Skylights, Energy Efficient, Natural Lighting

More from the Window Replacement Gallery

Is your home dark and gloomy, or is there one room that just doesn’t get enough light? Consider hiring a contractor to install a skylight, thereby adding some energy efficient, natural lighting to your home.

Manufactured in several different shapes, designs, and styles, you should have no excuses for not brightening up your life. There are skylights for different roof pitches and elevations, including barrel vaults, octagonal skylights, and circular systems. Other options include:

• Domed Skylights
• Glass Skylights
• Solatube Skylights
• Impact Approved Skylights
• Architectural Skylights
• Plastic Glazed Skylights
• Curb Mount Skylights
• Fixed or Non-Operable Skylights

Ventilation

Not only can a skylight brighten up your room, it can also add ventilation. Varieties include:

• Manual Vents
• Electric Vents
• Fixed Skylights with a flap
• Roof-Windows
• Operable Skylights
• Retractable Skylights

Energy Efficiency

A new skylight, called the “Sun-Tunnel skylight,” is designed for energy efficiency. Manufactured in five different designs, the Sun-Tunnel is built with a highly-reflective tunnel that provides bright light despite long elevations or poor sun-location.  Additionally, an energy saving skylight cover system is available for energy control. In the summer, this cover system reflects back undesirable solar heat, and in the winter, adjusts for more absorption of the sun’s rays.

Design and Appearance

If appearance is a concern for you, skylights come in different colors, shades, and can also have decorative trims. If security is a concern, there are bars available, too. Special blinds can also be purchased for additional privacy.

Because there are so many different designs and varieties available, it may be very helpful to have a professional assist you in evaluating which option is best for your home.
