Hello, Just wondering if installing a skylight (or sky window? - doesn't need to open) into an existing house is difficult or expensive? I would like to install a large rectangular one above the dining area. The adjacent window looks out to the carport. I'm looking to install a roller door on the carport as a value add in the future but if the roller door is down, it will darken the room. I was thinking this could help with this as well as giving a bit of a 'wow' factor to the room. It would be great to get your thoughts
We installed a small one in my parents house (bathroom) - made a massive difference! Not sure if pitch of the roof and orientation of the block (I.e North facing) changes the amount of light coming in. I do recall in the showroom there are now some that have LED in-built as well. The showroom also had the rectangular 'windows' that have the electric blind attached. Looked awesome and plenty of light. The small one cost $580 installed. Think it was called a sola-tube
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think we have the tube type in the kitchen. I was leaning more toward the window types for the dining area so we get the extra light as well as a nice feature in the room as well.
