VELUX America now offers free apps for smart phones and other personal electronic devices that allow uses to easily visualize rooms bathed in daylight from both traditional and tubular skylights.
Chan Hoyle, national marketing and communications manager for VELUX, says that the apps give homeowners, homebuilders, remodelers, decorators, architects, installers and others a hand-held tool that shows exactly how different skylights will look in a specific location. “You simply take a picture with your device of the room location you’re considering for a skylight. Then choose from a built-in photo gallery of skylights to place, position, and size the units. You can see exactly how it would look in your chosen location,” he says.
You can email the finished image to friends, family, a real estate professional, or to a supplier for their thoughts and, when you’re ready, there’s a GPS-based installer locator for easily finding the qualified installer closest to you.
Whether you want to open up a dark interior room or make an architectural statement, the free VELUX Skylight Planner is the perfect tool to see how skylights would look in your home.
