Skylights and Sun Tunnels

Skylights are essentially large windows that are installed directly into the roof of a building. They provide natural light and ventilation to the interior space, enhancing the overall ambiance and comfort. On the other hand, sun tunnels, also known as solar tubes or tubular skylights, are innovative devices designed to capture sunlight from the roof and channel it into the interior through a reflective tube. The reflective tube, often made of highly reflective material like polished aluminum, efficiently directs sunlight into the room, even if the roof is not directly facing the sun. Sun tunnels are particularly useful in areas where traditional skylights cannot be installed due to space constraints or where additional natural light is desired without compromising privacy. Both skylights and sun tunnels contribute to a brighter, more inviting indoor environment while reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Skylights

Uses: Skylights in roofing provide natural light, improve aesthetics, and can offer ventilation and energy efficiency benefits.

Curb Mount Fixed

This refers to a skylight installed on a raised
curb or frame on the roof, which is fixed in place and does not open or close.

Curb Mount Manual Opening

Similar to the fixed version, but with the added feature of manual operation for opening and closing the skylight, allowing for ventilation.

Deck Mount Fixed

This type of skylight is mounted directly onto the roof deck and is fixed in place without the use of a curb. It does not open or close.

Deck Mount Solar

A skylight installed directly onto the roof deck, which is powered by solar energy. It may have features like remote-controlled opening and closing, as well as built-in sensors for automatic operation.

Sun tunnels

Sun Tunnels

Sun tunnels are used in roofing to bring natural light into interior spaces that lack windows, reducing the need for artificial lighting and enhancing the visual appeal of rooms
