5 signs your skylights need replacing

There are many features and benefits to having working natural lighting in your building, but the question more commonly asked is how do I know if my skylights are working. This section features two easy methods to assess your natural lighting.

Skylights not only create a natural source of lighting for your buildings but also offer health and power saving benefits. But many people dont know how to tell if their skylights need replacing. Below are five signs that you need to replace your skylights:

	Building is over ten years old Skylights come with varying life spans but generally need replacing after 10 years. If you think your building may be around this age it is worth getting them checked.
	Primary funtion of the building has changed Skylights are often installed to compliment the buildings intended purpose, by changing the main use of a building you may be loosing effiency or damaging your skylights.
	Skylights look yellow and discoloured As skylights age they begin to show signs of wear and tear. As they change colour they loose effiency. Yellow skylights will often only allow limited amounts of light through.
	Light tranmission is poor As the name indicates the key purpose of a skylight is to allow light through, if your skylights are not allowing good levels of light in it may be time ti repalce these.
	Leaking Skylights While being designed to allow light in they are also still part of the roof structure and to that degree should be secure and water tight.
