If you live in an urban apartment or condo, you are likely to know the struggle of limited light, and the feeling of being closed in, especially in the core of the home - However, if you reside on the top floor, you have an untapped solution, the glass skylight.
Modern architectural skylights have advanced beyond simply adding daylight, they can change the experience of your home, making even a small urban apartment feel welcoming and airy.
The Power of Overhead Light
Skylights are growing in popularity, due to their ability to distribute natural daylight more evenly than traditional vertical windows, ensuring an even spread of daylight through the room.
When light filters in from directly above, your eye is naturally drawn upward. This simple psychological trick instantly makes the ceiling feel taller and the room feel wider. This boost in perceived space is invaluable in urban settings where square footage is limited.
Connecting To The Outdoors
Direct overhead daylighting can provide a rich connection to the outside nature, with frameless skylights such as the Fixed Flushglaze Skylight giving the effect of a seamless transition from interior to exterior. This steady flow of natural daylight also helps to regulate your body's energy and mood.
Bringing Light to the Darkest Spots
Skylights are essential for brightening the parts of your home where standard windows aren't possible:
Windowless Bathrooms: A small vented skylight brings in light and allows humidity to escape.
Interior Hallways: A skylight can transform a dim, forgotten corridor into a bright, welcoming transition space.
Kitchens: Positioned directly over a counter or island, a skylight provides perfect, shadow-free task lighting.
