BENEFITS OF SKYLIGHTS
Rooftop windows and skylights can give a number of advantages to
homeowners. They can increase the overall value (equity) of your home, and they
can solve certain issues in stuffy, cold or dark rooms.
Adding natural light (and solar heating) to your spaces
The biggest benefit of skylights is how they let
natural light into your space. And with that light comes solar heat.
Letting in fresh air and better ventilation
Skylight windows can open to let in the fresh air. This helps
with cross ventilation in stuffy rooms, freshens up the air and cools down your
living spaces without turning on the air conditioner.
Saving on energy costs (electric and heating)
As we mentioned above, sunlight can heat up your spaces and
cross ventilation can cool them down. Each can cut down on your energy costs (just make sure to
install a skylight that’s leak-proof and has laminated glass!)
Aesthetic changes add to the resale value
Cosmetic changes like skylights can add equity into your home,
upping the resale value and giving certain rooms an attractive, natural light
atmosphere.
Natural views and “adding space” to a room
Similar to adding mirrors on the walls, skylights can make a
room “feel bigger” and more spacious. Plus, you can get a view of night sky or
nature during the day.
