Solatube® 330 DS

Solatube® 160 DS

Solatube® 290 DS

A Solatube® Daylighting System is the natural way to bring daylight into those dark and windowless areas of your home. No other system will deliver as much natural light as a Solatube® Daylighting System – and we guarantee that – so when you’re choosing a tubular skylight make sure you choose the brightest!

Spectralight® Infinity, the most reflective tubing on the market. At 99.7% reflectivity, no other system will deliver as much light. And even though some competitor systems boast figures of up to 98%, in a typical installation, this could mean that 30% of the original light volume is lost, compared to around 6% in a Solatube® Daylighting System. Flexible-duct systems would be delivering around 10% of original light

Only Solatube® Daylighting Systems, with our Raybender® 3000 technologies, uses Fresnel lenses in the dome to refract light into the top of the tube, actively harvesting daylight into the system. We also employ a simple reflector system, LightTracker™, to redirect light that hits the dome from lower angles. In real terms, this could mean as much as twice as much light entering the top of the tube than on any other system

At only 250mm diameter, no other system delivers as much daylight through such a small aperture. Ideal for smaller rooms, bathrooms, hallways and landings.

Measuring 350mm diameter, the 290 DS delivers even more brilliant daylight and is ideal for larger living areas and wide corridors, kitchens, lofts, studies, and more.

This 550mm model delivers high performance levels of natural daylight deep into larger areas, notably warehouses, factories, schools, sports facilities ...

The very best products

At www.just-rooflights.com we specialise in bringing our customers the very best products at the very best prices. So, our relationship with Solatubes® is most appropriate as the sky tunnel products on this site are the most effective way of transform dark interiors with natural daylight. The Solatube 160DS, the Solatube 290DS, and the Solatube 330DS are the only rigid tubular daylighting system to hold BBA certification ... the award following over two years of thorough testing into all aspects of these products. We do not supply cheap imitations that can result in poor light transmission due to the dome having too flat a profile; or the dome not acting as a lens to collect and transmit solar power, or the dome material clouding due to UV exposure.

The ceiling diffusers that complement the Solatube range effectively and evenly distribute the incoming daylight around the interior space. They are double glazed and UV shielded to help prevent fading of furnishings and carpets.

Generally, no planning permission is required but do check if you are in a listed or conservation-grade building. There are systems that allow for Solatubes to be installed with conservation grade roof windows for these applications.

Impartial advice from the Building Research Establishment Ltd (BRE)

350mm Light Pipes with Flexi-tubes versus the Solatube 160DS

Consider this report (Click Here) from the BRE in which Sola Skylight's 350mm Sky Tunnel with Flexi-tube, and Velux's 350mm Sun Tunnel with flexitube are compared against Solatube's 350mm Optiview rigid tubular skylight ...
In overcast sky conditions the Solatube 160DS performed more than six times better on average than the Velux Sun Tunnel, and an amazing twelve times better than the Sola Skylight Sky Tunnel.
While at mid day, under simulated sunlight tests, the Solatube 160DS performed on average more than seven times better than the Velux Sun Tunnel and almost ten times (978%) better than the Sola Skylight Sky Tunnel.
But, please, do not trust our interpretation. Download the report and see for yourself. (Click Here)

Also consider the fact that the flexible nature of the rigid Solatube rigid pipes angles makes obsolete the old fashioned poorly performing concertina type flexible light tubes.

Compare Monodraght versus Solatube

Clearly, Solatube rigid pipe light tunnels leave flexi-tube models in the shade. But, how does Solatube compare with the market leader when it comes to solid tube sky tunnels? Will Monodraught feel the cold chill of competition?
According to the Building Research Establishment, on average - in overcast sky tests, Solatube light pipes performed 20% better than the Monodraught equivalent, while in simulated sunlight tests Solatube proved to be up to 32% better than Monodraught.

The very best prices

Due to our large volume of Solatube sales we can offer free delivery plus 10% cash-back on all Solatube kits, which makes www.just-rooflights.com the best value when buying Solatube kits on the Internet ... or on the High Street for that matter.

The very best security

Our contact details are on full display. We don't hide behind PO Box numbers, nor anonymous 0800 or 0870 telephone numbers, nor do we use Premium telephone numbers. We do provide low-call 0845 numbers, which cost less than national rate, for those who prefer not to call us on our standard land lines, which are detailed above.

The very best delivery times

We don't want our customers waiting for interminable delivery times. We don't make vague delivery date promises, we strive to deliver next working day if ordered over the Internet before 12noon. Telephone orders may require two working days due to the complication of processing payments on our customer's behalf. It can take us a little longer to deliver to some of the less populated areas of the country. In these cases, and when delivering to Southern Ireland or the Channel Islands, we typically deliver within three working days or less.

The very best solutions

We have expended considerable time and resources to make this web site as informative as possible. When our customers cannot find the information or products that they require, or advice the advice they need, we are always ready to help, offer solutions, or find unbiased answers to such challenges.

The very best service

While we are sufficiently large to be able to offer excellent value, but we are not so large that we cannot empathise with the needs of our customers and provide a helpful, friendly service. We have set up a web site that is as informative and user friendly as possible, but when you need to telephone us for advice, we won't treat you like some novice at a trade-counter; you will speak to a real person ... not some telephone answering bureau; and, unlike some, we won't charge for such advice.

Open for business

The Just Rooflights online shop is available for business 24/7. Orders received over the Internet are given priority over those made by telephone. Equally, internet orders received while our offices are closed are given priority at the beginning of the next working day ... so there may be delays in answering telephone calls at the start of business each day.
Our offices are open between 8.30am and 5pm, Monday through Thursday, and 8.30am - 4pm on Fridays. At other times our offices may well be manned, and we will respond to the telephone calls in such cases. We can receive numerous telephone calls at the same time, and we urge our Customers to leave a message if our telephones are unanswered. We always respond to telephone and email messages at the earliest possible opportunity.
