SOLAR TB1201
The SkyView® tubelight solar lighting system is an innovative, but simple, design-based on two principles, maximum light collection and simplicity of installation. There are several features that distinguish our tubular skylight from the competition.
| Daylight Area | : | 300 sq-ft |
| Flashing Included | : | Yes |
| Roof Pitch | : | 6:12 |
| UV Protection | : | Yes |
| Diameter | : | 12 in |
| Glass Type | : | Acrylic |
| Frame Material | : | Aluminum |
| Color | : | Bronze |
- We use a high-quality true cast acrylic double dome design which is drop formed to preserve the UV properties of the acrylic, so our domes will only yellow about 3% after about 20 years, in contrast some of our competitors who use an injection molded plastic dome which can yellow as much as 15% after only 5 years, the top dome collects light, while the inner dome distributes the light evenly down the tube
- Our domes come factory sealed to the tube using a leak-proof seal method, the outside dome assembly is sealed to the tube section with a high-quality silicone sealant, this means there is no sealing of the unit on the jobsite, just a little caulking around the roof jack
- Our tubular skylight installs through a paintable galvanized steel roof jack with a storm collar, by using this method, rather than using a plastic or fiberglass flashing, you are allowed much more flexibility, for instance you may trim the flashing to accommodate whatever roof pitch you have, the flashing is multi-pitched from a flat roof application to a 6:12 pitch with a 12:12 pitch flashing available
- The heart of the design is the pipe itself, we use a finish on our aluminum, versus a film which causes distortion of light, the finish is a silver etching process which plasma fuses the silvering to the aluminum, this finish can never peel or delaminate, like most films will after time, due to the advanced variable pitched flashing we use
- When the SkyView® tubelight is properly installed, it requires no maintenance, that means no dust, cob webs or bugs in your skylight diminishing the output of light over time, we achieve this by providing high-quality seals at all points of entry
