Not only does natural light create drama, it actually alters the way we feel about living space in a positive way. VELUX skylights can help dramatize any room in your home
Controlling your environment
Five out of ten consumers want light control on skylights. One out of ten have it. See how easy it is to control the light by adding a skylight blind to your VELUX skylight.
Drama
Balance
A perfect example is how carefully positioned skylights can help bring harmony to a home. Positioning skylights above windows opens up the space and reduces glare. The room is now functional, flexible and relaxing.
Privacy
Homes are being built closer to one another and the balance of providing sufficient natural light and privacy has become an issue. That’s why 65% of home buyers request light from above through skylights in their bathroom, a room where privacy and light is of the utmost importance.
Energy efficiency
The addition of skylight blinds can increase the overall energy efficiency of your skylight by 45%. In the summer, on high heat/sun days, close the skylight blinds to reduce potential solar heat gain. In the winter, on cold nights, close your skylight blinds to provide an extra layer of thermal insulation to keep warm air indoors.
Room Darkening Skylight Blinds
This double pleated or flat skylight blind can convert day into night, blocking even the brightest sunlight, which makes it ideal for rooms that require total room darkening, such as bedrooms. The skylight blind can be either manually or solar powered and therefore does not require wiring at installation. Simply snap into place and operate with an included keypad remote.
