Whether you’re fond of fiddle leaf figs or mad about monsteras, quality plant care means providing the right amount of sunlight for them to photosynthesize, creating energy they use to grow. VELUX® Skylights can make adding plants to your interior design easier to curate a jungle-vibe home.
VELUX® Skylights Come in Three Types:
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.
VELUX® Fresh Air Skylights
Available in electric or solar-powered models, these skylights open with a remote control or smartphone app to create airflow in addition to brightening the space. They’re ideal for rooms that need fresh air and sunlight, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
VELUX® Sun Tunnel Skylights
Also known as tubular skylights, Sun Tunnels consist of a lens mounted on the roof connected via a highly reflective aluminum tunnel to a ceiling-mounted diffuser that looks similar to recessed or spot lighting.
The orientation of your VELUX® Skylights on the roof will affect the type of light they provide and the intensity of the light. Consider the type of natural light you need before you install a skylight in your home.
North-facing skylights – Produce softer, diffused light throughout the day. Best for plants that need indirect light.
South-facing skylights – Bring in more direct daylight throughout the day. Best for plants that need bright, direct light.
East- and west-facing skylights – Positioned for direct sunlight in the morning and late afternoon, respectively. Outside of the morning and late afternoon, both will fill the room with bright, but diffused light. Best for plants that need some direct light, but not a whole day’s worth.
Sun Tunnels – Because Sun Tunnel skylights funnel sunlight through a tunnel, they provide bright indirect light. Placing plants directly underneath a Sun Tunnel will provide the brightest light, while other plants can benefit from medium light levels found nearby.
VELUX® Skylights Brighten Spaces That Can’t Have Windows
Small bathrooms, hallways, laundry rooms and bonus rooms are all spaces that can benefit from a touch of greenery, whether it’s a pothos hanging at the end of a hallway, a toilet top fern garden or colorful calatheas in the laundry room. But what should you do if the room in question has no source of natural light?
Adding a VELUX® Skylight or a VELUX® Sun Tunnel can transform interior rooms like bathrooms, hallways, laundry rooms and bonus rooms that either lack windows or have only a single, small window. And with sunlight from above, plants can now thrive in these spaces.
Installing VELUX® Skylights to hallway bathrooms brightens the space for the people using it and plants can live there under the skylight’s ample sunlight.
VELUX® Skylights That Open Create Airflow Indoor Plants Need To Be Healthy
Houseplants breathe and use oxygen in addition to sunlight for photosynthesis, so a healthy indoor habitat includes air movement. Circulating air around indoor plants helps prevent moisture buildup on leaves and remove waste gases plants release.
VELUX® Skylights that can open create airflow through what’s known as the chimney effect. As air warms up, it naturally rises. When a skylight is opened along with a window below, cooler air is pulled in through the window to create a soft indoor breeze. And not only is this healthy for your plants, but it also has the added benefit of releasing polluted indoor air to keep the home fresh.
VELUX® Skylights Enhance Your Houseplant Décor
Not only do VELUX® Skylights bring natural light to new areas of the home, allowing indoor plants to thrive, they also open up new possibilities for designing with plants.
