Modern Skylight Benefits Outweigh Old Fears
2013-01-03
The green building and remodeling movement puts great emphasis on natural lighting, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency.

"Whether as a playroom, home office, or extra bedroom, finishing or remodeling your bonus room with venting skylights, or with roof windows, which open wider to provide egress, could be the highest value, yet lowest cost per square foot option you can choose," says Joe Patrick, who heads national product management for VELUX America.
