The sky is a familiar architectural solution in tube houses that do not have many openings. This cascade gives natural light, which helps to circulate air, but if left untreated, it will react. Homeowners should pay attention to the following mistakes:

1. The wall of the well is smooth and the echo resonates

The nature of the skylight is a tube, so the sound transmitted in the well is very clear and clear. People sitting downstairs talk, upper floors can hear, lose their privacy or bother each other. Therefore, the walls in the sky well should not be flat, smooth all. There should be some rough, lumpy to consume as paint, natural stone tiles, brick card, ceiling tiles. This is also the decoration for the floor area.

2. The roof is too thin to cause severe sun damage to the floor, furniture

In some areas, the summer sun is very harsh, especially at noon the sun shines straight down to the sky, can cause super bright, glare. As a result, floors, stairs or furniture in this area may be subjected to paint fading or damage. Homeowners should install a curtain system under the roof to prevent sunlight and regulate the amount of light.

3. Low handrail system, wide gap

The cascades are empty, so the landlord must do the separation from the well to ensure the safety standards. If using railing, the homeowner should note the height and gap gap. For homes with small children, you need to make sure that your child can not climb through the gap.

4. Do not drain the floor when the skylight is not covered

Many families do not do roof for the floor to receive cool wind, rain to irrigate the garden below. Thanks to that, green plants better, home close to nature. However, if the area is not covered, the bottom of the well must drain well. The floor must be large enough, the area around the shield (walls, walls, doors) so that rain water does not shoot into the living space around.

5. Lamp system, ornamental trees on the wall hard to care and maintenance

Many families set up high, wide well with lights, decorative details, hanging trees are quite far from the reach. Therefore, when there are problems to be replaced, the owner will be forced to install scaffolds only to replace a broken lamp. Caring for plants, cleaning paintings, hanging on wall is also very difficult.

6. Hang up chandeliers, ornaments to heavy

If under a skylight is not a fixed area such as an aquarium, a garden or a backyard, or a living space, you should not hang pots, hangers, ornaments, dangerous.
