Why You Should Consider Installing Skylights in Your Melbourne Home or Business

Not all homes and businesses are blessed with an abundance of natural light, for a number of reasons. Skylights can help overcome a lack of natural light, and bring many benefits to your home or workplace.

Natural Light Is Healthier

Long exposure to artificial light, whether it be fluorescent, halogen, or LED, can strain your eyes and lead to fatigue.

People with sensitive nervous systems often report that artificial lighting is too bright for them. In fact, some supermarkets are now beginning to offer specific times during the week when the store is more ‘sensory-friendly’, which includes having 50% of the harsh overhead lights turned off.

During the daytime, a quality skylight will usually enable you to comfortably use the room, with no artificial lighting at all. It may even ward off Seasonal Affective Disorder in some people.

Reduce Electricity Costs

With the ever-increasing costs of electricity, many of us are considering where we can reduce our electricity consumption.

Skylights enable you to have soft and diffused natural light entering rooms during the day, without electricity. Once a skylight is installed, there are a few ongoing costs associated with them. They are therefore a great investment that may generate considerable savings over the long term.

You Can’t Go Wrong with A Skylight

It offer many benefits to both buildings and people. Make the most of these beautiful, passive generators of light and atmosphere, and arrange your skylight installation in Melbourne now.

Improve working conditions
Just like at home, the presence of natural light can provide benefits to workers – and therefore employers. In fact, in a survey of one million employees from 69 countries, nearly 77% of them stated that natural light in the workplace is important to them.

While you may not be able to have all staff sit near a window, installing skylights in strategic locations will mean you can provide the feel of natural light in the workspace – and reduce your costs.

Skylights appeal to buyers when selling your home
Few people like living in dark homes. Even fewer like buying them. Natural light is one of the key selling points of homes, spruiked heavily in real estate ads. By installing a skylight, you will increase the appeal of your home to more people.
