Among the striking differences are the technical sheets that specify the efficiency of the pipe given it's length and diameter.

Available in diameters large enough to service up to 300 sq. ft. the the Solatube brings natural light from the roof to where you need it. A supplied tube up to 30 ft. long allows light to reach even the first floor in a two story house, assuming you have room for the tube.

Interior rooms where a window is not an option are a prime target for these systems. With features that allow the fixture to function as a light at night or dim daylight when too much is entering a room this fixture is sure to give you a new perspective on a dark room.

The EcoDrain is a shower plumbing drain that allows incoming cold water to be preheated by the exiting drain water.
