Green Park Homes is one of Canada's leading home builder and are all about focusing on quality and methods to produce more efficient homes. Conventional skylights were not really an effective way to bring in natural lighting due to there lengthy dry wall shafts from the ceiling to the roof line. Some of these were over 10 feet in height due to the higher pitched roofs in this modern age.
The open ended shafts created a tunnel for warm air to rise up the drywall shaft creating heat loss. With Solatube, the reflective tube run is closed at the ceiling end with a dual glazed diffuser system maintaining the homes energy efficiency and is also sealed to the ceiling vapour barrier inside the attic preventing any air leakage. The option of installing a Solatube for Green Park Homes is most popular in upstairs hallways, stairwells and windowless bathrooms.
