FAQ'S
Does size and location
matter?
As light works on volume, the larger the skylight, the
greater amount of light is transferred into your home.
Does it matter if my
skylight is not North facing?
A North facing
skylight will capture all day sun giving you greater brightness for
longer.
Does our colour scheme of
the room affect lighting?
Your colour scheme will also
affect the light. Light furnishings, walls, floors etc. will reflect light
making the skylight more effective.
Darker colours, stained beams etc. will
absorb more light.
What is a 'Tubular
skylight?
Tubular skylights consist of a
transparent dome on the roof, light shaft and a diffuser in the
ceiling.
Rigid tube - the rigid tube is
more efficient in transferring light because of its smooth
sides.
Concertina tube - the light
transferred is considerably reduced but is a cost effective
option.
Will my skylight
leak?
If the skylight has been
installed correctly, it should not leak. The Suntrenz range has only one roof

leak. These are made to fit most concrete tile roofs, steel decra tiles and
corrugated roofs.
