The possibilities are endless when renovating a bonus room, but the one design element that will take things to a new level is natural light from skylights.
Maximizing Space
Bonus rooms are often uniquely shaped—long, narrow, or tucked into an angular corner of the house. Skylights help infuse enough light to make these distinctive rooms shine.
Bedroom Conversions
Building codes require two points of egress in case of emergency. Roof Windows open wide enough to satisfy code while also making a more beautiful bedroom full of natural light.
