Can skylights and sun tunnels lighten up your home without overheating it? Yes. Today’s skylights and sun tunnels are designed to bring in natural light while blocking unwanted heat. Energy-efficient and hurricane-resistant, they enhance your indoor space without raising your electric bill or the temperature inside your home. Sound too good to be true? Read on to find out more.

How to Brighten Your Home Without Heat

Everyone wants more natural daylight, especially in darker areas of the home. But no Florida homeowner wants more heat, especially in the summer when your energy costs can go up. That’s where skylights and sun tunnels shine.

Many modern skylights are flat, tubular, and low-profile. Unlike traditional dome-style skylights, they’re discreet and energy-efficient. They don’t just brighten a space: they do it without increasing your cooling costs. Many options even include impact-resistant glass, ideal for weathering hurricanes and coastal storms that hit Ormond Beach. Most of the time you won't hear any noise with modern skylights.

Health Benefits of Natural Skylights in Your Home

Bringing natural sunshine into your home has more than aesthetic value. It may also benefit your family’s health:

• Improved mood: Sunlight boosts serotonin, the feel-good hormone.

• Better sleep: Exposure to natural light helps regulate sleep rhythms.

• Reduced eye strain: Natural light is easier on the eyes than harsh artificial lighting.

• Boosted productivity: Studies show people feel and work better in sunlight.

• Vitamin D production: Safe daylight exposure supports bone and immune health.

Are Skylights a Good Idea in Florida?

Yes! Today’s skylights and sun tunnels are designed specifically to endure Florida's tropical climate. Features include:

• Marine-grade flashing systems to prevent water intrusion and leaks

• Low-profile, leak-resistant builds to resist storm uplift

• Impact-resistant glass stands up to hail and debris

• UV filtering lenses reduce heat and block harmful rays from fading floors

Installation Matters: Don’t DIY Skylights

Flashing is what seals your skylight to your roof—and it's critical. Poor flashing leads to leaks, water damage, mold, and costly ceiling repairs. At Triangle Roofing Inc, our skilled father and son team ensures precision installation to keep your skylight watertight and warrantied. Silicone caulk is not enough. Over time it breaks down in Florida’s heat.
