Contemporary Skylight

One of the wonderful things about skylights is that they can be made in a variety of ways to accommodate the unique needs of homeowners. Whether you are looking for a more contemporary look or a more traditional one, there is sure to be a skylight that fits your style.

When to Choose Contemporary Skylights

There are a few key things to consider when deciding if contemporary skylights are right for your home. First, think about the overall style of your home. If you have a modern or contemporary style home, this type of skylight will likely fit in well with your existing décor.

Next, consider the function of the skylight. If you are looking for a skylight that will let in a lot of natural light, then a contemporary skylight is a great option. These skylights are often made with large panels of glass that maximise the amount of light that can enter your home.

Finally, think about your budget. Contemporary skylights can range in price, so it is important to consider how much you are willing to spend. Keep in mind that the size and complexity of the skylight will affect the overall cost.

Contemporary Skylights FAQs

What is a contemporary skylight?

Skylights have been around for centuries, so of course, there are going to be differences between the skylights installed on 17th-century Dutch homes and today's skylights. "Contemporary" simply implies sleek frames, modern materials, double or triple-glazing and perhaps mechanical opening mechanisms.

Are contemporary skylights energy-efficient?

Yes, contemporary skylights are energy-efficient. They typically feature double or triple-pane windows, insulated frames and may have low-E coatings, all designed to virtually eliminate heat transfer outward in the winter and inward in the summer.

Can contemporary skylights lead to lower energy bills?

Yes, contemporary skylights usually lead to lower energy bills. They do this by flooding the space below with light, reducing the need for electric lights and by creating a more stable environment in your home that will be cheaper to heat and cool. If the skylights open, the increased ventilation can also enable the homeowner to turn their air conditioner off from time to time in the summer.

Will the light from contemporary skylights damage my furniture?

If your new contemporary skylights will allow direct sunlight into the room, you can mitigate the potentially negative effects by having UV coatings installed and installing retractable blinds that can block sunlight during peak hours.

Will my contemporary skylight leak?

In virtually every instance that a homeowner reports their skylights are leaking, the problem can be traced to a DIY installation. We understand and appreciate the DIY impulse, but we highly recommend you have your skylights professionally installed to fend off problems like leaks.

Are contemporary skylights a security risk?

No more, (and typically less), of a security risk than any other window in the house. The truth about burglars is that they seek out the easiest possible way into a house, and climbing up to the roof to try and pry open a skylight is not easy by any definition. If you have concerns, you can wire the skylights into your home security system and perhaps place security cameras on the roof.

Can contemporary skylights be installed on a flat roof?

Absolutely. We carry a number of different contemporary skylights that are specifically designed for flat roofs. These skylights offer many of the same features as any other contemporary skylights.

How long will a contemporary skylight last?

If your skylight is professionally installed and properly maintained, there is no reason it should not last 20 to 30 years. Perhaps longer.
