Make cement concrete or brick partition all round the opening in the wall, the partition should be 3'' more high than the top of tile terracing to have safe gaurd against rainwater. Make 4 nos pillar about 2.5' or 3' high from roof and fix PVC or Aluminum glazing and top to be covered with polycarbonate sheet Dom or fiber sheet or ac sheets etc. The sheets at top should be 5'x5'.

Join date: Aug 2012 | Ok Gupta Sir,
as you suggested, now I have decided to cover that opening with skylight. this skylight will be made of mild steel pipe and then transperent sheet on it. now question is what kind of sheet is best, polycarbonate or fiber sheet.

Both sheets are good choice is yours but sheet should be white, if colored sheet is fixed than it will give glaring light effect which does not suit on eyes.
The side glazing may be kept openable for air circulation when needed.

I am from Pakistan. Since I am planning construction of house on my own plot at Islamabad, I have a confusion. I'll be thankful if you could reply me. Size of my plot is 25x60 and adjacent to it is a house without basement. As per law in such condition min. 5 ft is to be left for basement to safeguard the adjacent house. However if full basement has been constructed safely in violation, action can be forgiven. kindly tell me if RCC wall is constructed in parts in 5' each; or you may suggest any other safe way. I'll be highly obliged for your reply. Rehan. rehan383@yahoo.com | | |
