An Excellent Alternative to Traditional Skylights

Traditional skylights have been a go-to for homeowners looking to brighten their spaces. However they have drawbacks like heat loss in winter, heat gain in summer, and more complex and expensive installations. An excellent alternative option is now available: tubular skylights. Specifically, the MaxLight Tubular Skylights from SolarBright offer innovative, energy-efficient solutions that outperform traditional skylights in several key areas.

Enhanced Light Capture and Distribution

MaxLight Tubular Skylights feature cutting-edge technology designed to capture sunlight through a rooftop dome and channel it through highly reflective tubes into your home. This advanced design maximises the amount of natural light that reaches your living space, regardless of the weather. Even on cloudy days, the system captures ample sunlight to keep your home illuminated.

Compared to traditional skylights, tubular skylights provide a more even light distribution, preventing harsh shadows or glare and ensuring a softer, more pleasant glow throughout the room.

Energy Efficiency and Temperature Control

Traditional skylights can allow heat to enter during summer and escape during winter, affecting the overall energy efficiency of your home. MaxLight Tubular Skylights are designed to minimise this issue. The MaxLight skylight is designed with a triple lens diffuser to minimise heat loss or gain through the skylight, making it a perfect option for homes aiming to maintain energy efficiency while enjoying natural light.

Additionally, tubular skylights help reduce the need for electric lighting during the day, cutting down on energy costs and supporting eco-friendly living.

Flexible and Less Complex Installations

One major limitation of traditional skylights is their requirement for direct roof access, which makes it difficult to install them in some tighter spaces like hallways, bathrooms, or laundries. MaxLight Tubular Skylights offer far more flexibility in installation, thanks to their compact design and adjustable tubing.

A traditional skylight installation is complex and takes several days, often spread over a couple of weeks due to using three different trades. The install will cost up to several thousand dollars. A tubular skylight install takes one technician a couple of hours and will be around $250.

Whether you’re looking to brighten a dark corridor, a bathroom with no natural light, or other rooms tubular skylights can bring natural light daylight into hard-to-reach places.

For commercial applications, SolarBright also offers tailored solutions with their Commercial Skylights, perfect for larger spaces like offices and warehouses.

Minimal Maintenance and Maximum Durability

Traditional skylights often require regular cleaning and maintenance to stay efficient, especially in areas prone to condensation or dirt build-up. Tubular Skylights are virtually maintenance-free, thanks to their sealed design that prevents dirt, dust, and debris from entering the system.

Additionally, SolarBright provides a range of Skylight Accessories and Options, allowing you to further customise and enhance the performance of your tubular skylight with features such as dimmers and diffusers for different lighting needs.

Reduced UV Exposure

Another issue with traditional skylights is their tendency to let harmful UV rays into your home, potentially causing fading or damage to furniture and flooring. MaxLight Tubular Skylights prevent this by filtering out UV rays while still delivering bright, natural light. This added protection makes them a great option for preserving the integrity of your home’s interior while enjoying the benefits of daylight.

Why Choose Tubular Skylights?

Traditional skylights, while popular, come with a range of limitations— less flexible and more complex (and expensive) installation, more heat grain in summer, heat loss in winter, and higher maintenance requirements. MaxLight Tubular skylights offer an excellent alternative, delivering enhanced natural light distribution, greater energy efficiency, and flexible installation options that work in a variety of spaces. If you’re looking for an economical and efficient skylight solution, SolarBright has a range of tubular skylights to suit your needs.
