The importance of hiring a Certified Installer for your skylights

Skylights are a wonderful addition to any home, allowing natural light to flood into a space and create a bright, airy atmosphere. VELUX skylights are a popular choice for homeowners looking to bring more natural light into their homes. While some homeowners may be tempted to install skylights themselves, it is important to hire a Certified Installer to ensure that the skylights are installed properly and safely. In this blog, we will explore the importance of hiring a Certified Installer for your VELUX skylights and the benefits of doing so.

 

1. Safety

The most important reason to hire a VELUX Certified Installer for your skylights is safety. Installing skylights requires working at height, which can be dangerous without the right equipment and training. A certified installer will have the necessary training, equipment and experience to work safely at height and ensure that the skylights are installed securely.

2. Proper Installation

Skylights that are not installed properly can cause a range of issues, including leaks and drafts. A VELUX Certified Installer has been trained and has the expertise to ensure that the skylights are installed correctly and that all flashing and sealing is done properly. This will ensure that your skylights are weather-tight and will not cause any damage to your home.

3. Warranty

VELUX skylights come with a warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. However, this warranty is only valid if the skylights are installed by a professional installer. If you attempt to install the skylights yourself, you risk voiding the warranty and being responsible for any repairs or replacements that are needed.

4. Energy Efficiency

Properly installed skylights can help to improve the energy efficiency of your home by bringing in natural light and reducing the need for artificial lighting. A professional installer will ensure that the skylights are properly sealed and installed with the appropriate glazing, which will help to keep your home comfortable and reduce your energy bills.

Skylights are a major architectural feature of your home and can have a big impact on its overall appearance. A professional installer will ensure that your skylights are installed in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and complements the design of your home.

Hiring a professional installer for your VELUX skylights is essential to ensure that they are installed safely, properly, and in a way that maximizes their energy efficiency and aesthetics. With a professional installer, you can rest assured that your skylights will provide a beautiful and functional addition to your home for years to come.
