Why is Roof window better than Dormer Windows

Posted on February 26, 2021March 16, 2021

Natural light comes with tremendous benefits. In addition to being essential for our wellbeing and survival, natural light helps us in so many other ways. The study suggests that humans tend to spend more time indoors. When it comes to providing optimal natural light and thermal comfort to our interiors, Keylite roof windows do a better job than conventional dormer windows.

Allow more natural light 

Many houses are surrounded by trees and impediments that reduce the inflow of natural light. Townhomes and small structures have fewer windows than required. Because of their conventional design and vertical pitch, dormer windows may not bring desired light inside the house.  Roof windows offer an excellent solution for these situations. 

Roof windows are versatile and stylish, available in many sizes and shapes. They are designed to let in more light than conventional dormer windows. Because of their sky-facing orientation, roof windows can capture maximum light when the sun moves across the sky. 

Cut down your energy bills

Many home-owners prefer roof windows over dormers. Roof windows brighten up the dark spaces of your home and improve the aesthetics and inner environment. In addition to providing direct natural light, these windows bring in thermal warmth during winters. This action will help reduce your dependence on artificial energy sources. Additionally, your energy bills will also significantly go down. 

As roof windows follow the angle of the roof, they can allow in maximum natural light and are designed in such a way that they are useful in all seasons. 

Improves Ventilation 

When it comes to improving indoor air quality, ventilation plays a significant role. In terms of design and functionality, dormer windows are very conventional. Because of their vertical placement and basic design, dormer windows do very little to improve your indoor air quality. 

On the other hand, roof windows come with various features. They can be adjusted according to the outside weather conditions. They have dual functionality: you can keep them opened or closed. When opened, they will allow light and air to pass through them. This action will help improve the ventilation of your indoor spaces. Proper ventilation not only freshens up the indoor air but also helps maintain air quality and comfort. Moreover, it will help remove indoor pollutants and harmful entities from the air, making your interior space more auspicious, healthy, and livable.

Impact on your health 

As we spend 90% of our time indoors, it is important to understand the importance of indoor air quality.

Good indoor air quality is crucial for the wellbeing of occupants of any building. Our indoor space has many items that emit harmful pollutants. To thrive, we need to have pollutant-free indoor air. 

The benefits of having roof windows installed in your house are many. One of them is improving your health by providing you with healthy air to breathe. Roof windows, unlike conventional dormers, allow fresh air to move through your entire interior spaces. This action also allows indoor air pollutants to escape from your house, thereby providing you and your family a healthy place to live in.
