Create more pleasant living spaces for young and old alike with VELUX® Skylights!

Whether they’re studying and doing homework or drawing dinosaurs with crayons, kids need well-lit interior spaces to engage and enrich them. The same goes for the adults caring for them. The addition of VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms will provide numerous benefits and result in a more pleasant environment with ample natural light and ventilation. It will be like getting the sun and fresh air of the outdoors while staying safe and cozy indoors.

VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms will be more than just a cool new window with which to view the world. Skylights bring in an abundance of natural light, an essential component in your child’s development.

It’s important for everyone to get outside regularly, but natural light has an even bigger effect on us when we’re growing up.

Add More Natural Light with VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms

First to get an idea of how much natural light we’re exposed to on a daily basis, let’s look at it in terms of lux, the unit with which light is measured. A typical clear, sunny day may exceed 100,000 lux. And a cloudy day can still be as bright as 10-40,000 lux. Gloomy, overcast days in Seattle can even reach 1,000 lux.

Improve Indoor Brightness with VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms

The most popular options for VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms is the VELUX® Fixed Skylight. Compatible with solar-powered, remote-controlled shades, the Fixed Skylight allows bright, natural light to flow into your kids’ room whenever you’d like.

You could also up the ante with a VELUX® Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylight or, depending on your child’s room, one of the VELUX® Roof Windows to provide fresh air to their room as well as natural light.

Coming inside, however, the light gets much dimmer. A brightly lit classroom may only reach about 500 lux. And in a room where your only light source is the TV, you’re only exposed to about 50 lux. Truly, interior lighting cannot compare with the brightness of natural light provided by VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms.

VELUX® Fixed Skylights

Often called traditional skylights, they offer a view to the sky and can be equipped with shades for light and temperature control. They’re ideal for rooms that just need sunlight. The VELUX® Fixed Skylight is perfect for visually expanding areas such as hallways, stairwells, and dark spaces that can be transformed with light.

VELUX® No Leak Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylight

VELUX® No Leak Solar Powered “Fresh Air” Skylight not only brings in natural light through energy efficient glass, but it also opens for fresh air ventilation. Skylights that open allow homeowners to create air flow inside, ridding the air of pollutants that can build up from daily living.

VELUX® Top Hinged Roof Windows

VELUX® Top Hinged Roof Windows will improve the natural lighting of your residential or commercial interiors as well as the circulation of fresh air. At the same time, the design is easy to operate – even with furniture beneath.

The innovative top control bar allows you to install the window lower than an equivalent bottom-operated window to get an excellent view while standing and when seated.

Natural Sunlight Exposure Reduces Myopia or Nearsightedness in Children

According to studies, exposure to natural sunlight during early childhood years will reduce the risk of developing myopia or nearsightedness later on in life. Sunlight exposure promotes the release of dopamine in the eye, which prevents the elongation of the eyes that causes nearsightedness.

VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms will provide much needed natural light that is healthier for eyesight than artificial lighting. So aside from saving on energy and heating bills due to natural light, VELUX® Skylights might also save you from having to spend on glasses and contact lenses later on!

TED Talk on the Myopia Caused by Natural Light Deficiency 

In this TED Talk Dr. Lance Kugler explains how natural light deficiency results in increased incidences of myopia. This can be easily and affordably prevented or addressed by increasing natural light exposure from spending more time outdoors and by allowing natural light into indoor spaces through solutions such as VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms.

The Many Benefits of Natural Light Exposure 

Regular sunlight exposure also helps children produce adequate levels of vitamin D, which helps bone and heart health as well as muscle function.

Numerous studies have even found a link between lots of sunlight exposure during childhood and a reduced risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) later in life.

Along with the physical health benefits of natural sunlight it’s worth mentioning that bright light enhances mood and studies have shown that bright light therapy is an effective depression treatment.

There’s also been evidence to show that children read more fluently and perform better on math tests in brightly-lit classrooms

Bring Outdoor Natural Light Indoors with VELUX® Skylights

So, with children spending less time outside along with everyone in the household, one solution for regular daylight exposure is installing VELUX® Skylights.

Cleaner air is another benefit of VELUX® Skylights for Children’s Rooms. Concentrations of air pollutants indoors are often 2-5 times higher than those outdoors.

You should be ventilating your home as much as possible, especially when the outside air is clean. Buildings that are ventilated more often have been linked to the reduction of “sick building” symptoms, like headaches and eye irritation.

Whenever you’re able, bring more fresh air into your home by opening windows and skylights.
