Article below, mostly written by Monica McCready, says in a very special way what we know to be true:
No one is quite sure how it happens. But it does. And with each new dawn comes the warm reassurance that it will happen again.
The power of the sun to rejuvenate the human spirit is not completely understood. Even with the advances in modern medicine, scientists continue to struggle for a definitive theory. But the fact remains that the effect of the sun on the human soul is real — a feeling which can be found within the comfort of your own home.
Not only will you enjoy the healing effects of natural light, but also the benefits of the perfect environment in which to grow plants and enjoy an unobstructed view of the great outdoors. And for the more practical homeowner, a skylight is one of the best ways to increase a home's value and help cut energy costs through passive solar heating as well.
When installing a quality skylight designed with solid wood frames, double-pane Low E3 insulated glass and maintenance-free aluminum cladding, the only thing you need to worry about is which direction you want the sun to enter your home. Roller shades and Venetian blinds are available to help control how much or how little light you'll want on any given day. And choosing a Low-E argon gas-filled model will increase your home's energy efficiency.
Add a ventilating feature and you are assured of maximum comfort. Ventilating skylight models that open and close allow fresh air to circulate throughout the room with the turn of a rod or the push of a button. You can even choose to operate a ventilating skylight via remote control. All come standard with rain sensors for automatic closing during inclement weather.
