How Rooflights Can Improve Indoor Air Quality

Rooflights are one of the most cost-effective ways to enhance the experience of your home. They bring natural light into formerly dingy areas of the house, improve the home's curb appeal and make it more energy-efficient by reducing the need for electric lights. But did you know rooflights can also improve the air quality in your home? It's true, and below we'll get into how it's done.

A Close Look at How Rooflights Can Improve Indoor Air Quality

While it's not something people normally think about, the ability of rooflights to improve indoor air quality is a very real and important benefit. Here's how they do it: 

By improving ventilation

One of the things people are most surprised about when it comes to rooflights is their ability to improve home ventilation to a seemingly absurd degree. This effect is rooted in the fact that hot air rises and rooflights are installed in the roof. As soon as you open a rooflight you can feel the upward movement of air. This enhanced ventilation will freshen the air in your home to a significant degree.

By drying out your home

Ventilation created by a rooflight that opens will not only improve air movement and freshen the air in your home, it will also dry your home out. Many homes in the UK are beset by dampness that generates mould and mildew throughout the house. The enhanced ventilation will dry the house out, making it inhospitable to bacteria and mould spores and also eliminating any musty odours.

By making your home agreeable to plants

With natural light streaming into your home all day you'll be able to place houseplants in areas where they would never have survived previously. All these lovely plants will absorb a variety of airborne chemicals and other pollutants, leaving the air fresher and healthier.

By replacing fans

Old fashioned ways of producing ventilation like fans do little except move dirt, dust, pet dander and other allergens around the house without doing anything to remove them. Rooflights that open will create an upward draft that will pull these often dangerous pollutants out of your home to everyone's benefit.
