An ideal way to harness natural light where windows are ineffective or not even an option, skylights can completely transform a space while allowing you to save on the cost of lighting and add value to your home. As a leading supplier of skylight products and installations in Bundaberg, we’ve put together this FAQ page to answer 10 of the most commonly asked questions people ask about skylights.

What is the purpose of a skylight?

Skylights are windowed openings installed into the roof of a home or commercial building that serve as a means of adding more daylight. Not only do they improve the look of the room, but they can also help you save on energy bills by reducing the need for artificial lighting. Skylights also provide natural ventilation and generally don’t require any substantial building works to complete installation.

Can you add a skylight to an existing roof?

Yes, it is possible to add a skylight to an existing roof. However, the feasibility and ease of installation may vary depending on the construction of the roof and the type of skylight being installed. We recommended consulting a professional contractor to assess specific requirements and structural considerations before adding a skylight to an existing roof.
