Contact Today!Brighten Your Home’s Dark Spaces with A Sun Tunnel Skylight Installation
If your home feels dim and uninspired, it might be time to bring in the sunshine—literally. At Alberta Skylights Elite Roofing, we specialize in solar tube installations in St. Albert, delivering practical, stylish, and energy-efficient lighting solutions to brighten your day.
Whether you’re tackling a full home renovation or simply want to lighten up a hallway or bathroom, a solar-powered skylight could be the perfect solution. These sleek, tubular skylights direct natural light into your home, reducing the need for artificial lighting and boosting your home’s overall energy efficiency.
What Is a Solatube or Sun Tunnel?
Unlike conventional skylights, a Solatube or VELUX Sun Tunnel uses a tubular skylight design that channels sunlight from your roof down into your home. A small, dome-shaped collector on the roof captures daylight and transmits it through reflective tubing—even around corners—into your ceiling, where a frosted diffuser disperses the light evenly.
It’s one of the most energy-efficient ways to bring natural light into spaces like:
- Bathrooms
- Closets
- Hallways
- Stairwells
- Pantries
- Utility rooms
In short, they convert dark spaces into places that feel bigger, brighter, and more beautiful—without adding heat or compromising your insulation.
Rigid vs. Flexible Tubular Skylight Systems
There are two main types of Solatube daylighting systems—and both are engineered to deliver the benefits of natural light:
Rigid Tubes
- Use the world’s most reflective interior surface to deliver up to 98% light transfer
- Best for long, straight runs through your attic
- Ideal for rooms where maximum brightness is the goal
Flexible Tubes
- Designed to bend around roof trusses or HVAC systems
- Installable in as little as 2 hours
- Great for tight attic spaces or short ceiling-to-roof distances
During your in-home consultation, we’ll recommend the best fit for your unique layout.
Solar Tube Sizes & Features
VELUX Sun Tunnel skylights come in a variety of diameters and options:
- 10″–14″ diameters – suitable for lighting 150 to 325 sq. ft.
- Solar night-light add-ons – charge by day and glow gently at night
- Decorative diffusers – stylish trim rings and frosted lens styles to match your décor
- Low-profile flashing kits – compatible with metal roofing, asphalt shingles, and flat roofing systems
These aren’t just practical—they’re also packed with aesthetics and innovative designs that work with nearly any type of home.
Where Do Solar Tubes Work Best?
Not every home—or room—can handle a full skylight. But that’s where solar tubes shine:
- Hallways: Especially those that run through the center of your home.
- Bathrooms: Make small rooms feel larger and more welcoming.
- Closets: Find what you need without flicking on the lights.
- Kitchens and Laundry Rooms: Add functionality and natural light where it matters.
With solar tube installations in St. Albert, we’ve helped homeowners make their living spaces more comfortable, energy-efficient, and beautiful.
