I’m not a big tv watcher. Don’t get me wrong, I can waste a few hours on Facebook or TikTok and Pinterest is my jam. I love scrolling through the posts, admiring the creativity of others, and imagining how my home might look with trendy paint colors and new counter tops. But what I’ve learned is that good bones can make any home look magazine worthy!
The architecture or design of a room might lend itself to the placement of a sofa. Floor coverings and rugs might add a punch of needed color or warmth. But what about the ceiling? What about the lighting? The often forgotten fifth wall is vital in creating a wellbalanced space. That’s where skylights and Sun Tunnels can be a game-changer
Skylights are windows on a roof that allow ambient light to flow into a living space. They give homeowners the opportunity to engage with nature by seeing the moon, stars, trees, and sky. Light from these units can be controlled with VELUX solar-powered roomdarkening solar-powered blinds. Moreover, VELUX also offers these units the ability to open and allow fresh air to penetrate living space!
Sun Tunnels or tubular skylights include a roof dome, ceiling diffuser, and highly reflective tubing connected to each part via the attic. While domed acrylic units are most commonly installed, VELUX also offers the TLR flat glass sola tube for south facing solutions. Fourteen-inch Rigid Duct Sun Tunnel is 3,9 times brighter than a 100-watt light bulb and illuminates 325 square feet of living space. Ten-inch units are best for smaller living areas and brighten 150 square feet. While it is not possible to see out of the Sun Tunnel or tubular skylights, these units make a quick and dramatic difference in dark living areas.
