Most people have windows on the sides of their houses, but not everyone thinks of adding them to the roof or ceiling. Known as skylights, these fixtures offer several benefits. In fact, the more you know about them, the easier it will be to see that they would be a wonderful addition to your home. 

Why Should You Install a Skylight at Home?

1. Increase Aesthetic Appeal 

The most immediately noticeable advantage of a skylight is that it adds a stunning feature to a room. Day and night, it will offer a breathtaking view of the sky from an atypical angle. The natural light will illuminate the rest of your home as well, highlighting its best features and making it appear more open and inviting.

2. Improve Energy Use 

Letting more light inside allows you to see more easily during the day. This gives you less reason to use electricity, lowering your energy bill and carbon footprint. This is especially beneficial in rooms that only have north-facing windows, which don’t let in as much light.

3. Boost Mood

It’s been thoroughly documented that sunlight contains vitamin D, but fewer people know that this vitamin may help prevent or treat depression and other mood disorders. Sunshine is a mood-booster because it keeps your serotonin levels elevated. In other words, a skylight may help make you a happier and more productive person.
