3 Great Benefits Of Installing a Skylight

So you’ve been thinking about installing a skylight in one of the rooms of your home but aren’t quite convinced that it’s worth the investment. Maybe you are worried about a tree branch falling on the glass and shattering it. Or perhaps you are thinking that it might let in too much heat in the summer. 

Right Angle Roofing And Siding, your trusted roofer and skylight installer, is here to allay your worries and shares three great benefits a skylight can bring to give you that final nudge and help your decision.

1. More Natural Lighting

There is nothing more inviting than a room that is filled to the brim with natural light and installing a skylight is the simplest and most effective way to increase natural light in your home. More natural light means more vitamin D which our body needs to function properly. Vitamin D has been shown to help prevent muscle weakness, fatigue, and even prevent some cancers.

2. Privacy

With more and more homes being built so close to each other, privacy is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. For private areas like bedrooms and bathrooms, skylights are a great option. If you need more natural light and ventilation and natural light in one of your rooms where windows are a poor option, talk to your local roofing company about installing a skylight instead. 

3. Energy Savings

Having a skylight installed is a great way to cut down on utility costs as it reduces the need for artificial light. If you want to have a more energy-efficient home and are conscious about harmful emissions, then adding a skylight is the way to go. It’s been reported that homeowners that have at least one skylight in their home can expect to see a reduction of up to 10 percent in their energy bills.
