The Splendor of a Skylight

A skylight is a feature that is installed for a variety of reasons. It may be to let the natural sunlight pour into an interior; to enhance ventilation and even for an aesthetic edge to increase the overall value of your home. Technically, the glass used in skylights is laminated glass with an interlay that prevents shattering.

Here are four top reasons why people in Nairobi, Kenya are installing skylights: 

1. Natural Light
A skylight lets the natural sun’s light and heat stream into an interior from a vantage point which will make an interior cheerfully well-lit, spacious and refreshing.

2. Fresh Air and Ventilation
The skylight windows can be opened when the weather is just right and help the fresh air in through cross ventilation. There is nothing as refreshing as the cool Kenyan breeze to invigorate your senses and enjoy nature and cools down your living spaces without turning on the air conditioner.

3. Decreasing Energy Costs
A skylight allows the natural heat to seep in which is perfect for the East African weather and will decrease heating costs. Apart from the inlet of natural sunlight which can allow spaces to be heated, the cross ventilation an open skylight allows can cool the temperatures. The result is a drastic cut in heating as well as air conditioning costs. The smart thing is to install a skylight built and installed by a trustworthy company so that its leak-proof and is comprised of laminated glass!

4. Increasing Resale Value
There is no doubt that modern families are looking for interiors that are eco-friendly and a skylight is definitely one such eco-friendly installation in a home which will hike its resale value. 

However, it is crucial that a skylight is comprised of the most superior quality laminated glass with "safety glazing” and an interlayer which prevents it from breaking and falling. Investing in poor quality equipment without solid warranties or choosing the placement of your skylight without proper consultation would be a definite risk.
