Professional Skylight Installation and Repair Services
Welcome More Sunlight into Your Home
Lush greenery contributes greatly to the beauty of our region. But it takes a lot of gray days to keep this region green. Bringing the sunlight inside makes the sunny days so much more special, which is one reason both roof and skylight installation go hand in hand.
Just one skylight can light up a room, adding an estimated 30% more natural light than windows alone. Even periods of low clouds and gray skies can’t fully dim the brightening effects of adding skylights to your home’s roof.
What Are the Benefits of Skylights?
In essence, skylights are windows installed in the roof of your home. As such, their benefits are a mix of the ones you’ll find with standard windows as well as assets all their own. Key benefits of skylight installation include:
- An increase in natural light, which not only reduces energy and electricity costs, but can also act as a mood booster.
- The all-season natural light, which can brighten up a home without having a strong effect on the internal temperature or climate.
- Stylish interior design quality, which can add to the ambiance of a room and increase the value of a home.
- Versatility, allowing them to be installed in rooms or parts of a home that won’t accommodate standard windows.
Common Features of Skylights
Skylights have come a long way in recent years and now offer a host of features that make them even more beneficial to the home and those who live in it. To counter the damaging effects of ultraviolet light from the sun, even the most basic skylights offer UV filtration and insulation.
To control the amount of natural light, you can choose a skylight that opens with vents that operate either electrically or with a hand crank. Adjustable mini-blinds help to minimize glare and allow you to control the amount of light that is let in. Some skylights even feature rain sensors that will automatically close them up when surprise showers occur.
