If you are looking for the similarities and differences between skylights and roof windows, this article will help!
Roof Windows
A roof window allows natural light, increased ventilation and a view of clouds and stars into your home. Windows can be designed specifically to be a feature of the room. The greatest benefits of roof windows are they can be opened, customized and offer increased ventilation. In addition, these windows will offer a better view of the outdoors than any skylight will.
Skylights
A skylight will open from the ceiling through the roof, allowing natural light to enter the home. This opening can be covered with a translucent and transparent material to release natural light into a room. If you are looking to maximize the amount of light in the home, installing skylights is the best way to go.
