How to Select the Ideal Daylighting System for Any Space

Bright, naturally lit room

Finding A Skylight for Every Ceiling is easier than you might think, thanks to advancements in daylighting technology. Traditional skylights sometimes present challenges due to roof structure, attic obstructions, or concerns about heat gain. However, Solatube Daylighting Systems offer a revolutionary approach using advanced reflective technology within a compact tube, as these incentives from organizations like the US Department of Energy [1]. This design allows natural light to be channeled from the roof to virtually any ceiling, even in rooms without direct roof access.

The small footprint and flexible tubing allow Solatube systems to navigate around obstacles in your attic, making them a versatile solution for spaces where traditional skylights may not be feasible. Furthermore, the design minimizes heat transfer, addressing a common concern associated with older skylight models. To further manage heat within your home, consider the benefits of Solatube Solar-Powered Attic Fans. By drawing hot air out of your attic, these fans can help keep your entire home cooler and potentially reduce your air conditioning costs.

Choosing the Right Solatube for Your Home

  • For smaller rooms with limited roof access, the Solatube 160 DS Daylighting System is an excellent choice due to its compact size and highly reflective tubing, which can bring a surprising amount of natural light into even the tightest spaces.

  • For larger rooms or areas requiring more illumination, the Solatube 290 DS Daylighting System offers a greater light output and is designed for easy installation, transforming dark, underutilized areas into bright and inviting spaces.

  • When planning your daylighting project, consider your local climate and check for any available energy efficiency incentives or rebates from your local energy provider [2] that might apply to your installation.

No matter the configuration of your ceiling or the layout of your home, there's likely a Solatube Daylighting System that can bring the benefits of natural light indoors. From small closets to expansive living areas, experience the difference that natural light can make. Contact us today to explore the perfect daylighting solution for your home.
