Skylights offer numerous benefits such as improving your home’s aesthetic appeal and functionality through improving natural lighting and providing ventilation to a finished attic. In today’s blog, the leading expert on flat roofing and skylight installation, Done-Right Roofing & Sheet Metal Ltd, shares when is the best time to have skylights installed.
Before discussing when you should install your skylights, let’s take a step back and discuss why you should install them in the first place.
The biggest benefit of installing skylights is the significant increase of natural lighting. Whether you add it into a living room, bathroom, or an attic, skylights provide excellent natural lighting. However, if you’re concerned about UV penetration or the solar heat produced during the summer season, then install skylights with insulated glass. According to roof repair experts, they also improve energy efficiency since you don’t have to rely too much on artificial lighting during the day. Insulated glass also helps reduce the room’s cooling needs.
According to skilled roofers, summer is the best season to have skylights installed since weather interruptions aren’t as likely. After all, you don’t want rain pouring down when you’re carving a hole into your roof. While expert roofers are prepared for these situations, it’s best not to expose your project to such risks in the first place. When you’re having a roof replacement in the future, make sure to add skylight installation into the plans to ensure that your skylights will be easily installed later on. It will also make them less vulnerable to leaks since the roof will have provisions for the skylights.
