This Summer Install Hometech's Solar Venting Skylights

Many people do not realise it, but skylights make a room look much larger than it actually is. They can really lighten a space up and make it more enjoyable, and if you are building a new home or considering remodeling your existing home you should think about putting in skylights. This is an attribute that has been growing in popularity and it will be easy to see why once you have looked at some of the advantages. Also, when houses are built really close together it might be really difficult to obtain privacy while letting in some light. However, you will be able to achieve both of these things when you install a solar venting skylight from Hometech.

Skylights are an excellent way to add value and beauty to your home while allowing natural light to shine brightly into your home, and there are several benefits to using an energy efficient skylight in one or more areas of your home.

Essentially, skylights are windows installed in the roof. Sunlight naturally filters through the opening into the room, lending not only warmth, but also the perfect alternative to artificial lighting during daylight hours.

How do skylights save the homeowner money throughout the year? Skylights allow up to five times more light into a home as opposed to a traditional window of the same dimensions. With a skylight, you are taking advantage of solar energy streaming into your home, and that means the heat kicks on less frequently. This translates into money saved over time.

Skylights add an open and airy feeling to any home. Kitchens and living rooms are always popular rooms for skylight installations, but bathrooms are slowly gaining in popularity. Added privacy and warmth during the colder months are wonderful benefits of the addition of a skylight in any size bathroom.

Solar powered skylights are an ideal solution for out of reach applications, where both natural light and fresh air are desired, and are the perfect solution for remote control without the hassle of running power. The FVS is powered by a photovoltaic panel connected with an integrated battery, and comes complete with integrated rain sensors which are active within a few seconds after the skylight is open.

Z Wave Technology offers seamless opening and closing of the skylight with the simple push of a button without having to install a control unit or fitting wires.

The FVS comes complete with a removable insect screen - the perfect accessory for a Kiwi bug free summer, so for more information on solar venting skylights, solatube skylights and attic ladders please go to http://www.hometech.co.nz .
