While acrylic dome skylights were a big hit twenty years ago, flat glass skylights have become increasingly popular and have many benefits.

Here are the top 5 reasons why you should convert to VELUX skylights:

1. Lowers your electricity bill

When the temperature is hot outside, a flat glass skylight with LowE3 protection can reduce heat gain in your home by 65%. On the contrary, when you’re trying to warm your home in cooler months, the argon gas between the double-paned glass keeps your home well insulated and helps retain heat.

2. 10-year hail and no-leak warranty

VELUX flat glass skylights have a 10-year hail and 10-year no-leak warranty.

3. Longer life expectancy

They won’t fade or yellow while acrylic, on the other hand, can add a wavy distortion to the view and is often tinted bronze. Plus, VELUX skylights also come with a Neat® glass coating, which disperses water evenly, removing dirt more quickly and reducing water spots to keep your skylight cleaner longer and ensure greater usability.

4. Reduces noise from outside

Because glass skylights are better insulated, they reduce unwanted noise outside by up to 50% less than an acrylic skylight.

5. Accessories that give you an upgraded experience

Install a climate control and monitoring system that pairs with your smartphone to create a healthier indoor environment. Whether you’re home or away, smart sensors continuously monitor the temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels in your home, and can open or close your skylights and blinds. A plus, these accessories will qualify the installation for a 26% tax credit, which is a unique benefit.
