Arch windows can be operable to let in fresh air or fixed to only let in light.

31. SKYLIGHT :- It is a window installed on the ceiling of a home, bringing in light and views of the sky. Skylights are a great way to brighten up a space while ensuring privacy such as bathrooms. They also are a great addition to rooms without outside facing walls. In addition to reducing the need to use electric lights, it can deliver warmth in the winter and cooling in the summer, minimizing the need for fuel-based heating and air conditioning. On winter days, the sun’s radiant energy can shine through a south- or west-facing skylight to warm interior surfaces. And in the summer, a ventilating skylight can promote air circulation by releasing the warm air that naturally rises. The opening for the window is made by cutting common rafters. The framework consist of trimming pieces, curb frames, bottom rail and top rail. The opening is treated with lead flashings to ensure water proofing. Skylights may be plastic or glass, fixed or operable, and made in any number of sizes and styles.
