Solatube - Innovation In Daylighting. Solar tube skylights.

Solatube is a Solar Tube Skylight that is more energy efficient than a standard skylight, and far easier to install. These tubular skylight models deliver an Effective Daylight Capture Surface (EDCS) nearly double that of similar copycat products. Solatubes are natural daylighting systems that can transform dark interior rooms of all sizes.
