Bathroom Skylights

Let Natural Light Into Your Bathroom

The benefits of adding a skylight to your bathroom are numerous.
The skylights of today are very different from those of the past. There are now more types and sizes available, providing a variety of possibilities based on design, requirements, and price.

Skylights are no longer thought of in the same way thanks to Velux. They provide a variety of skylights, including fixed, opening, manual, automated and with blind versions to block out light and heat that work with both contemporary and traditional home designs. They also have alternatives for blinds with rain sensors that automatically close and reduce/block light and heat in a variety of colours to match interior colour schemes.

These kinds of skylights give natural light that has a calming impact to any space in the house and also create an attractive feature. Despite the fact that restrooms benefit greatly from them.

Here are three wonderful advantages of bathroom skylights.

1. Good Old Fashioned Natural Sunlight

Bathrooms are frequently compact spaces with scant windows that let in little natural light. Skylights enable natural light to stream into the bathroom throughout the day, decreasing the need for energy.

Skylights provide a lot of natural light, which enables the adoption of moodier, darker colour schemes without giving the bathroom a cramped, contained appearance.

Dark places are ideal for mould growth. Skylights provide natural light that prevents the spread of mould, keeping the grout in your newly renovated bathroom looking clean and fresh.

Natural light is preferable for applying cosmetics since it accurately reflects how well (or not) the application has been done before leaving the house.

2. Heating and Cooling as Well as Ventilation

In southern Australia, restrooms are frequently too cold in the winter and too hot and muggy in the summer. In the colder months, the natural light from a skylight will softly warm a bathroom, saving on heating costs. Simply draw the blind closed during the hottest hours of the day to keep the bathroom cool on those warmer days to prevent the space from getting too warm.

While there are heating alternatives, including heated floors and heat lamps, to warm up our chilly bathrooms in the winter, managing the humidity and heat in a bathroom in the summer presents totally new challenges.

The seclusion demanded by nearby residences typically precludes residents from opening the blinds and windows wide enough to enable ample light and ventilation, even in bathrooms that do have a respectable-sized window to admit light.

Skylights that open brightly in this area. Heat rises. The extraction fans are helped by the shower’s steam escaping via open skylights. Additionally, the humidity and temperature in the bathroom are decreased by the natural air flow through open skylights. It is a further excellent method of preventing mould.

3. Attractive and Feel Good

In any interior area, natural light provides a cosy and pleasant impact. However, skylights provide much more than just greater light. They add form, expand the space, attract the eye upward, and enhance the impression of space, radically changing the look and feel of the entire space. Any decor may benefit from this appeal, but bathrooms benefit the most.

Skylights let in the outside world. Nothing is more soothing than taking a bath beneath an open sky while star-gazing or cloud-gazing, regardless of the time of day.

Of course you can add skylings to other rooms including your laundry and kitchen and hallway.
