Porch Skylights FAQs

It may seem a strange idea to install a skylight over the porch, but if the porch is expansive, it may be a challenge to keep the area bright and welcoming. Enter the porch skylight. Porch skylights are often installed on large porches and verandas and can make the whole space seem much more outdoorsy. Especially if you install porch skylights that open.

Some porch skylights are fixed and some will open. Some porch skylights sit flush with the roof, while others are raised a bit. People often choose venting skylights on their porches to promote air movement and add a vertical element to the visual experience of the porch.

The skylight must be in proportion to the porch roof. If it is too small or too big, it will create a visual disconnect. As a general rule, it's advised to use 5-15% of the roof space for porch skylights. If you need help deciding what size porch skylights to choose, contact Rooflights & Roof Lanterns. We'll be happy to advise you.

Glazing options for porch skylights include tempered glass, laminated glass and acrylic. Quality skylights will feature double or triple-glazing to prevent heat transfer outward in the winter and inward in the summer. In addition, you have the option of installing various types of filters to block UV rays, ensure privacy and more.

Homeowners often choose fixed skylights simply because fewer moving parts (no opening mechanism) means fewer things that can go wrong. Fixed skylights are also a good choice for those on a fixed budget, and they typically require less maintenance than venting skylights.

You can, of course, but unless you have a lot of experience working with roofs, you shouldn't. Experience shows us again and again that DIY installations commonly result in leaks, or structural damage to the roof that can lead to very expensive repairs. Do yourself a favour and leave installation to the professionals.

If porch skylights are professionally installed and well-maintained there is no reason they should not last at least 20 or 30 years. In some cases, longer.
