Did you know that natural light can help prevent people from oversleeping and overeating? It has a whole host of benefits for our mental health too.
Natural light can create an inviting atmosphere in our homes. With daylight savings beginning towards the end of March, we are blessed with an extra hour of light.
For the best ways to fully utilise every possible hour of sunlight, check out our recommendations:
Install slim-line aluminium windows
As well as making sure your windows are clean, the style of the window can have a big effect on the amount of natural light that makes its way into your home.
Amber’s aluminium windows entice natural light into your home with their large expanse of glass.
The strong, slim frames mean there is plenty of space for glazing, providing homeowners with a full view of (hopefully) sunny skies and maximising natural light.
Take care of your outdoors
In order for natural light to make its way into your home, you may need to pay attention to any trees, bushes and plants growing around your windows and doors that could be potentially blocking sunlight from entering.
Once you’ve trimmed and pruned them, you are likely to enjoy a much lighter home.
Add skylights and roof windows
Many customers opt for solid roofs over glass roofs because of their thermal efficiency and solid feel. But they do fail to take advantage of natural light.
A solution is to add roof windows, which will make your space much brighter. They can also be utilised in the warmer months to increase ventilation.
Alternatively, our lantern roofs are proving to be extremely popular with homeowners looking to capitalise on natural light in their home. They also make a striking feature in your space.
If you want your home to feel light and inviting this spring, don’t delay. Request a quote for our Eclipse aluminium windows, roof windows or lantern roof here.
