Upgrading your existing flat roof for one incorporating a skylight is a fantastic idea, especially if your room is lacking natural sunlight. Having a skylight installed will flood a once dull room with tonnes of rays giving to a stunning feel of warmth and sunshine. Even during the winter months the winter sun will shine through. Having natural light can help to improve mood and mental wellbeing and help regulate a healthy sleeping pattern. Skylights can be installed as fixed panes, manual opening panes or electrically operated. Opening skylights will improve ventilation, allowing heat to escape and fresh air to come in. Having a skylight in the summer evenings reduces the need for internal lighting by extending the daylight hours entering the room. Having a skylight fitted to a flat roof can add extra value to a property by giving it a modern desirable feel. The cost of the upgrade may be gained back in the equity raise in the house.
