(NC)-Rooms filled with natural light and fresh air from above are more beautiful, spacious and uplifting to our spirits. Here are some helpful tips on how to choose the right skylight for your home:
Product Selection
• Skylights are used for overhead, out-of-reach applications. Skylight models include Velux electric or manual venting, fixed, and fixed for replacing faded plastic bubbles with energy-efficient glass.
• Roof windows are designed for in-reach applications such as finished attics.
• Sun Tunnel Skylights are a great DIY project and best used in smaller areas such as walk-in closets, laundry rooms, and hallways.
How to Choose
• A complete selection of skylight models and sizes are available to meet your unique project needs. Consider your ceiling style, roof pitch and whether your home is constructed with trusses or rafters.
Accessories
• Multiple sun screening options are available to control the light including light block shades, Venetian blinds and exterior heat block awnings. Accessories and electric venting skylights can be operated by remote control.
Energy Efficiency
• Energy-efficient glass resists condensation, protects against fading, and will not discolour, leak, or allow drafts. All Velux skylights are Energy Star approved and can help home owners improve energy efficiency in their homes.
