Tubular Skylight

Many homeowners enjoy the natural light that skylights provide, not only are great looking they also help you to save money on utility cost such as electric. Regular skylights though sometimes do not distribute light evenly, witch resorts in energy loss and can cause UV damage to both furniture and carpets. Tubular skylights on the other hand are not like conventional skylights and help protect against UV rays and energy loss.

Other added benefits are that the opening of tubular skylights resemble simple small light fixtures and are quite classy looking. You can also install them yourself as they are very easy to install.

Tubular skylights have a roof-mounted light collector in a parabolic shape. The sun shines into the usually metal tube and the light is reflected in through the home, giving you great light but protecting you from harmful UV rays.

The normal cost for adding tubular skylights to your home are from $150.00 up to $600.00 depending on the size and package. Normally the cost are a little less than conventional skylights because there is less framing work involved. You also could allot of money installing the skylight yourself because all that is need normally is basic hand tools.
