Skylights seem like a luxury, but they are actually more than just an aesthetic addition to your home. In fact, they can further improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your living space. 


Should you decide to have them installed, you’ll want to consider a few essential things. Burr Roofing, Siding & Windows, the premier skylights and roof maintenance expert, shares some of them here.


Where You Install Them Matters.

Rooms with a vaulted ceiling are the perfect spot to have your skylights installed because they’ll enhance the airy and spacious feel of these spaces. But if you want to make the most out of them, you should consider placing them in darker rooms. 


Aside from brightening the mood in these areas, your skylights also reduce your dependence on artificial lighting.


Skylights Can Cause Glaring.

Compared to replacement windows, skylights let in a greater amount of sunlight, which sometimes results in glare. Too much sunlight can make your home unbearably hot and bright. 


By investing in the right type of skylights, however, you can easily mitigate this. Burr Roofing, Siding & Windows offers exceptional skylights from Velux®. Some are available with blinds that allow you to effectively control the amount of light entering your home.


Get Skylights That Meet Specific Needs. 

Skylights can make light control easier and more convenient. But the options from Burr Roofing, Siding & Windows take this even further. Our solar-powered Velux skylights, for example, use daylight to charge a battery-powered control system. 


We also offer choices with built-in rain sensors that automatically close when dark clouds move in.


Aside from expert gutter installation, Burr Roofing, Siding & Windows can handle all your skylight installation needs. 


With our high-quality options from the leading brand, Velux®, plus our certified installers, we’ll help improve the overall look and feel of your home.
