Hi,
I have a skylight in my kitchen (and another in the den) which goes up about 6' above the ceiling, and I worry that I'm loosing heat in these during the winter, even though the side walls are insulated in the attic.
At the ceiling level (8') the opening is 7' x 7' and it tapers as it goes up to a skylight about 3' square.
If I close this up at the ceiling level with a temporary (winter months) insulated panel, will it be a problem?
I worry about the temp swings in the enclosed space and it's effect on the skylight.
Thanks for any help,
Pete
