Daylighting Bathrooms 

If your bathroom has only a small window or no window at all, as is the case in many modern homes today, then your natural light may be limited or indeed non-existent. A Solatube Daylighting System solves the lack of natural daylight in the bathroom and brightens in every sense your daily tasks, such as shaving or applying make-up.  

Daylighting a bathroom is usually straightforward when it comes to installation. We occasionally encounter pipework which we can usually work around, and existing light fittings and ventilation in a bathroom can impact the ultimate location of the diffuser. 

 

If your bathroom is located downstairs, and assuming another room is directly above, the tubing for the light tube may be routed through the inside of a wardrobe or cupboard upstairs, or boxed in in the room above.  

 

We usually find that one Solatube 160 DS can transform an ensuite or small bathroom, although, for larger bathrooms, you have the option of fitting further 160 DS systems or using the larger 290 DS system. 

Steam and condensation are a consideration in any bathroom which is why the Solatube bathroom ventilation kit is very popular, as is the Solatube light kit. Both of these may be fully integrated into our daylighting systems to give a neat 3-in-1 feature that provides daylight, ventilation and electric light. The glass Optiview effect diffuser is also very popular in bathrooms – possibly because of its sparkle!
