Skylight Installation in Mankato

Frequently Asked Questions About Skylight Installation

What Types of Skylights Are Best for My Mankato Home?

There are several types of skylights to consider, each with its unique benefits for different spaces. Ventilated skylights can improve airflow and are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms, while fixed skylights offer enhanced insulation and are suitable for living rooms or bedrooms. Dome skylights allow a wider diffused light spread, which can be beneficial in areas needing natural light all day. Our team at Bauer Roofing & Construction LLC assists in evaluating your space and advising on the most suitable type of skylight, taking into account climate, architectural style, and personal preference.
