Solatube Skylights – HSE Performance Series

New Solar-Powered, Fresh Breeze Skylights

Dramatically change any room with natural light and a fresh breeze. The solar-powered skylight captures the sunlight and uses it to recharge a fully concealed battery and control center. The solar-powered skylight is easily adjusted with a remote. Because it is solar-powered, it qualifies for a Federal Tax Credit on product and installation. Our system has a built-in rain sensor that will shut the skylight automatically in the event that inclement weather begins.

Features:

• Solar-powered operable design lets fresh air in
• Tempered/laminated safety glass for hail/impact resistance*
• Low-E glass blocks harmful UV light
• High-performance dual pane glass for maximum thermal performance
• Integrated thermal barriers minimize heat and cold transfer
• The rain sensor automatically closes if rain is detected
• Remote control for easy operation
• Designed for maximum sound absorption
• Qualifies for a Federal Tax Credit

Options:

• SoftLight Glass – This technology provides diffused daylight with maximum thermal performance.
• Skylight Shades – Enjoy your views in the morning and adjust to softly filtered sunlight in the afternoon.

Premium Fixed Skylights

Flat, architectural style and energy-efficient double panel glass (gas-filled) is much stronger and longer lasting than acrylic, and will not craze or crack. Looks beautiful on the exterior of the home, the sky is much clearer and more beautiful from the inside. Better sound absorption (rain, airplanes, etc.) and with high-performance thermal properties – it keeps heat in the winter and blocks heat in the summer.

Clear Glass

Solatube Clear Glass skylights feature dual-plane laminated safety glass and tempered outer glass construction. Argon gas fills the space between the panes to help repel moisture and assist with thermal reduction. The “picture frame” design provides a complete thermal break for enhanced performance, improved aesthetics, and greater flexibility of curb position.

Softlight™ Glass

Solatube SoftLight Glass provides beautiful diffused natural light by reducing glare and spreading light evenly. Our SoftLight Glass Technology provides energy star level heat reduction for maximum thermal performance and comfort. SoftLight Glass gently diffuses daylight that reflects heat and washes your space with brilliant natural light.

Performance Skylight Shades

Solatube exclusive skylight shades feature an attractive, non-woven pleated polyester fabric and a sleek powder-coated aluminum frame that will add contemporary beauty to your home while giving you control over your lighting needs. The shades can be operated by hand or by a lightweight 16-foot adjustable telescoping pole. Our shades are available in both standard and custom sizes.

Dual Pane Glass for Performance and Safety

The Solatube HSE Performance Series glass assembly is created with two layers of glass: a Low-E (low-emissivity) tempered glass pane and a laminated safety glass pane, providing impact protection and security.A 14mm insulated spacer creates a cavity filled with Argon gas. This minimizes the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light as well as glare that comes through the skylight. This delivers outstanding thermal and sound performance,a beautiful aesthetic profile and greater durability. The result is an energy-efficient and soundproof barrier to the outdoors for healthier and more comfortable living spaces indoors.

Optional Fresh Breeze Model for Ventilation

With the operable skylight option, homeowners can open and close their skylight to let the heat out and fresh air in whenever they want it. The Fresh Breeze Skylight is powered by a solar-powered motor to maximize energy efficiency and opens and closes with a remote. Its intelligent technologies include a rain sensor that automatically closes the skylight when there’s precipitation. And perhaps best of all, the Fresh Breeze model also qualifies for a federal tax credit.

Weatherproof and Corrosion-Resistant

To protect our skylight frames from corrosion and provide a beautiful appearance on your home, we construct them with quality aluminum, then powder coat them to prevent surface corrosion and provide a durable, attractive appearance on the roof. And the frames are designed with optimal dimensions and overlap for easy retrofit and weatherproof protection. Additionally, all fasteners used to build and install the skylights are non-corrosive to withstand the toughest elements.

Energy-Efficiency

The HSE Performance Series features energy-efficient glazing and a PVC thermal break which also functions as a decorative finish to the interior, nearly eliminating the transfer of any heat or cold betweenthe indoor environment and the aluminum frame for even more energy efficiency.
