Solving dark space problems with Solatube

Say ‘halo’ to a skylight technology that brings any space out of the shadows.

In association with Solatube.

You might have to be an engineer to truly fathom how Solatube DS skylights work, but homeowners will immediately understand the transformative power of a product that sheds light where once there was darkness.
While conventional rectangular skylights usher in light directly (and can often make rooms feel harshly lit and hot), this innovative technology manipulates the physics of how natural light moves and reflects. Solatube DS captures as much light as possible on cloudy days and yet diffuses out the UV rays that can damage fabrics and furniture on a summer stunner.
It sounds like magic and, when an internal powder room is suddenly flooded with a soft ambiance, a poky work-from-home enclave is made welcoming or a gloomy hallway becomes a passage of light, it feels like it, too. But, of course, it’s down to exclusive technology in action.

MAIN IMAGE A Solatube DS skylight is the solution for any corner of the home where more light will uplift the mood, including bathrooms. ABOVE Discreet and dynamic, the daylighting system is delivered through a dome then manipulated by special tubing material and ‘ray-bending’ technology to allow consistent, beautifully diffuse light.

The optically advanced Solatube DS dome on the roof acts like a magnet for sunlight, while the innovative Raybender 3000 technology captures and redirects incoming light for maximum efficiency. This, combined with the world’s most reflective tubing, ensures a consistent, beautifully diffused light that reaches every corner of the home.
With an aesthetic simplicity, these skylights are a quiet hero of your design intent, segueing naturally into interiors from minimalist Japandi through coastal chic to modern maximalism. Yet it isn’t just their low-key efficacy that ticks the box: typically installed within a day (no mess, no fuss), the Solatube DS is cost effective, too.
DS may stand for ‘daylighting system’, but it could equally well mean ‘dead simple’.
