What is your experience with installing skylights - do they really help make a room brighter and more comfortable? I'm thinking about doing this in my house, but I'm not sure how cost-effective and practical it is.
We installed skylights during a loft conversion last year, and honestly, the change was huge. The room went from feeling like a dark storage space to a bright, usable area that we now use every day. The natural light alone made it feel bigger and more inviting, and we barely need artificial lighting during the day.
We used fixed skylights from Regal Glass Group — their models are manufactured in EU certified and designed for energy efficiency. We chose units with self-cleaning glass, which has been a nice bonus since they’re hard to reach. Also, the insulation is excellent — we noticed it stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which helped with heating costs.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, they’re not the cheapest upgrade, but they really do improve comfort and add value to the home. For us, it was absolutely worth it — both practically and in terms of how much we enjoy the space now.
