designed my parents’ house, and the building has already been finished. But I found there were some problems. One of the big problems was two bedrooms on the corner were dark and cold, because the sunlight couldn’t get in directly, so I was keeping thinking about the way to make the bedrooms get warm. Finally, I thought to change part of roof into glass was a good way. So I contacted the vendor and he gave me a good suggestion. He said I can make four windows which was 1 and half meters width and 2 meters length, and the glass’s thickness was 8 millimeters. Between this I said the glass was too heavy to dangerous, then he said I can change to plexiglass.
