Quick and Easy 2 Hour Installation. We can install or you can install and save!
Natural Light Tubular Skylights can be installed in about 2 hours or less. Installation requires no painting, no wiring or structural changes. Natural Light has many certified dealers nationwide who can professionally install your unit, but homeowners can also install our units.
Do-It-Yourself Installation-Video's Available
If you are a handy do-it-yourself homeowner, you can easily do the job! Installation requires basic DIY skills including using a reciprocating saw to cut a hole in your roof and a drywall saw to cut a hole in your ceiling. Natural Light Tubular Skylights were designed to be air-tight and leak proof. The most crucial part of the installation is attaching and sealing the flashing on the roof to ensure a weather-tight seal.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step-by-step illustrated instructions are provided with each kit to assist you. Every tubular skylight comes with all the hardware needed to complete a 48" long run. If needed, extra light pipe can be purchased for taller installations. Angled adapters (elbows) are also available if a straight run installation is not possible. Angle adapters allow the direction of the light pipe to change up to 45 degrees - though Natural Light recommends straight runs whenever possible to achieve the highest light output.

Natural Light Tubular Skylights Withstand All Weather Conditions
The rugged construction of our tubular skylights can easily withstand the harshest weather conditions including hurricanes and tornados. Both the dome and skylight flashing are exposed to the outdoors and therefore have been precision-engineered to combat the weather elements. The dome is made of thick, heavy-duty acrylic that can withstand the impact of flying debris in a storm (see video below). It also incorporates an aluminum stress collar to accommodate temperature fluctuations and prevent cracking and leaking.
Our flashing is manufactured using seamless commercial pure grade aluminum. Because there are no seams, water cannot enter the skylight system. The forward sloping design of the flashing also helps water run off the unit. The flashing is secured to the roof using (8) heavy-gauged screws to hold it in place. The silicone seal around the flashing ensures that it's water-tight.
Hurricane Tested and Approved
The Natural Light Tubular Skylight under went numerous tests by the Hurricane Test Laboratory, Inc. in Riviera Beach, Florida and successfully passed their tests to earn the "hurricane approved" rating (HTL01097).
Natural Light Tubular Skylights Survive Florida Tornado
Three tornadoes ripped through central Florida on February 2, 2007 killing at least 19 people and destroying hundreds of homes. The first tornado hit a retirement community, The Villages. It was a high end EF-3 tornado with winds exceeding 160 mph.
The tornado was no match for the Natural Light Tubular Skylight. Several Natural Light skylights had been installed in this community and all withstood the severe weather and sustained no damage!
