How to Choose a Top-Hung Skylight — 6 Models Compared

Need more light and fresh air at home?

A top-hung skylight opens upward from its top edge. It lets hot air escape and daylight come in —a practical solution for dark attics, overheated sunrooms, and poorly lit stairwells. This guide compares Liangxuan's six top-hung skylight models so you can pick the right one in minutes.

1. What Is a Top-Hung Skylight?

A top-hung skylight opens like a small roof door — the glass tilts up from the top. The opening is usually around 30°or 90°, which is enough to let hot air out without blocking headroom. It fits villas, sunrooms, attics, stairwells, basements, and flat or sloped roofs.

What all 6 models share

All six models share a similar basic structure, but differ in their opening mechanisms and available features.
