The primary reason for installing a skylight in your home is to allow getting in natural light. This can reduce your reliance on artificial lighting, lowering power bills. More importantly, natural light can improve mood. So, installing a skylight or roof window could improve the lives of those living in your home. According to studies, people who work in rooms with windows have better sleep quality. Natural light has a different color balance than artificial light sources. This fact can interfere with sleep and circadian rhythms. You get the benefits of letting fresh air into your home if you choose a skylight that you can open. Besides, good ventilation is essential for reducing mold and mildew growth and eliminating odors.

The Velux’s Skylights and Roof Windows Advantages

Must-Have Accessories for Skylights and Roof Windows

Installing a skylight is a fantastic design choice. But remind you will need some accessories to get the most out of your investment. Do you want to take a nap or sleep in? You will likely want to install a VELUX blind to block sunlight when you need a shady environment. Nowadays, many VELUX blinds are electrically powered. So you do not have to get up to open and close them. Some even use solar panels to generate power, saving you money on your electricity bills. If you prefer to control your sunshades manually, manual blinds are also available. Other accessories include systems for opening and closing the skylight. They can be helpful if your skylight is in a difficult-to-reach location. 

Look at the VELUX accessory line to see how to make your skylight more secure and practical. Kreunen Construction, in partnership with Velux USA, offers a wide range of skylights and roof windows for your home. The solar-powered fresh-air skylight is a popular choice for this health-conscious homeowner. Also, you can choose the electric version of the fresh air skylight. The only extra cost would be connecting the electricity. Are you on a budget but still want the extra light and fresh air? There is always the manual fresh air skylight! Do you want the extra light? You can have Kreunen Construction install the fixed-mount skylight. This skylight can save you even more money than the manual skylight. The top-of-the-line solar fresh air skylight is simple to open and use. The solar power fresh air skylight captures available daylight to recharge the battery. It has a hidden battery-powered control system.

This unit also includes a built-in rain sensor. So, if you forget to close the skylight and it starts raining, the Velux skylight will close itself. This feature prevents water damage to your home. “How will I know what skylight and roof window is best for my home?” many people wonder. Allow Kreunen Construction to inspect your home. A Kreunen Construction Three Star Specialist will tell you whether you need a curb-mount or deck-mount skylight. You will need a curb mount skylight if your home has a low slope roof (three pitches or less). Instead, most other installations use the deck mount skylight. On a low-slope roof, a curb mount skylight will raise the skylight above the deck, aiding in water diversion. But water will accumulate on the top end of the skylight and might cause leaks. 

The deck mount will raise the skylight off the deck, keeping water away from the skylight itself. The deck mount is a low-profile skylight that looks great on steeper sloped roofs. Watersheds quickly on a steep slope roof. So, using the deck mount Velux skylight with the flashing kit will keep your skylight watertight. The best of all? It comes with a ten-year warranty! The next decision is whether to go with a solar, electric, manual, or fixed-mounted skylight. This is a matter of personal preference and how much money you have set aside for your project. The solar-powered fresh-air skylight with blinds is slightly more expensive. But it is the best skylight available. Install it and then forget about it. The only thing you will need after that is the remote control! The Velux remote control can control all your skylights. Also, you can have a remote for each room if you have skylights throughout your home.

Does your home have a flat ceiling? Do you believe it will avoid installing a skylight or roof windows? Don’t worry! All you need to do is build a lightwell in your attic. It is critical to have a trained professional build your lightwell to capture all the available light from the Velux skylight. A poorly constructed lightwell can reduce available light by up to 30%. You will not want to lose this significant amount. If your room’s ceiling is flat, that does not mean you can’t use a skylight. A curb mount skylight is designed for flat roofs and can provide light to your room. Light shafts from VELUX skylights can channel light from a skylight or roof window into any room in your home. Thus, it will make it brighter and more comfortable. The tunnel can channel light around obstacles and into any part of your home using reflective interior surfaces.

Controlling the environment with blinds, 50% of consumers would like to have light control over their skylight. Only one out of every ten people has it. Humans enjoy drama. So, one way to add drama to a room is to add natural light. Natural light has a positive effect on how we perceive a room. Velux skylights with blinds change a room’s mood by adding balance and privacy while saving energy. Likewise, room-darkening skylight blinds, and double-pleated or flat blinds, can transform a room from day to night. Do you need to nap in a room with a skylight? Close the room-darkening blinds, and your room will be blacked out and ready to go. 

The skylight blinds filter, soften, and diffuse the light that enters the room. The light filtering blind is ideal for rooms that need diffused light, such as the kitchen and living room. Also, the Venetian skylight blind is ideal for directing and controlling the amount of light in a room. Venetian blinds are an excellent choice for a room such as a bonus room. Velux offers eleven factory-installed blinds in a variety of colors. Blackout blinds are available in white, beige, green, gray, and charcoal. Meanwhile, Venetian and light filtering blinds are available in white, classic sand, misty brown, shiny cappuccino, and filtered white.

Illuminate that dark spot that never seems to get enough light. Hallways, bathrooms, and closets always seem to need more lighting. Use the Velux sun tunnel to illuminate an unsightly area of your home. You can spread a soft light throughout the room using a Velux sun tunnel and a ceiling diffuser. Velux offers a flexible tunnel for easier installation and a reflective, rigid tunnel for the brightest light. We recommend the rigid sun tunnel because it adds extra light to the room. Because of the pipe’s inflexiblility, you can’t use it in every situation. So, you need a direct line from the roof to the room you are trying to light. A ten-year warranty covers all Velux skylights and roof windows installed with the Velux flashing kit by a Three-Star Specialist. For all details on the skylights and roof windows, and warranty information, consult your Three Star Specialist.

Contact your local Kreunen Construction or VELUX representative in Memphis, Tennessee, Olive Branch, or Northern Mississippi to learn more about skylights and roof windows. You can get information that will assist you in determining whether a skylight is good for your home.
