I have a very dark kitchen, not near any external windows and have often thought about getting a sola tube. Now with electricity having skyrocketed in price I finally contacted them and they were great. They will come out and provide a free quote within a week!
These are a great invention.
I don't have one at home but have had them installed in the projects i have worked on. can be installed in a location other than directly above where you want it so there is some flexibility to get around rafters or beams.
Recently the purchaser of a property with one installed asked ho to turn the light off when she first saw her kitchen, she was pleasantly surprised when she found the light was not on.
Approximate cost: $?
I highly recommend these skylights! Unobtrusive, yet they let in so much light!!! The technology has improved greatly since the previous one I bought many years ago. They have all sorts of attachments such as double glazing, various diffusers, lights etc. I spoke to a lovely lady named Belinda who is very knowledgable and efficient. They don't have offices in VIC, but they will freight and give you advice on who can install... unless you have a builder.
Approximate cost: $450
this was a great review loved reading it and hope that you will leave many more reviews like this one
