The picture is an illustration. How bright your room gets depends on the room, your roof, the length of the tube and the weather. At the free estimate we’ll tell you what to expect in your house.

How it works

Daylight, without a big hole in the roof

1 A small dome on the roof

It catches daylight through a 10- or 14-inch opening, with sealed, leak-resistant flashing.

2 A mirror-like tube

It carries the light down through the attic and around obstacles, without losing it on the way.

3 A diffuser in the ceiling

It spreads soft, even daylight across the room and filters out the UV and heat.

Good to know: add a night light for after dark, or a dimmer for bright afternoons. Want the full details? See our Solatube skylight page.

Questions

Common questions

How long does the install take?

Most Solatube installs take a few hours, and the room is bright the same day.

Will it leak?

The dome sits on sealed, leak-resistant flashing made for the roof it goes on, and it works on many common roof types found on Santa Barbara homes.

Does it make the room hot?

Not the way a regular skylight can. The dome and tube filter out UV and heat, so you get the light without the heat.

What about at night?

Add a night light and the same fixture lights the room after dark. A dimmer lets you turn the daylight down on bright afternoons.

Which rooms work best?

Hallways, bathrooms, walk-in closets, kitchens, laundry rooms and stairwells: rooms that are too dark during the day.

What does it cost?

It depends on the model, your roof and how far the tube runs. We come out, measure, and give you a written price before any work starts. The estimate is free.
