The 4 Key Benefits of Having a Skylight Installed

There are few things that are as comforting and calming as walking into a room with splendid natural light. Skylights not only increase the beauty of a room; they actually also have several documented physical and psychological benefits, not to mention adding value and energy efficiency to your home. 

If you are a bit on the fence about letting your roofing company install a skylight in your home, here are four excellent reasons why it is a worthwhile investment.

1. Natural Light and Heating

The extra light is, of course, the most obvious benefit of adding a skylight. But with all the extra light comes extra heat as well. Adding a skylight is a great way to cut down on heating costs especially during the chilly winter months.

2. Physical Benefits

Exposure to natural light is the most natural way to get enough Vitamin D into our bodies. Most physicians recommend exposure to midday sunlight for about 10 to 30 minutes at least several times a week. A deficiency in Vitamin D can cause fatigue, muscle weakness and cramps. 

3. Psychological Benefits

It is a well-known fact that natural lighting helps regulate our mood and energy levels. Inadequate exposure to natural light can cause you to feel depressed and lethargic. Natural light is also a proven way to boost productivity so it is perfect for workplaces and home offices.

4. Privacy

With more and more homes being built so closely together, there is a premium for privacy. When installing a window isn’t an option, most roofers will recommend installing a skylight. Skylights are a popular choice especially for bedrooms and bathrooms where natural light and privacy are extremely important.

Reviews

We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.

Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
