Reduce Energy Use with an Easy Skylight Replacement

  

ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS:

Homeowners can have an annual energy costs savings of $200 simply by replacing an inefficient skylight with a quality glass skylight. Now that's a home improvement that pays!

Homeowners can save money on energy costs, protect furniture from fading, and gain the healthful benefits of better natural light simply by replacing inefficient plastic bubble skylights with modern, energy-efficient glass models.

Annual energy costs savings of $200 can be realized simply by replacing an inefficient skylight with a quality glass skylight (study completed by VELUX America). Replacing skylights can be accomplished quickly and easily by a homeowner with basic tools.

In addition to cost savings, there are many other good reasons to replace bubble skylights. There is less noise, no drafts, and better durability which provide tremendous endurance to withstand extreme weather. Flat glass skylights also offer a clear view to outside and are more aesthetically pleasing both from the inside and outside of a home.

VELUX Curb Mount skylights are an ideal replacement option. They are Low-E2 coated which provides additional thermal performance, preventing heat gain in the summer months and heat loss during the winter. All VELUX models meet Energy Star standards and are available in convenient sizes to fit approximately 90 percent of all pre-existing curbs. To maximize your skylight experience, consider electric venting skylights (model VCE) which are remote operated and equipped with dual rain sensors to close at the slightest drop of rain.
