5 Ways Skylights Can Transform Your Small Bathroom Renovation

This article offers the reader useful information about installing skylights in a bathroom.

If you have made up your mind to do something with your limited space bathroom, you have come to the right place. This article takes a look at skylight installation and explains the many benefits that skylights bring to any room.

General Lighting

If your small bathroom lacks window space, a well-placed skylight or two will add more than enough daylight into the room. If you are looking for the best collection of bathroom furniture, fixtures and fittings, visit the bath store in Woking or in your area and view a wide range of brand name baths, showers, toilets and vanities, all at fair prices.

Create An Airflow

If you have two skylights fitted – one at each end of the room – you have a nice airflow for maximum ventilation. Double-glazed units are recommended for the best insulation, with skylights that open outward or inward. Stuffy bathrooms encourage mold and with ventilation, the air becomes drier, making for a healthier living environment.

Make The Room Look More Spacious

The daylight streaming into the room will reflect from surfaces such as walls and mirrors, making the room appear larger than it actually is. This is especially pertinent in a small bathroom, where poor lighting doesn’t help matters. To view a few skylights, Google is your best friend and you can see details about top brands with a simple search. If you visit a showroom, you can see a range of skylights in place and make an informed decision.

Cool In The Summer Months

Global warming seems to be happening. Air-conditioning was unheard of in 1980, yet today, most homes have A/C and with a couple of skylights in the bathroom, you can keep the temperature down in the hot summer months. Clear or opaque glass units are available and the units can be customised to fit the aperture. You might wish to add a couple of extractor fans, which will aid in creating good airflow.

Bring In The Sunshine

With a fair-sized skylight, the direct rays of sunlight can filter into the space, which can totally change the ambience of any room. Installing skylights is a simple task for any small builder, who can fabricate a frame and fix that to the roof, then attach the skylight and you are good to go. If you are not looking to have sunlight entering the room, tinted glass is a great idea.

Whether a bathroom renovation or a DIY loft-conversion, installing a couple of skylights offers many benefits and you can view a range of skylights at your local bathroom showroom. They have an in-house bathroom designer who would be happy to help you choose the right layout, plus the sales staff are very knowledgeable on all aspects of bathroom design and renovation. Work out your budget for the project and let the professionals assist you with the planning of your new bathroom.
