How to Buy the Best Skylight – It’s Easy

The decision to install a skylight in your home is not taken lightly. You would probably have talked to others who have skylights in their homes and asked about the pros and cons. In the end, you might conclude that installing a skylight is a good idea. But what make and type? There are so many manufacturers, so many different models and a variety of materials used in making them. How do you find what is best? You could ask your friends for advice, but did they do their research before buying? Also, technology has changed so much that those with older homes may not be aware of what is available today. You could ask a roofing contractor or a handyman, but they are not skylight experts and they may also have their vested interests that influence their advice.

What Type of Skylight?

• Choose the latest and best technology. That means tubular skylights, or daylighting systems as they are also known. Unlike traditional skylights that have been around for a long time and are like windows set on the roof, tubular skylights are the cutting edge of natural lighting technology. They use special roof-mounted sunlight collectors and carry the light through special reflective tubing to even the most interior parts of the house while traditional skylights limit the light that enters to only the spaces directly below them.
• Tubular skylights are easy to install and require no structural modifications to the house. The whole job can be done in just a couple of hours.
• Tubular skylights use free renewable natural sunlight to light up your home. This means that your electricity bills will come down and your home will be an eco-friendly one with a reduced carbon footprint.

• A wide variety of light fixtures for diffusing the light makes it easy to integrate the tubular skylight system with any type of décor.
• The range of optional accessories available makes it easy to customize the skylight to meet your needs. There are ventilation addons, dimmers to control the amount of light that enters, and electric light kits so that the same system can provide light at night.
• Tubular skylights are great selling points if you should decide to sell your home. They also increase the value of the property.
