Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Natural light provides a balanced, full-spectrum glow that more closely mimics daylight conditions outdoors, unlike artificial lighting, which can cast a harsh or yellow-tinted tone. Exposure to natural light supports your circadian rhythm, helps you feel more alert, and brightens everyday routines.
-
- One of the biggest reasons bathrooms need ventilation is to remove the moisture that builds up in the space during a shower. Reducing humidity is key in eliminating the havoc water can cause to your bathroom walls and the accumulation of mold. Additionally, ventilation helps draw out stale odors that often linger in bathrooms.
-
- In most municipalities' building codes, there is no hard line on requiring bathroom exhaust fans. Although ventilation in bathrooms is required, it can be from either an opening window or a fan.
-
- Condensation is a moisture problem caused by excessive water trapped in a room. Most people believe skylights contribute to condensation issues because they see mist appear on the window pane, but skylights actually help eliminate condensation. By opening your Fresh Air Skylight System, you can allow the moist, warm air to flow out of the room.
-
- VELUX Fresh Air Skylight Systems are designed to help prevent condensation with several built-in features. They can open to release warm, moist air that would otherwise build up indoors. Unlike metal or vinyl, the wood frame and sash act as natural insulators, helping maintain a stable interior temperature. Energy-efficient Low-E glass keeps the inside pane warmer, reducing the chance of condensation forming. And if any moisture does appear, a built-in gasket system helps drain it safely to the outside.
-
- When ceiling space is limited in a bathroom, you still have options. Instead of a traditional skylight, a Sun Tunnel® Skylight can go in your space. It brings in all the benefits of natural light without taking up too much room. Learn more about VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylights.
