Tubular Skylights

Welcome to the Tubular Skylights category at Roofing4US, where we illuminate your spaces with the natural light of the sun, efficiently and innovatively. Our selection of tubular skylights is designed to offer solutions for every roofing need, ensuring that regardless of your home's design or your personal preferences, you'll find a perfect match. This overview will guide you through the various types of tubular skylights we offer, their practical uses, and advice on selecting the right one for your specific situation.

Types of Tubular Skylights

Our tubular skylights come in a variety of designs, each suited to different roofing materials, slopes, and aesthetic preferences. These come with options for acrylic, polycarbonate, or flat glass domes, and with low-profile flashing where the dome sits parallel to the roof or pitched flashing where the dome faces upward to bring more light in throughout the day. Here's a breakdown of what you can find:

Rigid Tubular Skylights

Rigid tubular skylights are best suited for applications where a longer tube is needed between your roof and ceiling. The rigid tube is 99% reflective, allowing sunlight to travel all the way from your roof into your room without losing its brightness. They are ideal for spaces in the center of your home where the roof is the highest. Some models are equipped with a solar night light, providing a soft glow during the night, which is perfect for hallways or bathrooms that could use a light source after dark.

Flexible Tubular Skylights

Flexible tubular skylights are best suited for applications where a shorter tube is needed because the flexible tubing will diffuse the light. They can bend more easily than a rigid tube around obstacles within the roof structure, making them suitable for installations that require a bit more ingenuity.

Accessories and Extensions

To enhance the functionality of your tubular skylight, we offer a range of accessories. These include light kits for additional lighting when natural sunlight isn't enough, extension tubes for longer installations, and 45-degree tunnel elbows to navigate around obstructions. Replacement domes are also available for all sizes, ensuring longevity and maintenance ease for your tubular skylight system.

Practical Uses

Tubular skylights are designed to illuminate interior spaces where traditional windows cannot be installed and traditional skylights would be impractical due to a lengthy light shaft. They're perfect for:

• Bathrooms and hallways: providing natural light without compromising privacy.

• Kitchens and living rooms: enhancing the brightness and mood of the space.

• Closets and garages: areas typically devoid of natural light.

Selection Guidance

When selecting a tubular skylight, consider the following:

• Roof Type and Slope: All models will work on sloped shingle roofs. Curb mount models are needed for flat roofs. A tile flashing kit can be used to adapt some curb mount and pitched flashing models to work on tile roofs.

• Lighting Requirements: Consider models with solar night lights for 24-hour illumination, or add a light kit to ensure your space is lit even at night.

• Installation Length: Measure the distance between your roof and ceiling to determine if you need additional extension tubes or elbows.

Our tubular skylights offer an eco-friendly, energy-efficient way to brighten your home with natural daylight. With easy installation and minimal maintenance, they're a practical and beautiful addition to any space. Whether you're renovating or building anew, explore our selection to find the perfect solution for bringing natural light into your home.
