Why tubular instead of traditional skylights?
Tubular skylights emit more light than traditional skylights because of the high reflectivity of the mirror-like light pipe.
Tubular
skylights are far more energy efficient than traditional skylights.
They are designed with a sealed shaft which minimizes the transfer of
heat or cold into your home, unlike traditional skylights which
generate heat.
Tubular skylights scatter 100% of
the natural light spectrum through the use of a diffuser, thereby
eliminating the spot light effect common with the traditional system.
99%
of harmful UV rays are absorbed by both the specially designed dome and
by the light pipe, thereby eliminating the bleaching effect on rugs and
furniture.
Tubular Skylights are far more
economical; a tubular skylight can be installed in less that two
hours-a fraction of the time it takes to install a traditional
skylight. No structural changes or painting required for the
installation of a tubular skylight.
