If you want to bring natural light into a room that doesn’t have an exterior window, but don’t have the roof area to install a traditional skylight, tubular skylights and roof light tubes are a great option.

Tubular skylights

These small, metallic tubes capture sunlight at the roof and distribute it inside a diffuser or lens. The resulting soft, natural light is comfortable and energy-efficient.

Hi there. Here at Pro Home Construction we offer a variety of roofing solutions to meet your needs, and keep a roof over your head. Skylights can add a significant amount of value to your home.

What are Tubular Skylights?

Tubular skylights are tube shaped windows in your roof that allows sunlight to bring natural light to your home or business. There are three main components for tubular skylights: the dome, the tube, and the diffuser. Since tubular skylights are small in size they are typically an affordable skylight to install.

How Do Skylight Tubes Work?

Tubular skylights work by capturing sunlight through the dome, reflecting the suns rays through a tube and projecting the light through a fixture in the ceiling known as a diffuser. Tubular skylights can be installed without direct line of sight and can be configured to avoid furniture or obstructions upstairs.

Traditional Skylights vs Solar Tubes

Unlike traditional skylights tube lights can be installed without direct line of sight and can be configured to avoid furniture or obstructions upstairs. Tubular skylights are compact when compared to traditional skylights and as a result can offer a more affordable option. There is no need for any structural changes to install tubular devices, which makes them less prone to leaks or dirt getting in.

Benefits of Tubular Skylights
