The Benefits of Installing Skylights and Rooflights
The following are just some of the benefits you will enjoy by installing skylights or rooflights on your Oxfordshire home:
Reduced energy usage: The typical dark interior needs at least some help from artificial lighting most of the time, if not all day long. That's expensive. By installing a skylight and flooding the space with natural light you'll finally be able to turn off those lights during the day.
1 - Reduced heating bills: With warm natural light flooding into your home all day long you should be able to turn down the heat from time to time. This is another way a skylight will save you money on your monthly energy bills.
2 - Reduced carbon footprint: The UK government has committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050. For that to happen every homeowner is going to have to chip in. One of the best ways to do that is to install a skylight or rooflight on your home.
3 - Enhanced ventilation: With a skylight that opens you will be able to achieve a kind of airflow through your home that used to be impossible. This will enable you to shut the air conditioner off from time to time in the summer and save even more money.
Is Planning Permission Required for Skylights and Rooflights in Oxfordshire?
It might be. And if your home is a listed building it will be. To find out for sure it's best to get in touch with your local authority and simply ask them.
