Skylights (13)

Homes with skylights feel open and airy by letting in natural light. Fixed and flat skylights are quite common and useful for streaming sunlight into rooms. To enjoy ventilation, choose door skylights. These have swing doors usually made of glass that you can prop open. For a cost-effective roof light solution, consider dome skylights. These have slightly convex, transparent polycarbonate covers that are stronger than glass. Choose sun tunnels to channel beams of daylight to parts of the home where fanlights are impractical.
