Description

SolaMaster® 530 mm diameter daylighting systems deliver high quality, consistent daylight to larger areas and are often specified in the education, healthcare and security sectors, as well as in offices, warehouses and factories.

Solatube patented and proprietary technologies make it possible to bring daylight deeper into buildings where natural light has previously not been an option. Whilst easily incorporated into newbuild projects, They are also excellent for retro fitting into existing buildings.
