Natural Light, The Right Way
For over 20 years, we’ve been helping homeowners enjoy more natural light in their homes. Two popular options we install often are skylights and sun tunnels. But which one is right for you?
Skylights: A Classic Choice for Natural Illumination
Skylights are windows installed on the roof, providing direct views of the sky and loads of daylight. They work best in:
- Living rooms
- Kitchens
- Master bedrooms
Pros:
- Visually appealing
- Great for larger rooms
- Can be vented for airflow
Cons:
- More expensive than sun tunnels
- May require roof structural changes
Sun Tunnels: Compact, Cost-Effective Light
Sun tunnels (or tubular skylights) bring in light through a small dome and reflective tube. They are ideal for:
- Hallways
- Bathrooms
- Closets
Pros:
- Lower cost
- Easier to install
- Great for smaller, darker spaces
Cons:
- No sky view
- Less light than a full skylight

FAQs:
Q: Do sun tunnels leak?
A: When properly installed, no. We guarantee watertight installation.
Q: Can I install a skylight in any roof?
A: It depends on your roof’s slope and structure — we’ll inspect and advise.
Our Recommendation
If you’re looking for dramatic lighting and style, choose a skylight. If budget or simplicity is key, sun tunnels are fantastic.
