Bathroom Skylights

Illuminate your body, mind and spirit with natural light by adding a skylight to your bathroom. Natural light has many proven benefits such as combating depression and improving your mood. Bathroom skylights are an excellent way to allow fresh air and natural light into the room. If you have a small bath; a skylight can make the room appear larger. Privacy, especially in the bathroom is also an added bonus.

There are several types of skylights: ventilating, fixed and tubular. Ventilating skylights allow air into the room. They can be operated by remote control, electric on/off switch, hand crank, or temperature sensor. Fixed skylights are for added light only. Tubular skylights allow natural sunlight to be redirected from the roof through a highly reflective tube.

The benefits of tubular skylights are numerous. Because they are frameless, installation is easy and can be done in a couple of hours. They are energy efficient and relatively inexpensive. Light is distributed evenly and there are no ultraviolet rays so carpet and furniture do not fade. These skylights are small and fit where traditional skylights don’t. They are seamless so when installed correctly they will not leak.

Installation can be done by a contractor or there are many do it yourself kits available. Prices depend on size. You can buy a tubular skylight for around $165 for a smaller model and $600 or more for larger models.
