Many homeowners love skylights.
The true advantage of the sunoptics window is its glazing process.
For the most part they ve been very successful.
Skylights have a low r value provide cold surfaces for condensation interfere with roof venting and contribute to ice dams.
However they re not so happy about high energy bills condensation problems or ice dams.
Still the cost of the skylight is not what makes the sunoptics window so good.
Everybody and their mother remembers when skylights used to leak.
This skylight is the only one on our list to feature a triple glazed window.
This is important because each of the different glazes allows the window to redirect different wavelengths of sunlight.
So you should probably still hate them for it.
An increasing number of homeowners and businesses of all sizes are switching to natural lighting options in an effort to save money.
An added plus to your sun tunnel is that it can improve the energy efficiency of your home.
We have a lot up here in vermont all the light in the winter we can get.
