Solatube Skylight Installation for Homes and Businesses

Solatube skylights offer strong performance compared with many traditional skylights. Solatube Australia products capture more daylight, take up less roof space, and suit homes where a standard skylight may not fit. Their compact size also allows more freedom when working around complex roof structures, which is why many skylight installers prefer them.

Yes. Solatube systems produce bright natural light without the harsh glare often linked with older-style skylights. Their INFRAREDuction and Raybender® technology filters out uncomfortable midday sun and reduces heat gain.

Solatube skylights can deliver natural light through tubes up to about nine metres long with very little change in colour or brightness. This makes them effective for darker areas like hallways, internal bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms with limited natural light.

The rooftop dome captures daylight and directs it into a highly reflective tube made from Spectralight® Infinity material. This material reflects light with around 99.7 percent efficiency, moving sunlight through the tube and distributing it evenly inside your room.

Yes. Solatube systems help block harmful UV rays, which reduces fading on carpets, timber floors, furniture, and artwork.

Skylights add style, reduce the need for electric lighting, and contribute to a more energy-efficient home. These benefits can appeal to buyers and may support the overall value of a property.

Skylights help warm your home with natural light during winter. When paired with roof ventilation or whole-house fans, they can also help move hot air out during summer.

Older homes may require extra framing or remedial work around the roof cavity. The work needed can vary based on your roof type and the layout of the building. BM Skylights will assess this during your site visit and advise before installation, including jobs for homes, businesses, and industrial properties.

A correctly installed modern skylight should operate for many years without leaks. Solatube products, when fitted by certified installers, have strong long-term performance. BM Skylights takes great care with sealing and waterproofing to avoid problems.

BM Skylights supplies the Solatube Solar Powered Daylight Dimmer, which lets you adjust incoming daylight with a wireless remote. Some modern skylight systems in the broader market can close automatically when rain is near, although this feature applies to roof window products, not tubular skylights.

DIY skylight kits exist, though they require the right tools, basic carpentry skills, and careful sealing around the roofing. BM Skylights installs Solatube skylights for residential properties with the best service. This gives you peace of mind and avoids the risk of leaks or incorrect framing. DIY installation may still need remedial work in older homes, and instructions should always be read before starting.

Solatube offers diffusers, decorative ceiling rings, and daylight dimming systems. Accessories such as blinds, insect screens, and remotes are commonly used with other skylight types, but tubular skylights focus on daylight collection and distribution.

Tubular skylights do not open for ventilation. However, BM Skylights installs Solatube roof ventilation units and whole-house fans that cool the home and improve airflow. You can contact our team to find the right option for your space.

Solatube skylights generally last many years with very little maintenance. Their long lifespan, high performance, and leak-resistant design make them a reliable option for most NSW homes.
