Are you looking to add more natural light into your home without adding more windows on the front or side of your home? If this is what you are looking to do, we always recommend having a local roof company like Pro Atlanta Roofing install skylights for you. Skylights add so much brightness and value to a home, so if you’re looking for a unique way to add more light to your home, skylights are a great option!
If you’re looking to add a skylight to your home, that gives you the perfect opportunity for other roofing services such as roof replacement or any roof repairs you may be needing. Since the Pro Atlanta Roofing team will already be doing minor construction to add in your new skylights, why not get your roof repaired or replaced?!
Whether you’re looking to add one skylight or three skylights, the Pro Atlanta Roofing team is always here to help. Before you sign the contract and get to work, there are some things you should consider when installing a skylight…
1. Are they suitable for your roof?
Depending on the age and condition of your current roof, it’s possible that it may not be suitable for a skylight. To know if you can add a skylight to your current roof or not, you need to have the Pro Atlanta Roofing company come over and inspect it. They will tell you if your roof is suitable for skylight installation or not.
2. Is glass the only option?
There are common materials such as wood, vinyl, and metal that make up the structure of your skylight. The clear piece that lets the light in is what is called the glaze. When installing a skylight, you have the choice of using a glass glaze or a plastic glaze for the clear part of your skylight. Each option has its pros and cons, so make sure to ask your local roof company which option would be right for you.
3. Do they let in more air and light?
There are two different options for skylights: a fixed option that doesn’t open, and a vented option that allows you to open in close it. Depending on which option you choose, one only lets light in, and the other lets both air and light in.
4. Does the location of them matter?
When it comes to the location of your skylight installation, it does matter. You want to place the skylight in the area that gets the darkest in your home to help bring in more natural light.
5. Do they need regular maintenance?
Like most things in your home, skylights do need regular maintenance. It’s common for skylights to leak every so often, but with proper maintenance, you shouldn’t experience this too often.
