by VELUX

Homeowners can save money on energy costs, protect furniture from fading, and gain the healthful benefits of better natural light simply by replacing inefficient plastic bubble skylights with modern, energy-efficient glass models.

Annual energy costs savings of $200 can be realized simply by replacing an inefficient skylight with a quality glass skylight (study completed by VELUX America). In addition to cost savings, there are many other good reasons to replace bubble skylights. There are no drafts, less noise, and better durability which provide tremendous endurance to withstand extreme weather.

Flat glass skylights also offer a clear view to outside and are more aesthetically pleasing both from the inside and outside of a home. Replacing skylights can be accomplished quickly and easily by a homeowner with basic tools.
