting daytime lighting bills to zero and making small spaces feel architect-designed.
TrueInstaller connects you with verified skylight installers who cut, frame, glaze and — critically — waterproof roof openings so they stay dry through every monsoon.
Skylight types
- Fixed glass skylights — toughened/laminated glass on aluminium frames, the classic choice.
- Polycarbonate domes — light, impact-proof and economical for utility spaces.
- Openable/vented skylights — manual or motorised opening for hot-air exhaust.
- Walk-on skylights — structural glass panels set into usable terraces.
- Pyramid & ridge designs — statement glazing for atriums and villas.

Frequently asked questions
Will a skylight leak?
Not if the curb and flashing are done right — that's most of the job. Insist on a water test before handover and a leak warranty in the quote.
Won't it heat up the room?
Choose tinted, Low-E or double glazing to cut heat while keeping light; openable vents also flush hot air.
Is it safe overhead?
Yes — laminated or toughened glass is mandatory overhead; laminated holds together even if cracked.
