Make a Better Decision with an Orlando Solatube

If you have decided to add a skylight to your home, you may be thinking about installing a traditional skylight. You might make that decision because that is what you already have in your home, that is what your neighbor has or you just don’t know that there are other options. Before you make that decision, however, you should make yourself aware of Ocala tubularskylights. Many people find these untraditional skylights to be more economical, attractive and let in more light.

How Do Ocala Tubular Skylights Work?

Ocala tubular skylights are revolutionary but still easy to understand how they work. There is a dome that is on the top of your roof. The sun is collected in the dome and it then travels through the shaft into whatever room you have the skylight placed in. Inside the Orlando solatube shaft is a reflective system. It bounces the sunlight inside to disperse it evenly among the whole room. That way the sunlight is not focused in one area, which is how a traditional skylight forces the sunlight to behave. The focused sunlight can fade upholstery and heat a room. Tubular skylights can even work when the sun is at a low angle, which is not possible for a traditional skylight. The dome on your roof is also outfitted with a seam so that no leaks will occur and it also prevents the dome from cracking when the temperature changes. Traditional skylight seams can crack over time and water can seep in. That means you have to do maintenance with your traditional skylight that you do not need to do with an Orlando solatube.
How Will Ocala tubular skylights Save You Money?

  • Installation is cheaper.
  • No need for maintenance on the seam of the Orlando solatube.
  • You will save money on your lighting bill. If you are getting more natural light in your home, you will not need to turn on your lights. That means your electricity bill will be lower. It will also mean you will not need to buy light bulbs as often.
