If you’ve ever seen a home makeover show, you know how important natural light is. It is at the top of everyone’s list of “must haves” when they’re purchasing a home. And for good reason too. Who would want a room with no windows and was forced to rely on electric lighting? But no house is perfect and we all have had to make compromises in the houses we can afford. While installing a window in a room such as your bathroom may be out of the question, installing a domed skylight may not. Installing a domed skylight is an efficient and relatively inexpensive way to lighten up a room with a great natural source of light. Not only does this add value and an aesthetically pleasing feature to your bathroom, it will cut down on your home’s overall energy needs and ultimately save you money.
Using Domed Skylights Everywhere In Your House
You may want to put a domed skylight in every room of your house once you install one; they seem to have this affect on people. Some great places to get creative with domed skylights are in a sunroom, kitchen or garage. Installing a skylight in your garage in a unique way to improve your garage’s overall usability and function. The garage is and probably will always be the original man-cave. A lot of guy stuff happens in a garage, but that doesn’t mean it can’t use a little natural light. A well-placed skylight over a work area could mean the difference between having to work under artificial light for hours at a time and working in the daylight. This could mean big savings over the course of a year. Another benefit of adding natural light to a room such as the garage or kitchen is the added warmth. Sunlight provides vitamin D, which makes us feel better. The more natural light you can have in a room the better. Most of us spend close to 40 hours a week under artificial light. Our bodies crave sunlight and are drawn to pockets of it whether it is from a window, skylight or rooftop. Any excuse to get outside and feel the warmth and glow of sunlight on our skin will do, just as long as we can get into that sun for a bit. A domed skylight is an excellent and affordable source of natural sunlight and if you’re interested in installing one, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact a skylight professional today!
