Toit de verre [...] On peut choisir un toit classique, recouvert de tuiles ou d’ardoises, adapté à l'architecture régionale. Une autre solution est d’opter pour un toit en verre. Dans ce cas, faites bien attention, car de votre choix d’un bon verre dépendra le confort de votre véranda. Choisissez en un très isolant, assez solide pour résister aux chutes de branches ou de tuiles. 2, record 1, French, - comble%20vitr%C3%A9

Horizontal roof openings are reminiscent of primitive roof holes used by our ancestors to let the light in and the smoke out. Flat skylights have both drainage and dirt-accumulation problems.

Les fenêtres pour toits en pente constituent une variante améliorée du châssis de toit; elles permettent l'éclairage des combles sans recourir à un dispositif spécial pour la mise en place d’une fenêtre classique(...) Elles sont constituées par un ouvrant vitré de grandes dimensions, placé dans le plan de la toiture et s’ouvrant à l'instar d’un châssis basculant, mais "en visière"; cela permet le nettoyage, empêche la pluie de pénétrer et assure la ventilation. 1, record 3, French, - fen%C3%AAtre%20pour%20toit%20en%20pente
