Can skylights and sun tunnels brighten 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.

Brighten Your Home Without Overheating

Everyone wants more natural daylight, especially in darker areas of the home. But no Florida homeowner wants more heat—especially in the summer. That’s where skylights and sun tunnels shine.

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 the Florida climate.

Health Benefits of Natural Light in Your Home

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

🌞 Health + Wellness Perks of Daylighting:

Improved mood: Sunlight boosts serotonin, the feel-good hormone.
Better sleep: Exposure to natural light helps regulate circadian rhythms.
Reduced eye strain: Natural light is easier on the eyes than harsh artificial lighting.
Boosted productivity: Studies show people perform better in well-lit environments.
Vitamin D production: Safe daylight exposure supports bone and immune health.

Florida-Ready Skylight Technology

Today’s skylights and sun tunnels are designed specifically to endure Florida's unique climate:

Marine-grade flashing systems prevent water intrusion
Low-profile, leak-resistant builds resist storm uplift
Impact-resistant glass stands up to hail and debris
UV filtering lenses reduce heat and block harmful rays

Installation Matters: Don’t DIY This

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, our skilled 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. Don’t rely on a temporary patch—get it done right the first time.
