Today, as T-COD Architecture, we would like to talk about roof window applications, which is one of the roof systems in architectural structures. Let's take a look at the skylight systems that are frequently used in business centers and detached buildings today.
The roofs covering the upper part of the architectural structures vary depending on the climatic conditions of the region where the building is located, environmental regulations, whether it is an apartment or detached buildings. Today, roofs not only undertake the task of protecting the building from external factors, but also undertake the task of transmitting sunlight to the living space below. In this way, skylights, which create a bright and pleasant interior, become the simplest and most practical method of natural lighting in buildings, maximizing the use of daylight. Roof window systems, which enable energy savings, can be used as a whole roof covering, as well as in the last floor or attic rooms, turning an ordinary room into a perfect terrace floor. With the many functionalities it adds to our lives, the roof window design creates an aesthetic atmosphere to the user, creating a line between existence and non-existence, together with its transparency. In terms of architecture, the maximum use of natural light in the space provides transparency and brings various solutions such as energy saving in the building. This creative design, which brings the user together with the sky, is frequently used to illuminate high ceilings in crowded and busy business centers and to achieve an aesthetic appearance. By providing guidance on the maximum allowable deflection and overhead glazing stresses, roof window systems, which are generally applied to various building types at different load levels, also leave no room for concern about durability and permeability when used with high strength and thermal insulation.
Glass, which was first used in windows, was used in different parts of the buildings over time, and with the developing technology, it began to be used in ceilings. By offering the user aesthetics and functionality together, it provides excellent solutions such as energy saving and brings the user together with the sky.
