Skylights can add to the overall architectural design of your home if you choose a skylight that complements your home\u2019s design. Skylights add a touch of modern flair to a home, but if placed in a prominent location on a traditional-style home, it could detract from the traditional charm.<\/li>\n<li><b>Energy savings<\/b>. When skylights face the south, you can increase the temperature of a room (ideal for cold winters), and if you choose skylights with built-in shades, you can close them to prevent the space from getting too warm.

The most common types are going to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/skylights\">plastic or glass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skylights with <b>plastic glazing <\/b>tend to be less expensive and more durable than other materials. Acrylic glazing is the most affordable option, but they\u2019re easily scratched if hail or debris hits it. Polycarbonate is more durable. All plastic glazing is susceptible to discoloring with age.<\/li>\n<li>Skylights with <b>tempered glass<\/b> are scratch-resistant and heat-treated to improve durability. If these skylights break, the glass will shatter into tiny granules. Due to the way it shatters, windows with this type of glass are a safe option. Plus, they block noises from the outside.<\/li>\n<li>Skylights that use <b>laminated glass<\/b> feature a thin layer of PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) sandwiched between two layers of tempered glass. If these windows were to break, the tempered glass granules would stick to the center layer instead of falling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"section--5\" data-toc-header=\"Ratings\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Ratings<\/h3>\n<p>Skylight manufacturers run their products through various tests for blockage of UV rays, solar heat gain, and heat loss. So when browsing skylight options, it\u2019ll help if you know what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/energy-performance-ratings-windows-doors-and-skylights\">energy performance ratings<\/a> mean.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>U-Value.<\/b> This rating measures the heat flow (both going in and going out) throughout the skylight (frame, glazing, and all related parts). The lower the U-value, the better the skylight resists heat flow.<\/li>\n<li><b>R-Value<\/b>. This rating measures the glazing\u2019s insulation value. The higher the R-value, the better it insulates. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanekwindows.com\/what-is-low-e-glass-and-does-it-make-windows-more-energy-efficient.aspx\">low-e insulating glass<\/a> will have argon gas between the panes, thus offering twice as much insulating power as your average dual-glazed glass.<\/li>\n<li><b>UV Blockage<\/b>. This rating is an approximation by the manufacturers and measures the percentage of UV rays blocked by the skylight\u2019s glazing.<\/li>\n<li><b>Shading coefficient<\/b>. This rating measures how much solar heat gains through the skylight\u2019s glass. The lower the shading coefficient is, the lower the solar heat gain is.<\/li>\n<li><b>Visible light transmittance (VLT)<\/b>. This rating indicates how much sunlight the skylight comes through the skylight. If the glazing is tinted, it blocks glare (and sunlight) and will have a low VLT rating. Skylights with high VLT ratings will provide lots of natural light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"section--6\" data-toc-header=\"Shape\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Shape<\/h3>\n<p>Skylights come in various shapes and sizes \u2014 circles, triangles, rectangles, and so on. However, the shape you should be looking at is the shape of the glazing. Flat glazing may seem the go-to choice, but raised designs like domes, pyramids, and arched shapes allow more light to enter from extreme angles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--7\" data-toc-header=\"Operable controls\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Operable controls<\/h3>\n<p>Manufacturers who make skylights that can be opened may offer several ways of operating them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Manual<\/b>. Skylights that can be opened manually are an economical choice for homeowners who want to enjoy some fresh air. These units can be opened and closed by using an extension pole.<\/li>\n<li><b>Motorized<\/b>. Motorized skylights can be controlled by a switch on the wall or remote control. A simple two-function skylight can be wired into a wall-mounted light switch. Complex skylights that feature built-in shades or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fakro.ca\/products\/radio-control-system\/features-of-skylight-electric-control-systems\/\">smart home integration<\/a> can be controlled through touchscreen control.<\/li>\n<li><b>Automated<\/b>. Automatic skylights will operate when they detect rain, wind, and when a room reaches a specific temperature. These skylights can also be programmed to operate at preset times via wireless remote control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"section--8\" data-toc-header=\"Deck-mounted vs. Curb-mounted\" data-toc-type=\"sub\"><\/div>\n<h3>Deck-mounted vs. Curb-mounted<\/h3>\n<p>The frame of a deck-mounted skylight will be connected to the roof directly, whereas a curb-mounted skylight will be connected to a \u201ccurb,\u201d or a raised wooden frame attached to the roof.<\/p>\n<p>Deck-mounted skylights are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.house-energy.com\/Skylights\/Deck-Curb-Fleshed.htm\">easier to install<\/a> and don\u2019t require any water-sealing. That said, they don\u2019t offer a varied selection of sizes, so it may not fit an existing roof hole.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--9\" data-toc-header=\"How much do skylights cost? \" data-toc-type=\"head\"><\/div>\n<h2>How much do skylights cost?<\/h2>\n<p>The average homeowner can expect to spend around $1,750 to install a skylight, although the typical price range is between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/cost\/doors-and-windows\/install-a-skylight\/\">$1,016 and $2,589<\/a>, according to HomeAdvisor. The actual price will depend on various factors, such as the type and size of the skylight, the roofing material, accessibility, and the structure of your home.<\/p>\n<p>Fixed skylights are the most affordable (and often most popular) models, as they typically cost $150 for the skylight, and the labor typically starts at $500 per skylight. If you\u2019re installing a skylight that requires electrical work, you\u2019re looking at an additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/cost\/electrical\/hire-an-electrician\/\">$160 to $520 to hire an electrician<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"section--10\" data-toc-header=\"Do skylights increase home value: The verdict\" data-toc-type=\"head\"><\/div>\n<h2>Do skylights increase home value: The verdict<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to determine how much value skylights add because it depends on the market and the target buyer. They\u2019re sort of like pools in that way. They appeal to some and are a turnoff to others.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead of looking for monetary value, consider the value they add to the overall enjoyment of the home. Research shows exposure to sunlight provides a whole host of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/depression\/benefits-sunlight#benefits\">mental health benefits<\/a>, but homes with skylights can also attract buyers. The added sunlight can help make any small space feel bright and cheery. \u201cSkylights improve a small older home with low ceilings,\u201d Rushton says.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re selling your home soon and want buyers to appreciate your skylights, talk to your real estate agent for advice \u2014 especially if your roof or the skylights are on the older side. Rushton constantly reminds her clients that installing new skylights goes hand in hand with a new roof. She says, \u201cNobody will install a skylight on a roof that\u2019s not brand new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other than telling potential buyers you have skylights, do some strategic staging with plants and eye-catching accent pieces near the skylight. For example, if you have a skylight in the kitchen, create an interesting vignette under the skylight. So when a buyer notices your bowl of fruit or stack of cookbooks, they\u2019ll look up at the source of light and be pleasantly surprised by your skylight. Also, if your skylights can open, ensure they\u2019re open (weather permitting, of course) so there\u2019s plenty of fresh air flowing through the space, which will make the room feel larger, airier, and fresher \u2014 all of which appeal to buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">Connect With a Top Agent to Sell Your Sun-Filled Home<\/h3>\n                        <p>According to HomeLight data, top agents sell homes more quickly and for more money than average agents.
