solatube natural lighting system

The Solatube uses a solar reflector inside an acrylic dome to capture the sun's light. The dome is mounted on a UV protected roof tile fitting that is unobtrusive and guaranteed leak proof. The light is directed down a highly mirrored aluminium tubing system to an attractive diffuser on the ceiling – designed to flood specific areas with an even spread of energy saving natural light. For internal bathrooms with no windows, Solatube has a single unit, which provides ventilation as well as lighting.

How to make your home Green

This is such a big category and so it should be. Not only is it 'fashionable; to "go green" but it is also socially responsible.

There are so many ways to reduce your carbon footprint such as recycling your waste, reusing items such as wrapping paper, grocery bags, etc., cycling or walking to work instead of driving, using natural cleaning products instead of harmful chemicals in your home/office and eventually in our water supply.

Of course on the decorating or remodelling level things that you should or could consider are:- is this product from a renewable and or environmentally friendly source, does this company exercise consideration for the natural environment, will this product reduce my carbon emissions, etc.

With social responsibility there are long term benefits such as a cleaner, healthier world for our children and our children's children to grow up in, less waste and rubbish finding its way into land-fills or worse still... the sea! Ultimately not only will we be making a contribution to the planet but we'll be providing ourselves with cheaper power, reducing not only our cost of living but also dependency on local utilities.
