Sun Tunnels and Skylights

May 31, 2022

There are many benefits of installing sun tunnels or skylights in your home. The installation process can be fairly simple. For example, here are a few things to consider before your installation.

Cost Effective

First, make it cost effective. Why deal with the hassle of installing a light fixture that involves an expensive electrician. A sun tunnel or skylight could be the perfect solution. If you have dark or dim areas around a stairwell, hallway, closet or bathroom, this could be a great way to add more natural light. And without the expense of hiring an electrician to wire in a new light.

In addition, if you don’t already have an existing skylight and are looking to have one installed, there are extra costs. These costs include drywall, painting and possible structural modifications. If the expense of a new skylight is not the right fit, a sun tunnel could be a great cost effective option. Because sun tunnels are easy to install, there is no need for any painting, extensive drywall repair or structural modifications.

Flexibility

Finally, sun tunnels or skylights may not be an option for all roofs or roofing types. But, it never hurts to ask your roofing contractor before your roofing project. Sun tunnel installation or skylight replacement can be an easy add on if you are already in the process of replacing your roof.
