Skylight - yes or no ?
A new skylight can completely change the character of a room,
adding brightness, a sense of spaciousness, and style.
It can scatter sunbeams throughout a dreary kitchen, brighten a
dark bathroom, capture a view from an attic room, or provide a
starry-skied bedtime panorama.
A skylight can save you money, too. In addition to reducing the
need to use electric lights, it can deliver warmth in the winter and
cooling in the summer, minimizing the need for fuel-based heating
and air conditioning.
On winter days, the sun’s radiant energy can shine through a south
or west - facing skylight to warm interior surfaces. And in the
summer, a ventilating skylight can promote air circulation by
releasing the warm air that naturally rises.
The trick in making these savings a reality - and in keeping your
home comfortable - is to choose the right materials and features,
and place the skylight where it can do the best job.
