Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven
Leisure:Home & Garden
We are on a break for the rest of 2021 so I'm putting out this rerun of my skylights episode from December of 2019. Lauren Furtney, then of Velux Skylights, joined me for the discussion.
Episode recap
New Velux skylights don’t leak
Skylights bring in more daylight than vertical windows
Ve= Ventilation, Lux= light, hence the company name VELUX
Integrated blinds can be programmed
You still need to air out your space even if you have air conditioning
Modern skylights have UV blocking glass
Learning from mistakes of others- use the right skylight for the right application. A deck mounted skylight is for a pitched roof. A curb mounted skylight is for a flat roof.
Don’t put a brand new roof around an old skylight, they are part of the same roofing system. Thanks for listening!
