Solatube announces new extension tube

Solatube International has introduced a new zero-to-90 degree extension tube with the company's proprietary Spectralight Infinity tubing material, which allows Solatube skylights to be installed almost anywhere without compromising lighting efficiency. The zero-to-90 extension tube is comprised of three built-in 30º angle adapters, which allow the tubing to bypass attic obstructions, jog across rafters or hide installation on an opposite roofline. Most importantly, the extension tubes are made with Solatube's exclusive Spectralight Infinity, which allows these dramatic twists and turns to be made without compromising lighting performance.

The zero-to-90 degree extension tubes are available on the Solatube Brighten Up Series of 10- and 14-inch units.

The new extension tubing provides an ideal solution for a variety installation obstacles including:

Residential:
- Wiring;
- Ductwork
- Home owners association restrictions prohibiting visibility of roof objects from the street;
- Forced air units in the attic space;
- Obstructions on the roof deck directly above the ideal dome location;

Commercial:
- Fire sprinklers;
- Cabling;
- Ductwork.
