Only Solatube® brand offers the highest performance… GUARANTEED IN WRITING. All other brands are imitations that are newer on the market, but much further behind in the technology. Solatube® has continued to develop and perfect the Solatube® and holds several extremely important patents. Below are several reasons why a genuine Solatube® out-performs other imitations.
Tubular skylights still utilize some of the earliest methods we discovered to bring natural sunlight into our homes. The first commercial tubular skylights were patented in the 1850s, and they’ve only modernized since then.
It’s no secret that one name stands tall among all skylights, Solatube®. The technology used in Solatube® products has advanced and expanded the industry more than any other. They are a well-known, trusted brand whose products are used in residential homes, commercial buildings, and even hotels.
Solatube® focuses all its R&D on developing the best possible products, which is why they are always at the forefront of technology and quality. Everyone else is usually just a step behind, following in their cutting-edge wake.
When comparing Solatube® and traditional skylights, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, Solatube® provides the most light. You will get 99% of the light coming into the tube, compared to just 36% with Skylight. This is due to the dome shape on the outside of your home, which captures the light with greater efficiency. Additionally, the inside of the Solatube light is 99.7% reflective, compared to just 95% for traditional skylights.
If you want the most light going into your home, Solatube® is the obvious answer.
Solatube® stands out, in particular, when it comes to product quality when compared to imitators. Solatube® products are stronger and more durable when it comes to weathering the elements and longevity.
Another worthy competitor is Velux. Their overall lumen output is lower than Solatube® simply because of their design. They come close, but their tubes still absorb more light on the way down the tube. Unlike Solatube®, Velux offers several other products. As Solatube’s® main focus is on creating solar tubes of the highest quality, this is where all their efforts go, so their tubes consistently look and perform better.
While there may be a day in the future when Velux is a worthy competitor, they don’t hit the Solatube standard just yet.
Are you struggling with too much sunlight or too little during the winter months? Solatube® has been able to craft a product that circumvents both these situations. They have found a way to prevent overpowering light in the middle of the day, but also capture light when you need it most. This technology is unique to Solatube.
Aesthetics matter! Solatube® doesn’t just provide more light, it’s more eye-pleasing too. You’ll get to choose from several different features and finishes, including a solar nightlight, and a variety of diffusers so you can still control the “curb appeal” of your home.
