Traditional Skylight Installation

Daylighting with skylights; it enhances life with our most abundant natural resource — light from above.

Skylights are home transforming products; simply a window in the roof that washes the room below in soft light. Did you know that a 2x4 skylight allows three times more light than windows of the same size and it gets that light into corners and the middle of the room!

You have many options when it comes to skylights; they can be like a picture window and simply brighten up rooms or you could have a “fresh air skylight” which actually opens and allows for ventilation. The Fresh Air Skylight can be manually, electrical or solar operated.

Why daylight? Skylights are the most efficient way to bring daylight into a home:

• Brighten dark rooms
• Balances light in a room
• Penetrate light into a large room
• Produces much less glare than windows
• Actually more energy efficient than windows because less skylight area is needed to produce 
  •      the same amount of light; the more glass area the less energy efficient.

It’s Practical: 

• Where there is light, there is life
• Brighten a dark room
