A skylight is a fixed window set into the roofline that does not open. A roof window has the ability to open with a pivoting handle and may incorporate a screen. A skylight or roof window installation should be handled by a professional roofer just like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochesterroofs.com\/services\/\">roof<\/a> replacement or new gutters. If you are considering a window installation project, here are our top 5 benefits of installing a skylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Natural Light and Solar Heating<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to save on energy bills is by installing a skylight. Plus, studies show that exposure to natural sunlight can have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/depression\/benefits-sunlight\">mood-lifting benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Fresh Air and Ventilation<\/strong><br> Air out your stuffy home by opening up your roof window. The fresh air will cool down your living space without turning on your air conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Save on Energy Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern, energy-efficient skylight installations can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/design\/windows-doors-and-skylights\">save you money<\/a> on your monthly heating, cooling, and lighting bills. Ask a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochesterroofs.com\/request-service\/\">professional roofer<\/a> for the installation that works best for your home<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Increase the Value of Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skylights&nbsp;are unique in that they upgrade both the interior and the exterior of your&nbsp;home&nbsp;at the same time. This can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and increase the value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>Add Natural Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural\nviews from a skylight can make a room feel more spacious. The addition of a new\nwindow installation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowesforpros.com\/a\/9-ways-to-make-small-spaces-look-bigger.html\">introduces\ndispersed light<\/a> instead of direct light, which can eliminate shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start\nyour window installation project? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochesterroofs.com\/request-service\/\">Contact Above All\nRoofing<\/a> for a free evaluation and estimate today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skylights and roof windows can boost curb appeal, let in more natural light, give you a great view of the day and night skies, and so much more. &nbsp;Know the difference?
