  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/11/2007)
  • Velux. Sun Tunnel skylights are available with pitched flashings that gather light from all directions, or low-profile flashings that bend to the roof line.

  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/11/2007)
  • Sun-Dome. The tubular skylight's high-impact polycarbonate dome blocks harmful UV rays and withstands hail and hurricanes, according to the manufacturer. Adjustable tubes are standard in the 10-inch and 13-inch models to bypass obstacles in the attic. The aluminum flashing can be painted any color and won't rust or leak, the maker says. The skylight can be installed in about two hours, the company adds. 800-596-8414.

  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/11/2007)

The Solar Lens dome is designed to optimize available sunlight even during low-light hours. During full mid-day sun, a 14-inch tubular skylight has output equal to about five 100-watt light bulbs, according to the manufacturer. 866-635-4968.

  • Windows & Doors Review: Tubular Skylights
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/10/2007)
  • A product doesn't have to be new for homeowners to consider it state of the art. But if it brightens interior rooms with free natural light and installs in just a couple of hours, even a product that's been around for nearly two decades can seem avant-garde.
