[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Planning on skylights for our new screened porch to make sure the room inside doesn't get too dark. How much do skylights increase the heat in summer? Is it mostly just hotter in the spots where the light comes through the skylights, or is the whole porch hotter? ... Thanks so much for any advice you can share![/quote] Hard to respond without knowing what direction these areas face and how bright the room is that will open to the screened porch. And is the exterior wall gong to be solid with 1 door or mostly glass. Any room or a screen porch with skylights could get so much light that it's hard to read screens [phone, laptop] or see even the best anti glare flatscreen tvs. Sit outside where the porch would be at various times of day...screen check. I'm thinking about adding a screened porch and would not do skylights for that reason.[/quote]
