Solatube

Solatube International is the manufacturer of Solatube Daylighting Systems, a type of tubular daylighting device. The company, originally located in Australia, invented tubular daylighting devices, which are used to harvest daylight through a dome at the roof and transfer it down a reflective tube through a diffuser in the ceiling.

Often mistakenly referred to as light tubes, solar tubes or tubular skylights, the correct industry name is tubular daylighting devices, as determined by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC).

Solatube Daylighting Systems are used to provide daylighting as part of the sustainable design movement in eco-friendly building, also known as green building.

Daylighting with Solatube Daylighting Systems is used extensively in schools, warehouses, retail environments, homes, government buildings, museums, hotels and restaurants.

For the residential market, Solatube International Inc. has set up a network of dealers known as the Premier Dealer network where each dealer has been trained by the manufacturer for installation and technical product information. Solatube Home Daylight, Solatube International's only company store, is used as a test bed for this network before offering new products into the marketplace.
