The benefits of a modern skylight upgrade are many.

  • Modern low E3 glass is remarkably sophisticated—letting in plenty of light and blocking the majority of the sun's heat.
  • Reducing heat gain during the summer months leads to lower energy bills.
  • The coating also blocks over 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting your furniture and flooring from fading.
  • Helps keep a more consistent temperature throughout your home, reducing hot spots and providing a more comfortable living space.
  • Brightens your rooms and reduces the need for artificial lighting.
