What size Solatube do you require?
This will depend mainly on the size of the area you wish to illuminate – below is a guide. For larger areas or long narrow corridors or hallways, Solatube® Daylighting Systems can be used in multiples.
Solatube® 160 DS Daylighting System
At only 250mm in diameter, no other tubular system will deliver as much daylight to your home through such a small aperture.
Ideal for
- Bathrooms and toilets
- Hallways and landings
- Shower rooms and en suites
- Utilities and cloakrooms
Solatube 290 DS Daylighting System
Measuring 350mm in diameter, the 290 DS delivers even more brilliant daylight and is designed for larger living areas.
Ideal for
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Living rooms
- Loft conversions
- Studies
- Workshops and garages
How much tubing is required?
Each Solatube® system is supplied with a top and bottom tube assembly that together give an install distance (roof to ceiling) of up to 400mm (16"). This is generally sufficient for flat roofs, vaulted ceilings, or very shallow pitch roofs. For greater install distances you will need to purchase additional extension tubes to meet your required install distance. You can calculate your install distance by measuring the internal distance between your roof and ceiling (see distance x in the picture below right). Use the chart below to calculate the total cost of your Solatube® by matching your roof void distance x to the appropriate tube length in the Install distance column.
