What Are the Advantages of Contemporary Roof Lanterns?

Contemporary roof lanterns are a great home investment for many reasons, some more obvious than others.

Adding one to your home can improve your health and increase the value of your property. Perhaps you’re looking to reduce your bills – roof lanterns can also help with that! 

Do you want to know more about the advantages of contemporary roof lanterns before you buy? Here at Aliwood, we’ve used our detailed knowledge to show you some of the benefits that they can have on you and your home.

Light 

It is a well known fact that natural light can improve your overall health. As humans, sunlight fuels us. Over the last year, many of us have been cooped up inside, resulting in a dramatic change of routine. Multiple lockdowns meant that in 2020, almost half of the employed population were working from home. It is important that as we transition into this new, adapted way of living, we don’t forget what allows us to thrive. 

When we are exposed to sunlight, our skin absorbs Vitamin D, which is a key nutrient for keeping our bones, teeth and muscles healthy. Increasing daylight within your space, whether that be a kitchen or home office, is vital and can help you soak up that sunshine vitamin within the comfort of your own home. 

Natural light, enhanced by our contemporary roof lanterns, can bring sunshine directly into your home. This will also reduce the amount of fluorescent light you are using, which is better for you health. The less time spent around unnatural light, the smaller your risk of developing chronic migraines and eye strain are. 

Summer is approaching and most of us are starting to feel a little lighter. This is not just the change in the seasons, it is proven that sunshine shakes off those winter blues. 1 in 3 people in the UK will suffer with seasonal affective disorder in their lifetime. Contemporary roof lanterns can help relieve the symptoms of SAD by exposing you to more light during those dreary months.

Insulation 

When looking to buy a roof lantern, you want to be sure that you are prepared for the winter. Many people find they are concerned about losing heat, but with a roof lantern, you needn’t worry. Aliwood has curated a product that uses a system called thermal break. A thermal break is a key part of the frame of our roof lanterns and prevents any cold bridges, therefore, cutting down the amount of heat lost. This provides top-quality insulation and will reduce condensation, ensuring your home is well-heated throughout the colder months of the year. 

In addition to the thermal break, Aliwood’s contemporary roof lanterns are made using an aluminum frame. Underneath this, is our core frame made of Redwood timber. Not only is our timber sustainable and good for the environment, but it also contains thermal qualities that encourage heat retention.

Adding to Your Home 

Roof lanterns give any room a little boost, transforming even the dullest of spaces into a sunshine utopia. They brighten up the home, ecouraging that much needed Vitamin D, whilst giving your home the wow factor. Here at Aliwood, we know you want your home looking its best. It’s your pride and joy, your haven; contemporary roof lanterns are just the icing on the cake. 

In the long term, having a roof lantern can be an attractive feature that sets you apart from everyone else. If you’re perhaps looking to sell your property in the future, a roof lantern is a perfect aesthetic choice that will attract buyers to your property. Contemporary roof lanterns immediately open up a room letting natural light flow right through. This makes any space feel bigger and brighter than before. Any buyer will feel refreshed in the instant change when they step into the atmosphere.

Bills 

What else could give you more exposure to vitamin D, improve your home’s insulation and save you money on your bills? Contemporary roof lanterns are a sustainable addition to a home, helping to save the environment and your pocket, without any extra hassle. Using unnatural light within your home is inescapable in today’s digital climate, however, a roof lantern can ease the amount you use by removing the need for artificial light. In turn, this will cut your energy usage and save you money. Due to the unfailing heat retention previously mentioned, you won’t be losing any of the warmth, contributing to your home becoming much more energy efficient!
