3 Tried-And-Tested Methods Of Enticing Light Into A House
It fills your heart with glee when your house is enriched with natural light and it will often bring a smile to your face.
Could the inside of yours do with more of it? With spring on the horizon and the clocks shortly set to go forward an hour, now is the time to change that and take full advantage of the extended daylight hours. Giving the sun an open invitation into your indoor space is achievable in a series of ways, but we have gone for three of the best known and most effective strategies you can take.
Have aluminium windows fitted
Much of the natural light your home receives comes courtesy of your windows. So that they capture more of it, you should upgrade to slim-line aluminium windows from James Oliver.
Prioritising glass over frame, these aluminium windows will provide you with the most incredible external view and offer a larger surface area for the sun to pass through.
We managed to create such a slender window profile due to the flexibility of aluminium, although it has to be said that aluminium is tremendously tough and a material that can resist corrosion and the ageing process.
Remove any outdoor obstructions
Do you have any overgrown trees, bushes or plants sitting in the way of your windows and doors that are stopping little or big pockets of light from entering?
Give them a trim and cut them back with your garden shears, and once you have, just watch your living space become illuminated like never before. This extra light will also help heat your home if you have energy efficient windows.
Install roof windows or a skylight
There’s so much sky and you ought to harness this as much as possible.
When it comes to solid roofs, it’s a good idea to include roof windows in the design for this purpose, and which will also come in handy for ventilation.
A product that will have an even more dramatic impact is a roof lantern or skylight, one huge glazed covering, typically found in lifestyle extensions, kitchens etc.
Unspeakably stylish, they will flood the respective space with light thanks to their beautifully crisp lines and angles. Look into tinted glass if you want to establish a certain atmosphere with them.
