Solatube – Mackay Skylight

Each option has their own unique capabilities here are some of the outcomes – Tubular skylights – consistent light levels throughout the day no matter the sun angle, disperses light across the whole room, Square skylights – brings daylighting into a room, lack of lighting control, Feature skylight – beautiful architecture feature where the sky can be seen from any angle, high solar heat gain.

Depending on what you are trying to achieve in your home, each option has cost implications – Tubular skylights starting from $150 basic to highest performing – $1,400, Standard Square skylights – $2,000 – $3,500 and Feature Skylight – $3,500 – $5,000.

Solatube Daylighting systems use combined technology that delivers unrivalled year-round performance in light output and heat protection. Patented Raybender 3000 Technology – LightTracker reflector combines to redirect low-angle daylight for unparallel light capture – particularly during winter. Introducing INFRAREDuction technology, utilising a proprietary process to extract infrared wavelengths on the first light bounce before they can be transferred through the tube, dispersing heat before it ever enters the building. Industry-leading daylighting technology delivers unparalleled transfer of natural light, with minimum heat gain. So, it’s perfect for hot climates, where it reduces cooling loads on air-conditioning systems.
