A corner skylight is designed to be installed where two walls or roof planes come together. They are known for allowing light to enter the space below in more than one direction. As a result, you'll have a bright, open space where before there was likely gloom.

Corner skylights typically have a spine that runs down their centre at the point where the two walls come together. It is this spine that allows the skylight to wrap around the corner and open up myriad angles from which natural light can enter. 

It depends on the home, but in some cases, they do. Because they intersect and replace roof framing at the corner, it's essential that they have (and the roof has) the robust support they need. Never allow anyone to install your corner skylights unless they can prove they have done so successfully in the past.

Because of their unique design, they tend to cost more than standard skylights. In addition, any additional framing on the roof will add to the cost. On the other hand, most homeowners feel the benefits make any added expenses well worth it.

If you have your skylights installed by a qualified professional with experience installing this type of skylight, then there should be no problem with leaks. Leaks tend to occur when homeowners try to install the skylight themselves or have the local handyman do it in an attempt to save money. 

In most cases, yes. They bring ample light into previously dingy spaces, enabling the homeowner to turn off the electric lights they'd been using to illuminate the space. That will lead to lower energy bills and a lower carbon footprint for your home.

In most cases, corner skylights require no more maintenance than any other type of skylight. That is, as long as they are professionally installed.

We are unable to offer installation services at this time. But if you like, we can recommend a qualified contractor near you who can perform the installation. Whatever you do, we urge you not to leave the installation to an unqualified company or individual.
