Four benefits of installing solar skylights in your home

Adding a skylight to your home is an exciting upgrade for any homeowner, but just like getting a new roof or gutters, there is consideration to be given to ensure that this is the right investment for you. The first and most important thing is to decide which type of skylight is best for you. The majority of skylight types on the market are: solar, electric, manual and fixed skylights. Of all our skylight options, the solar 'fresh air' skylight offers the most benefits for your home and is well worth the investment. To help you make an informed decision, we'd like to share why these skylights can be the perfect addition to your space.

1. Add natural light

The first benefit of adding any skylights to your home is the amount of natural light they allow into your home. Not only does this make the space feel bigger and brighter, it can also improve your mood and increase productivity. We recommend even adding skylights to your bed so that you can see the stars at night.

2. Let in fresh air and ventilation

All skylights can brighten up your home, but operational models like solar skylights can do this and more. Turn them on and discover the difference they make in ventilating your home with just the push of a button.

Indoor air quality is often much worse than outside due to the accumulation of dust and pollution in your home. Opening a skylight as well as an open window or door is a simple way to promote air circulation. Warm air rises naturally and escapes through the skylight, while cold air is drawn in through the lower levels. You'll be amazed at how skylights improve the overall air quality of your home!

3. Increased resale value

Adding a skylight can make a big difference to the resale value of your home. Skylights make rooms appear larger and brighter, making your home more attractive to potential buyers.

4. Energy efficient

Solar skylights are a great alternative to electric skylights as they are self-sufficient and will still work during power outages. Using separate solar cells and internal batteries, you don't need any wires connected to the house.

No need to worry about rain! If the weather starts to get warmer, the sensors automatically close the skylights. This saves on your electricity bill and gives you peace of mind as your belongings will not be affected by potential storms.

These are the four main benefits of installing a solar skylight in your home, in terms of natural views, ventilation, value for money and energy efficiency, so come and see us!
