Plastic Dome Skylights.
This type of Skylight used to be distributed in Canada. They are not good because of the cheap cost of the build during construction. If a solid object hits on the surface (stone, a branch of the tree, ice ball from hail) the plastic “glass” can be broken; it is not safe for people inside the premises where the skylight in installed.
Penetration of cold in the winter from the outside, and excessively warm air during the summer leads to an increase in energy costs. Dome skylights are not energy efficient, even though skylights themselves are not electric devices. Under the influence of UV broken plastic, there are cracks through which water penetrates. I do not recommend having this type of skylight.
Conclusion: NOT SAFE. NOT RECOMMENDED.
