Natural light can benefit your home in many ways. But apart from that, it can also create a positive impact on your own well-being.
Sunlight is a great source of vitamin D, which helps prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of heart disease. It can also be quite helpful for people to manage seasonal depression. Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD for short, is caused by the changes of season. It typically starts around the beginning of fall and lasts throughout the cold months. By getting your daily dose of natural light (whether directly or indirectly), you can manage your mood or disposition better.
Installing new windows can help ensure that you’ll get a good amount of sunlight every day. The number of windows that a room should have depends on some factors so it might be best to consult with an expert. Your contractor will gladly help you select a window that best matches your needs.
If space is an issue, and you don’t have enough room for an adequate number of windows, you might want to consider skylights or solar tubes. Best to seek the advice of a window professional and a roofer so that you can plan this accordingly.
