Transform your home with Skylights (roof windows) or Sun Tunnels
Adding windows or tunnels to the roof of your home will add fresh air and natural daylight to your living space and improve indoor climate and ventilation.
Adding a Skylights to your roof will allow a lot more sunlight into your home, naturally reducing the need for artificial lightly holding benefits of reducing electricity bills and creating a natural setting.
There are a variety of Skylights & Sun Tunnels on the market and those which can open will allow fresh air flow, naturally helping ventilation and air quality within your home. Particularly useful in kitchens and bathrooms. Improving ventilation will also contribute to a better temperature control, opening during summer and allowing light to heat the room during winter.
Why is roof ventilation important? This will prolong the life of your building, saving costly repairs due to mould, rot or damp which will occur with the absence of adequate ventilation. Average household routines can create up to14 litres of water vapour within 24 hours, this can cause a significant growth of mould in a short period time if not ventilated sufficiently.
Skylight vs Sun Tunnel
Skylights are available in larger sizes than what Sun Tunnels are, however, Sun Tunnels have a much smaller footprint so can bring light into a space that a larger Skylight cannot be accommodated.
Skylights offer direct access to sunlight through a window in the roof therefore, letting in much more natural light than a Sun Tunnel. Whereas a Sun Tunnel is made up of an acrylic dome, on the end of a pre-fabricated tube with a light diffuser on the other end (magnifying the light and sending into down the tube into the diffuser).
Skylight will require more construction work (internal and external) than what a Sun Tunnel would, therefore the cost will be reflected in this.
A popular supplier of Skyights and Sun Tunnels used across Bath and surrounding areas are Velux.
