    Skylight is designed for natural lighting and ventilation. It is tilted to avoid western sun in the evenings and faces north to prevent glare or overheating. Benefits of skylights include reduced energy consumption, less mold and mildew, improved health from vitamin D, and better work performance due to natural light. Double glazing glass consists of two or more panes of glass separated by an air or gas-filled space to provide thermal insulation. It improves comfort, reduces energy bills, and offers benefits like noise reduction and condensation prevention.

    AND

    VENTILATION Skylight is designed for natural lighting and ventilation. It is in a tilted manner so as to avoid the western sun in the evening when sun is setting. As it is facing north, there will be no glare or over-heat, which allows the whole roof to be designed with skylight. BENEFITS: 1. Reduced energy consumption. The lessened dependency on artificial lighting can help reduce the use of electricity by as much as 10%. 2. Reduction of mildew or mold built-up. Most diseases, especially chronic respiratory problems are often associated with bacterial and fungal built up in damp areas such as basements and bathrooms. Natural lighting can naturally lessen the production of harmful organisms and sunlight is considered to be one of the best natural disinfectants. 3. Healthy dose of vitamin D. Ample amount of sunlight can prevent vitamin D and B1 deficiency that may cause diseases such as rickets and beriberi. 4. Improved performance due to change in working environment. Many case studies have been conducted that show a significant improved performance on employees where natural lighting have been encouraged in their work environment. 5. Increased visual appeal in interiors. Natural illumination is still the best type of lighting system used in interior design and can be a challenging, yet rewarding task to successfully incorporate it into a structure or building. All in all, natural lighting offers an array of long-term benefits that affect the overall health of our living world.

    DOUBLE GLAZING GLASS DOUBLE GLAZING GLASS is made up of 2 or more pieces of glass with hollow aluminium tube inserted inside; the hollow aluminium pipes are filled with desiccant and drying gases, or inert gases and the tube are undergone air-proof processing with butyl, assembly-sulfur or structural silicon.

    Glass used in double glazing window for thermal insulation is known as Low E, or lowemissivity glass. It has a transparent metallic coating that works in two ways to economise heating energy. The dual action coating reflects cool back into the room, whilst allowing light from the sun to pass through. All properties lose heat through their windows. But energyefficient glazing keeps your home warmer and quieter as well as reducing your energy bills. That might mean double or triple glazing, secondary glazing, or just heavier curtains. Double glazing lincoln A double-glazed window uses two panes, separated by a 6-12mm gap which is filled with air or an insulating gas such as argon. It is also known as an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU). Double glazing can make a big difference to comfort levels in your home. Combined with insulation in the walls, ceiling and floor, double glazing your windows and doors will help keep temperatures stable and reduce heating and cooling costs. By double glazing a window with clear glass, you can halve the heat loss compared to a single-glazed window of the same size and shape. You can reduce the heat loss further by using different glass types (such as Low-E glass) and using argon gas to fill the space between the two panes of glass. Double glazing also helps to reduce condensation. PERFORMANCES AND ADVANTAGES Good heat insulation performance so as to keep the room comfort. Reduce the bad phenomenon resulted from the temperature difference between the inside and outside. Insert with decoration item for decoration use. Low energy consumption - especially when Low-E and Solar-E glass are used for insulating. Comfortable indoor environment. Dew condensation prevention and noise insulation. The heat and sound insulating effects could be further improved if argon or other inertia gases are filled between the glasses.
