Benefits of Tubular Skylights

Tubular Skylights provide many advantages over traditional skylights:

  • Tubular Skylights are far less expensive than conventional skylights!

  • Tubular Skylights emit more light per given area, because of the high reflectivity of the mirror-like light pipe. Since they are smaller, they also enable installation in virtually any location.

  • Tubular Skylights are more energy efficient, the cylindrical design minimizes the area for direct light to enter and heat up the area, the thin light pipe radiates any collected heat into the attic area. In addition, the light pipe acts as a sealed shaft, so that very little heat escapes up the light pipe, whereas a tremendous amount of heat rises up the large shaft of traditional skylights.

  • The engineered diffuser spreads the natural light throughout room and enhancing the true colors of the space.

  • 99% of harmful UV rays are absorbed by the tubular skylights special dome, light pipe and diffuser material, thereby eliminating the bleaching effect on rugs and furniture.

  • A tubular skylight can be installed in less than two hours, a fraction of the time it takes to install a traditional skylight. No painting, frame work or drywall is required for installation.
