Central Coast Home & Lifestyle Summer 2024

Increase natural light in your home N atural light in your home is so much more beneficial than artificial light. It bathes your room in a rich full spectrum hue that light bulbs cannot duplicate, and it increases your body's feel-good serotonin levels. With natural light in your home and the warmth that comes from the sun in some of the rooms of your home, energy efficient windows and skylights are a great way to save money on utility costs and do a great job in reducing energy usage. Skylights are an excellent option for rooms with limited or no windows. They can provide sufficient natural light without compromising privacy. Installing a skylight in your bathroom can brighten up these often-overlooked spaces. Skylights can also offer opening and closing functions that enhance air circulation in your bathroom. Proper ventilation is essential to reduce humidity and prevent the growth of mould in your space. When the skylight is opened, warm, moist air rises and exits through the skylight, promoting a fresher and healthier environment. This can be particularly beneficial for bathrooms that lack windows or have limited ventilation options. The type of glass and material used in your skylight windows play a significant role in the amount of heat they let in. Traditional glass may allow too much heat, whereas specialized glazing can help block heat effectively. If you’re unsure, local window experts can evaluate your fixture’s energy efficiency and how the sun is positioned throughout the day so you can maximize and control the daylight effectively.
