Looking to brighten up your home while saving on energy costs? At Above All Roofing & Contracting Ltd., we believe skylights are one of the best upgrades homeowners can make when replacing or updating their roofs. Not only are they visually appealing, but they also deliver functional value year-round.
Here are six reasons why skylights are a smart investment for your home:
1. More Natural Light (Without Sacrificing Privacy)
Skylights let in up to five times more natural light than traditional windows of the same size. And since they bring in light from above, you get soft, diffused brightness without worrying about privacy or people being able to see in.
2. Reduced Energy Costs
By maximizing natural daylight and reducing the need for artificial lighting, skylights can help lower your utility bills. Venting skylights can also release hot air buildup, reducing strain on your AC system in warmer months.
3. Better Ventilation
Operable skylights—whether manual, motorized, or sensor-activated—allow for improved airflow. Hot air rises and escapes through the skylight, while cooler air stays lower, making it easier to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
4. Enhanced Architectural Appeal
A skylight isn’t just functional—it’s a stylish architectural feature that can transform the look and feel of any room. Whether flat or dome-shaped, skylights add visual interest and modern appeal to your home.
5. Modern Options for Comfort and Control
Today’s skylights come with low-emissivity (low-E) and tinted coatings to manage heat gain and UV exposure. You can also choose built-in blinds, shades, or screens for added comfort and flexibility.
6. Ideal Timing for Replacement
Skylights don’t last forever. If you’re installing a new roof or redoing your current one, it’s the perfect time to replace old skylights. This ensures a watertight fit and improves overall roof performance.
At Above All Roofing & Contracting Ltd., we can guide you through the selection and installation process, helping you choose the right skylight features for your home and budget.
