Natural Skylights
Let the Goldfields sun do the lighting.
Reduce your energy bill and brighten your property with supplied-and-installed natural skylights.
Natural skylights
Daylight, done well
Rather than plain and boring light fixtures, go for something more natural. We supply and install natural skylights for both commercial and residential properties.
Daylight through the roof can replace electric lighting through the day — kinder on the energy bill and on the eyes.
In a sunny, hot climate the details matter. Australian Government guidance notes that a skylight's effect on heat gain depends on climate, orientation, size, location, shading and glazing — worth discussing when you plan one.
Good for
- Dark hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and living areas
- Shops, offices and workshops that need daytime light
- Reducing daytime use of electric lighting
- Both residential and commercial properties
Worth knowing
- Size and position change how much heat comes in with the light
- Glazing and shading options make a big difference in summer
- Roof type and access affect installation
Plan it
Light without the heat.
In a hot, sunny climate a skylight's details decide how much heat comes in with the light. These are the things to weigh.
Orientation
Which way the roof faces changes how much direct sun reaches the skylight through the day.
Size & position
Bigger isn't always better — size and placement decide where the light falls and how much heat comes with it.
Glazing
The glazing's thermal properties affect heat gain in summer and loss in winter.
Shading & venting
Shading options, and openable roof windows where suitable, help manage summer heat.
Will a skylight make my room hotter?
It can if it's poorly chosen. Australian Government guidance says heat gain through skylights depends on climate, orientation, size, location, shading and the glazing's thermal properties — so getting those right is the key to light without the heat.
Do you install skylights in commercial buildings?
Yes — we offer supply and installation of natural skylights for both commercial and residential properties.
Can skylights reduce my energy bill?
Natural light through the day means less need for electric lighting while the sun is up, which is where the savings come from.
