Skylights help you make a lackluster room look bright. They are able to provide up to 30% more light than regular windows which can transform a room - giving it an open, airy feeling. Similar to windows, skylights can be fixed and operated the same way. While fixed ones may be flat or domed, and they obviously only provide light, there are other kinds of skylights that offer ventilation. Some of them can be opened or closed using a hand crank, a remote control, a wall switch, or an automatic temperature sensor. Skylights offer you multiple benefits at one time. Some of them are noted below: - Skylights save you money by reducing the number of electricity fixtures required to be installed in a room otherwise. They also provide much required warmth during the winter and cooling in the summer that in turn minimizes your need for heating and air conditioning. - During the winter, the sun's heat radiates into a room while during the summer, a ventilating skylight will add to your air circulation by releasing the warm air. This makes the room feel cooler and comfortable. - They come in different shapes and sizes giving you ample choices to select the best for your room.
