Skylights add light, character to your home
Skylights brighten your home with natural light, creating comfortable living and working environments and saving money on artificial lighting. Turn your attic into a loft by adding a skylight, or expand your living space beyond your walls with a step-out balcony roof window. Ventilated skylights will also allow you to enjoy fresh air indoors.
Aside from sun tunnels and roof windows, there are three main styles of skylights:
- Fixed skylight
- Fixed skylight with ventilation flap
- Ventilating skylight
Before you have your roof re-done, skylights are an important consideration. Adding skylights before laying shingles will save you time and money.
