Beautiful Tongue and Groove Skylight Shaft

We want to add one more skylight.

The owners of this nearly 100 year old home in the South Park Hill neighborhood of Denver appreciate Skylights. They already had six installed in the home when the contacted us to add one more.

The benefits of a modern skylight glass are many.

  • Modern loE3 glass is remarkably sophisticated—letting in plenty of light and blocking the majority of the sun's heat.
  • The coating also blocks over 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting your furniture and flooring from fading.
  • Solar room darkening shades contribute to energy savings by blocking the sun's heat. They also act as an insulator to keep warmth in at night or on cold winter days.
  • Reducing heat gain during the summer months leads to lower energy bills.
  • Helps keep a more consistent temperature throughout your home, reducing hot spots and providing a more comfortable living space.
  • Brightens your rooms and reduces the need for artificial lighting.

A rather unique location for another skylight.
