Skylights: Bring More Natural Light Into Your Vermont Home

Natural light can completely change how a room feels, making it brighter, more open, and more inviting. When adding a traditional window isn’t practical, a skylight can be a great solution.

Skylights are windows installed directly into the roof, bringing natural light into kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, stairways, finished attics, and other areas of the home.

At Polli Construction, we are a certified VELUX skylight installer, helping Vermont homeowners choose and install skylights that work with their home, roof, and lifestyle.

Fixed or Venting Skylights?

Fixed skylights provide natural light and a view of the sky without opening. They’re a good choice when you don’t need additional ventilation.

Venting skylights open to bring in fresh air. Since warm air naturally rises, opening a skylight can help release warm, stale air that collects near the ceiling. This can be especially helpful in kitchens, bathrooms, finished attics, and rooms with vaulted ceilings.

Proper Installation Matters in Vermont

Vermont roofs have to handle snow, ice, rain, wind, freezing temperatures, and changing weather conditions. That makes proper skylight installation especially important.

Installing a skylight involves more than creating an opening in the roof. Flashing, waterproofing, insulation, roof pitch, interior finishing, and surrounding roofing materials must all work together.

Proper installation helps prevent problems such as water intrusion, drafts, condensation, and heat loss.

Choosing the Right Skylight

VELUX offers a variety of skylight options for different homes and applications, including fixed and venting models along with different glazing, shade, and control options.

Choosing the right skylight depends on the room, roof construction, roof pitch, ventilation needs, surrounding trees, sun exposure, and where the skylight can be positioned.

Skylights can be particularly worth considering when you’re already planning a remodel, addition, attic renovation, roof project, or new home. Planning early gives you more flexibility to incorporate natural light into the overall design.

As a certified VELUX installer, Polli Construction can help determine the right skylight, location, and installation approach for your home.
