Skylights are an architecturally appealing way to bring light into your home. They provide a uniquely unrestricted view of the beautiful, starry sky at night and bright, cloudy atmosphere at daytime. A well-designed and carefully placed skylight can significantly reduce your home’s need for artificial lighting. However, when is installing skylights actually practical? In this post, roof replacement experts from Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. aim to answer the question.
You can benefit from installing skylights in two major ways. First, you enhance your current living situation and second, you add monetary value to your house. Most exterior home additions such as decks, patios, and skylights are wonderful ways to boost your property’s resale value in the future.
A skylight that is leak-resistant and has laminated glass can help you save on energy bills. As passive solar collectors, skylights allow free light into your rooms and counterbalances heat lost through conduction. According to siding veterans, skylights can distribute light evenly across the room without the glare that is common in most windows.
Natural light is often linked with a positive mood and even helps with workplace performance. Since skylights allow lots of sunlight into a room, they can be a tool for motivation and promote a good mood while you’re at home. Even your indoor plants will thank you for this valuable addition.
Some skylights are operable, therefore they can be cranked open to let in fresh, cool air to your home. This also helps with cross ventilation, particularly in stuffy and overcrowded rooms. In this way, you’re reducing chances of moisture-related issues and untimely calls for roof repair services.
