Below, we outline why you should have a skylight installed in your home:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skylights Buoy Moods<\/span><\/h2>\n

Adding a skylight to your home increases the amount of natural light within it, which decreases feelings of depression. <\/span>Sunlight causes the human brain to release serotonin<\/span><\/a>, a neurochemical that boosts mood and helps us focus. Simultaneously, \u201cdark lighting\u201d at night encourages the brain to release melatonin, which helps us sleep. More sleep and more sunlight thus improve one\u2019s overall outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>natural lighting from skylight installations<\/span><\/a> can even ward off the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which affects individuals nationwide. Nevertheless, increased exposure to daylight can help combat this trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Skylight Installation is Environmentally Sustainable<\/span><\/h2>\n

These days, we are all keenly aware of the need to create a cleaner environment and sustainable energy sources. Augustine Roofing thus installs <\/span>Energy Star-approved skylight products from Velux<\/span><\/a>, designed to prevent drafts and HVAC loss and improve your home\u2019s energy efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, a skylight allows sunlight to warm a home\u2019s interior. Even when the weather turns cold, flooding rooms with natural light reduces your reliance on fossil fuels for heating. When you call Augustine for a <\/span>Velux skylight installation<\/span><\/a>, you can feel good about doing your part for future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skylight Installations are Financially Sound Investments<\/span><\/h2>\n

Skylight installation costs can be challenging to quantify because\u2014unlike remodeled kitchens or expensive bathrooms\u2014they involve ample savings and benefits that quickly outweigh their expenses. For example, skylights help reduce utility bills because they warm rooms by letting in sunlight. They also make rooms comfortable and spacious, improving homes\u2019 aesthetic appearance and \u201ccurbside appeal.\u201d Plus, homeowners may be eligible to receive a solar-powered <\/span>Velux skylight installation tax credit of up to 30%<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skylights Increase Air Flow and Reduce Heat<\/span><\/h2>\n

Adding screened skylights that can open and close gives homeowners a practical resource for additional fresh air. Indeed, high-quality Velux skylights can be opened and closed by remote control. Cutting-edge skylights also come equipped with rain sensors that shut the window automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with permitting fresh air to enter, opening skylights allows property owners to ventilate spaces during Virginia\u2019s hot summers. This measure can be so effective that homeowners reduce their energy usage\u2014mild days no longer call for powering up HVAC systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skylights Help Maintain Privacy<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most homeowners must pull back drapes and open windows to get fresh air inside, which allows neighbors and passersby to see right into the residence. Yet by installing skylights, you won\u2019t have to trade your privacy for fresh air and sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n
