Moderate changing temperatures.
The installation of VELUX skylights with shades can help your home moderate changing temperatures with seasonal automation. In warmer temperatures, open skylights and closed shades keep your home cool by bringing in fresh air and keeping out the heat. When it's cold out, closed skylights and open shades add the warmth of natural daylight while preventing heat from escaping.
