The Many Benefits of Installing Skylights and Rooflights in Colchester
Installing a skylight or rooflight is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make. Whether you install one over the living room or several at different parts of the house you'll enjoy an array of benefits, including:
A brighter, more welcoming interior
Most UK homes were designed and built at a time when little attention was paid to making them bright and cherry. As a result, there are areas in many homes that natural light never reaches. But by installing a skylight or rooflight you can transform a gloomy interior into one that's bright and welcoming.
Lower energy bills
Those dark and dingy parts of the house typically require lots of electric light. In the winter those lights are often on most of the day. If you can install a roof window over those areas the amount you pay each month for electric lights should noticeably decrease.
Enhanced home value
Curb appeal can affect the value of your home by as much as 10%. Just a single skylight or rooflight that is visible from the street can greatly enhance the perception of your home and provide it with a corresponding increase in market value.
A healthier house
Installing a skylight or rooflight that opens can produce robust airflow throughout the house, the likes of which you never have thought possible. That airflow will result in a cooler and drier home that resists the development of potentially harmful moulds. The added light from the roof window will also make your home brighter which will help plants grow and reduce the negative effects of darkness on the mood of everyone in the house.
