1.            Solatube sun pipes are leak-proof, impact-resistant, and have a self-cleaning dome that collects daylight on the roof.

2.            Daylight is directed down into the room through a highly reflective tube that can turn easily around obstructions like rafters and joists.  Solatube sun                 pipes can deliver daylight virtually anywhere in the home, even to first-floor bathrooms and hallways.

3.            Installation is typically straight forward and takes approximately 4 hours.  Solatube sun pipes require no structural changes to the building and no                     need for any decorating afterwards!
