Skylights are the perfect solution to additional lighting in your home or office. Aside from providing natural day light, skylights can also help in minimizing heating, cooling, and lighting costs. Skylights are also designed in a variety of shapes and made from many different materials, hence a specific skylight can greatly influence the interior style of your building. Whilst a commercial skylight is generally used for energy-efficiency purposes, the residential skylight is more commonly used as simple lighting additions or equally, a contribution to the overall look of the structure. Recently, skylights have become popular due to the current research advocating that natural light not only helps concentration, but raises people’s spirits, increases productivity, and aids the healing process.
