Tubular skylight pipe vs Skylight

Which is the Better Choice?

For those looking to bring natural light into their home, skylights have long been a conventional option. However, if you're looking for a cost-effective and efficient alternative, BANFU tubular skylight pipes are worth considering. Unlike skylights, BANFU tubular skylight pipes can deliver ample amounts of daylight without compromising structural integrity, making them ideal for conventional horizontal ceilings with roof spaces above.

Light Output Tubular skylight pipes deliver the same, if not more daylight than traditional skylights, but through a smaller aperture. They also provide efficient lighting on every roof aspect, unlike skylights, which only efficiently let light in from south-facing aspects. With lenses in the roof dome, these systems effectively capture low-level sun, especially during winter and early morning/evening hours. Unlike traditional skylights that create shafts of light, tubular skylight pipes spread light evenly throughout the room using a ceiling diffuser.

Heat Loss and Gain Tubular skylights pipes outperform traditional skylights in terms of thermal efficiency. Traditional skylights result in heat loss during winter due to their large aperture, and in heat buildup during summer due to solar gain. In contrast, BANFU tubular skylight pipes have excellent insulation properties and double glazing at ceiling level (not roof level), preventing heated or cooled air, from escaping into Broof void. They also do not create noise when it rains, which is common with traditional skylights.

Maintenance Traditional roof lights often face condensation and require frequent cleaning to avoid cobwebs, flies, and spiders. BANFU Tubular skylight pipes, on the other hand, are designed to dissipate condensation and require no maintenance or cleaning, making them a hassle-free alternative. In conclusion,BANFU tubular skylight pipes are a better choice than traditional skylights. They are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and require no structural modifications. By installing BANFU tubular skylight pipes, you can bring natural light into your home effortlessly.
