We get it: as a contractor, you've got a lot on your plate already. Why add skylights to the mix? Isn't it easier to just slap a roof on a building, be done with it, and move onto the next project?
Maybe.
But, skylights literally open up to a world of opportunity and benefits, both for you and the owners of the buildings in which you put them. Here's how:
Skylights For More Daylight & Fresh Air
VELUX skylights allow homeowners and other building occupants to take full advantage of two main benefits: daylight and fresh air. Additionally, when installed with light controls, they can help improve indoor environmental quality all hours of the day. What's more: our venting skylights contribute to greater thermal comfort and ventilation, another important factor for improving indoor air quality by removing excess heat, moisture, odors, and other indoor pollutants, reducing the need for air-conditioning throughout the year.
Simply put, skylights offer an easy solution for many air quality issues homeowners may have down the line. By offering skylight solutions, you're able to help with the innovation of homes and buildings of the future.
The Environmental Benefit Of Skylights
Sustainable living is arguably more important now than ever. Being able to offer home solutions that are environmentally friendly will not only help your customer's cooling and heating bills down the road, it can also help the planet as a whole.
High quality, energy efficient skylights are an important part of constructing today's green-friendly homes and buildings. And the effect that natural light has on us all - physically, emotionally, and psychologically - is well-documented. In other words, the profound impact of the benefits of natural light can positively affect our environment for future generations. And, as a skylight installer, you get to be on the front lines of energy efficiency and sustainable living for a better and brighter future.
Skylight Installation: It's Easier Than You Think
Certain VELUX skylights can be installed in under 2 hours. And many more models take just half a day to install, from initial cut to finished product. Part of creating the best skylight has always been to take into account a simple installation. The more straightforward the installation, the less room for error there is, as well as eventual issues, like leaks or cracks, down the line.
So, really, why not take a few extra hours to provide all the benefits we've talked about so far to your customers if it's so simple? When you become a VELUX installer, we make sure you have everything you need to ensure installations are fast, efficient, and secure. We also have tons of installation instruction documents and videos if you need any help along the way.
Skylight Replacements: They're Important Too
A lot of homeowners who buy homes that already have skylights usually end up with the old, plastic bubble skylights that are a far cry from the modern products VELUX offers. Instead of closing them in, it's worth it (and more) to replace them with one of our venting skylights.
In fact, we've already talked pretty extensively about how simple it is to replace a bubble skylight with the VELUX Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight! It's simple, fast, and financially feasible for most every customer you encounter. And by adding this service to your bag of tricks, you can easily expand into newer ventures.
