Hip Ridge Skylights

Hip ridge skylights are a type of pyramid skylight constructed over a rectangular opening instead of a over square opening. Hip ridge skylights can bring much needed natural light and airiness to lengthy commercial buildings or to the hallways of a modern residence. Skylight pitch is normally determined by the architect's aesthetic intent, structural engineering requirements, or both.
