A house is a true life investment, as it will never diminish its value no matter the market or the economic background. Moreover, real estate investments are among the safest because, either way you look at it, people will always require a stable place of staying. But a house value is given by several elements, including the area, the time when it was built, its surface, interior conditions and designs, as well as the number of windows.
It is known that a house full of big windows will always have a retail price value higher than a house without windows or with smaller ones. The amount of natural light is extremely important because it not only gives the impression of a bigger place, but it also adjusts the interior temperature, contributing to a more heated house. Houses which have a mansard or an attic are prone to higher prices as well, as it is considered that a generous mansard or attic can count for another room or even another apartment. Having at least one window and a skylight (or "roof window") is mandatory for an attic, as it is the only source of natural light. Skylights can turn a dull and opaque place into a vivid one, full of sunlight and warmth if they are chose correctly. Here is a list of tips you should take into consideration before purchasing or building your own roof window:
? What type of skylight is best suiting your room(s)? Depending on your house structure and architecture, as well as on the interior design, you can opt for smaller or bigger skylights. Bigger skylights have the advantage of allowing an immense amount of sunlight in, creating a space full of warmth and elegance. Moreover, depending on your roof view they can be a good acquisition as they offer you the sensation of "naked sky" or camping outside.
? Do you want an Energy Star qualified model of window roof? There is a multitude of skylights, each coming with its own set of instructions and specifications. A model which is rated with the Energy Star means that it has been crafted from a specific material which allows the heat to remain inside and will save you big money on your monthly household expenses. You can opt for a variety of window quotes as well to best suit your interior furniture and d?cor. PVC and aluminum window quotes are the most suitable for places facing rainy seasons. They allow the right amount of ventilation so that your house will always be aerated and without mold, as they can also absorb and retain a big amount of heat. Skylights facing south might be the best investment during winter as they will reduce your heating bills. However, they are also prone to absorbing extra heat in the summer which will make the room almost unbearable during hot summer nights without a proper ventilation.
? Choose the right material both for window quotes and glazers. They can be made from plastic or glass, plastic being the cheaper version.
