Skylights can provide a measure of open- ness and a link to the outdoors, according to remodeling designers. They point out that the kitchen is an active place throughout the day, so why not make it as bright and cheery as possible? New mothers, especially women who have left the work force to start families, sometimes feel trapped at home. Much of their time is spent in the kitchen. Skylights extend one's view up and over neighboring houses that might be blocking out the sky. And in townhouses and mul- tiunit condominiums, a skylight might be the only way to open an inside room to the outdoors. Skylights have come a long way from the primitive plastic bubble nailed to the roof, he adds. Low -profile glass skylights in fixed and venting models blend easily with the slope of the roof. The best of today's skylights are leakproof and energy-efficient through new concepts in product design and materials. Forinstance, some skylights have frameworks made of an exotic new ther- moplastic that is said to be more resistant to weather and insect damage than wood or aluminum components. This type of material lends itself to features like built-in, integral condensation gutters that prevent drips in humid areas like kitchens. One decision is whether to buy a factory- asse:mbled skylight that comes ready to in- stall or a cheaper one that arrives as a box of parts. Ready-made skylights make for tighter construction and faster installation, accor- ding to one manufacturer, who points out that the sooner you cover the opening in your roof, the better off you'll be. r
