A Skylight in New Castle
Of all the Sunspace Design product lines, our range of elegant skylights and glass roof systems are perhaps the most flexible. Unlike a conservatory or sunroom, they usually don’t require a significant footprint adjacent to the home. Adding to the flexibility of this line is our design and construction approach: in our previous Introduction to Skylights we explained how our skylights and glass roof systems are crafted to flood spaces with natural light, as opposed to merely spotlighting areas below. Our units (which avoid the obstructing elements so frequently found in “ganged” skylights) come in virtually any style, and can be tailor-designed to meet your unique requirements. This gives us an edge over the generic, prefabricated alternatives.
Skylights can also be introduced to almost any space in your home: kitchens, bathrooms, family rooms, and even walk-in closets. Today’s Construction Showcase entry features a beautiful skylight added to the ground level of a New Castle, New Hampshire home. The homeowners contacted Sunspace Design hoping to replace an aging single-glazed aluminum skylight that was no longer wanted. We developed the new skylight’s solid mahogany frame in the shop, saving the client time and money. The new, thermally efficient skylight was delivered to the site and installed by our crew. The skylight’s unique placement introduces an abundance of natural sunlight to the lower levels of the home, and we think you’ll be interested in the results, so let’s dive in!
