Tubular Skylight
A tubular skylight lets natural sunlight enter from your roof through a very flexible reflective tube, and then diffuse it to give a spacious and airy look to your rooms. Due to its design, it collects sunlight very effectively and channels it, even on unclear weather. By using this advanced form of skylight, we can collect sunlight whether it is early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and irrespectively of what the present angle of sun is.
By using a tubular skylight, one can easily change a dark, small room’s image, making it look more spacious and agreeable to the sight, without a big investment. Nothing can be so refreshing and uplifting than a ray of natural light directed by a tubular skylight. That’s because a tubular skylight distributes light evenly throughout a room.
A tubular skylight consists of a very flexible reflecting tube with a receptive lens on the top and a diffusing lens on the bottom. It can be easily installed in houses where regular skylights can’t, for example, when there’s a relatively long distance between your roof and your ceiling. You can install a tubular skylight regardless of your roof structure because of its flexible tube, which makes linking the roof and ceiling a simple process. And all that at a cost that’s not too different from that of a regular skylight. In case there aren’t any obstacles to negotiate between the roof and the ceiling, you can set up a fixed tubular skylight for even better results. There are a few new tubular skylights with inflexible tubes available in the market; their reflectivity is higher than that of tubular skylights with flexible tubes, which results in a better light output.
Tubular skylights come in 3 different sizes: 10", 14" and 22". The 10” and 14” are best for small places, like hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, whereas the 22" is the largest one available can provide enough light for the largest rooms in a house.
The installation procedure is also very easy, and anyone with building skills can do it using standard tools. It takes two to three hours to convert you dark room into the best room of your house by enlightening it with tubular skylights. Another main benefit of using these skylights is that the advanced technologies with which they are constructed prevent harmful UV rays from entering your house and damage your carpet or furniture.
So, as you can see, a tubular skylight has many advantages. You can find more specific information on Internet or through a local dealer.
