More than just a skylight
Cutting-edge technology is helping to bring light into previously dark spaces
Light is crucial to our mental and physical wellbeing but many New Zealanders live in homes where it is in short supply.
The good news is that Solatube’s revolutionary products can transform dim, dark interiors quickly – and without breaking the bank. What’s more, a series of innovative add-on options are taking the core product to a new level of sophistication and efficacy.
The Solatube concept is a simple costeffective alternative to traditional skylights and works by capturing and diffusing natural light, which is introduced through an optically enhanced dome lens, installed on the roof of the house.
The light is then transferred inside via the world’s most reflective tubing and is instantly targeted to precisely the places it’s most needed in the home’s interior – dramatically enhancing the atmosphere and usability.
Now, homeowners can take their Solatube experience even further by combining a new skylight with the Ventilation Add-On Kit, carefully designed to help keep the interior of the house dry thanks to its highly efficient extraction properties.
This option is ideal for wet areas such as laundries and bathrooms where moisture often builds up, leading to problems with damp and mould. Bringing in extra light makes the room more comfortable and appealing with a clean, uncluttered ceiling, while reduced humidity means that it’s healthier.
Other popular add-ons in the Solatube range include the Solar Power Daylight Dimmer which allows users to adjust light levels at different times of the day and evening, or the Light Add-On Kit to provide additional light via your skylight once natural light fades at dusk. Solatube’s Solar Powered Night Light makes moving around at night safer with subtle LED illumination to show the way.
