Indoor gardens are an excellent solution to the inclusion of greenery within the home, however, they are largely dependent on natural lighting. This is where skylights made of glass will fit in, as they get the space full of sunlight, allowing plants to flourish, in addition to providing a bright welcoming ambiance.
The primary advantage is the closeness to the nature. A skylight does bring the sky inside to enable plants to grow properly and the room has a sense of airiness and openness. The space is vibrant and alive even during cloudy days because of the light added to it.
The other advantage is energy efficiency. The new generation of skylights may be dual glazed or contain Low-E finishes, making rooms cosy without much heat gain during the summer months, and preventing unnecessary heat loss during the winter months. The skylights are also operable making ventilation possible, a feature that is particularly important in garden rooms where moisture levels require to be moderated.
Skylights can be used in any number of ways because of design flexibility. Frameless or minimum-frame structures are the most open and maximise light, whereas delicately framed ones can also be used to augment the architecture of the house. The self cleaning glass features cut maintenance expenses since the skylight is always clean without undergoing regular scrubbing.
Finally, glass skylights do not just light inside gardens, but they make them. The environment they produce is natural and serene and can be considered to be connected with the outside environment, allowing the space to be perfect to relax, grow some plants, or merely bask in the sunlight a bit inside.
