Skylights are a classic design component that have become a modern craze! Windows in the roof are nothing new, as evidenced by centuries-old architecture all around the world. At the same time, modern skylights are more and more sought after by new homeowners looking to maximize natural light while maintaining energy efficiency and ensuring privacy. Modern skylights have the ability to vent, or open, providing fresh air in addition to abundant natural light. They can also be equipped with shades for glare and climate control, and some can even be programmed to work with smart technology for automation or voice activation. And with an average lifespan of 20-30 years, skylights can start as a craze but easily become a classic component in any home. Mike
