Why Should You Choose Solatube Tubular Skylights for Your Home?

Importance of Ventilation and Light

Most homeowners understand that a well-ventilated home is vital for their family’s health. Adequate ventilation helps to reduce indoor air pollutants, including dust, allergens and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can contribute to respiratory issues, headaches and fatigue. It also prevents moisture buildup, reducing the risk of mold growth and the structural damage it can cause.

On the other hand, many homeowners may understand that ample natural light improves a home’s aesthetics but don’t fully grasp its role in creating a healthy living environment. In fact, natural sunlight is often neglected in favor of artificial light, even during the day. While artificial lighting is convenient, it cannot replicate the full spectrum and health benefits of natural sunlight.

Health Benefits of Natural Sunlight

1. Maintains Body Rhythm: Natural sunlight helps regulate our circadian rhythms, which control our sleep-wake cycles. This can lead to better sleep and overall health.
2. Mood Enhancement: Exposure to sunlight boosts serotonin levels, acting as a natural mood enhancer and helping to combat depression.
3. Disinfectant Properties: Sunlight possesses natural disinfectant properties, reducing the growth of harmful pathogens in your home.
4. Environmental Impact: By maximizing natural light, you can reduce the need for electric lighting, helping to mitigate global warming.

Addressing the Problem

The lack of sunlight exposure is not a minor issue; it directly affects your family’s well-being. Maximizing sunlight in your home is a simple yet effective solution. However, installing more windows or traditional skylights can be costly, messy, time-consuming and sometimes impractical. There is an alternative suitable for almost any home: the tubular skylight.

The Solution: Tubular Skylight

Tubular skylights offer a clean, affordable, hassle-free and long-lasting solution that can be installed in most homes. Given their growing demand, numerous brands have emerged, each claiming to be the best. Instead of getting lost in the sea of options, see why Solatube has remained the undisputed leader in tubular skylights.

A patented daylight-capturing dome lens that redirects low-angle daylight for maximum light capture while rejecting overpowering midday daylight. This ensures consistent daylight throughout the day.

LightTracker™ Reflector:
An innovative in-dome reflector that increases light input for greater light output. It also redirects low-angle winter daylight for maximum light capture, delivering unsurpassed year-round performance.

Transfer Sunlight

Spectralight® Infinity Tubing:
Made from the world’s most reflective material, this tubing delivers 99.7% specular reflectivity for maximum daylight transfer. Not only does this provide the purest color rendition possible, making colors truer and brighter, but it can also run lengths over 30 feet to deliver daylight to lower floors.

Deliver Sunlight
