Residential Skylights offer Natural Light
Discerning homeowners often spend large amounts of money on purchasing expensive lighting products to give their homes an intimate and alluring appearance - both inside and out. While this is undoubtedly often an attractive way of doing things the costs can get quite prohibitive. Rather, great results can be obtained just from using the natural light that is already freely available. Residential skylights are a great way of letting Mother Nature herself contribute significantly to your home's charisma.
The Benefits of Residential Skylights
Residential skylights are a great addition to your home for a number of reasons. They create the illusion of size, they allow natural light to stream in and, when installed with the correct glass, they can reduce your heating, cooling and lighting bills.
What About Cleaning Residential Skylights?
Cleaning skylights is often very difficult as they are often extremely hard to reach. You need a sturdy ladder, a bucket of soapy water and a hefty bout of confidence. The clear answer here is to install Pilkington Activ™ Self-Cleaning Glass.
By installing Pilkington Activ™ in your residential skylights, maintenance will be significantly reduced. This glass works with nature to help keep the window clean and clear. By using sunlight to loosen any dirt or dust that accumulates on the surface of the glass, the debris is then washed away by water - either from a hose or from the rain. The water sheets off the glass so there are no unsightly water marks. Could there be an easier way to keep your residential skylights clean?
From conservatories to double-glazing and residential skylights, Pilkington have years of experience in all areas of the glass industry. The Pilkington Activ™ range also helps you get the best value for money from your residential skylights, combining self-cleaning properties with solar control.
