Skylights are an attractive and energy efficient feature that are popular among homeowners today. If you’re considering a skylight installation, explore some of the unique advantages these features could provide your home, below.

Natural Interior Lighting

Natural light from a skylight can deliver noticeable improvements to your living space. In particular, it provides a direct source of natural sunlight as well as supplemental heat. With increased natural light, you’ll likely find yourself turning on artificial lights less frequently. Skylights can therefore provide some energy savings while increasing the quality of your home’s interior.

Valuable Health Benefits

Skylights aren’t just sought-after because they enhance a room’s visual appeal; they can also deliver real mood-boosting benefits, too. Sunlight streaming through a window provides vitamins B1 and D, which help to increase the body’s production of serotonin. No matter the season, this can improve or regulate your mood and help to minimize your risk of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) during the winter. So, bright light shining from a skylight can make you happier, more energetic, and even more productive. Heightened exposure to sunlight can even decrease stress and regulate blood pressure.

Moreover, light and ventilation from a skylight may reduce airborne allergens and prevent mold and mildew formation. Thus, they can help protect your respiratory system and promote general overall health. This is especially important for reducing or preventing symptoms in asthma or allergy sufferers.

Added Property Value

Skylights can make attractive selling features. When you add a skylight to your home, you’re therefore increasing the value of your property. Their natural light, energy efficiency, and attractiveness are so appealing that home buyers are often willing pay more for them. Moreover, a skylight instantly makes a room warmer, larger, and more inviting, which is important for staging purposes. If you’re considering selling your home either shortly or down the road, consider a roof makeover that includes a skylight installation.
