Natural daylight is proven to increase overall wellness in human beings and adding it to a space can be an instant mood booster. By adding daylight inside, architects and designers are creating healthy buildings people will love to be in. Skylights come in all shapes and sizes to add natural daylight in any space. Whether you’re designing a school, gymnasium, art museum or aquatics center – natural daylight is always the perfect addition to a space.

Skylights are a great way to add natural light, and can bring illumination deep into spaces where sidelight struggles to go. But beware – if done improperly, skylights can make lighting patterns worse and create serious glare issues. This happens when clear glazings are used. Direct beam sunlight creates bright patches, up to 10’s of thousands of lux, in an interior that is nominally a 500 lux environment. Occupants will struggle in this level of glare and contrast.

This is easily rectified by use of engineered light diffusing glazings such as Solera in skylights. The impact is dramatic, creating a bright positive functional environment that occupants love to be in. Where applicable, light diffusing skylights are a hugely practical way to make a massive impact on your space.
