Let the sun shine and light up your property
Sick of turning your lights on constantly? Fed up with feeling like the sun’s forgotten your property? Our skylights and sun tunnels are cost-effective solutions that give your home the natural light it deserves.
Whether you have a small condo or a property with a unique architectural style, our innovative solutions brighten up your living space and enhance ventilation.
Is it time to replace your skylight or sun tunnel?
Skylights and sun tunnels are great investments for your property, but they can lose functionality over time.
If you notice your existing sun tunnels and skylights attract a lot of condensation, or the room they’re installed in is losing hot or cold air, it’s probably time to replace them.
Skylights over ten years old will drop in performance, but our modern solutions offer long-term energy efficiency and unparalleled security.
Supplied by Velux, each comes with a no-leak guarantee.
Sun Tunnels
Properties with small rooms often can’t benefit from windows in these areas, but sun tunnels are ideal for injecting natural light into these spaces.
Narrow hallways, closets, small bathrooms and other areas can come to life with sun tunnels that reduce energy bills.
Our sun tunnels suit rooms with long spaces between the floor and ceiling, where skylights are incompatible.
With innovative dual frosted diffusers to ensure even light distribution and Velux Patented Flexi Loc systems for easy installation, you get a cost-effective solution that opens up your property.
Skylights
Every Vancouver Island resident knows the importance of a great skylight. The sun’s position in the winter can impact the light your property receives, while our tall trees and lush greenery can create shadows during the summer.
Installing new skylights lets you take advantage of everything modern technology offers, including more effective locking systems and advanced features that facilitate even light distribution.

The best thing about sun tunnels is their versatility. Whether you have a character property or smaller rooms that don’t attract much natural light, installing a sun tunnel can brighten the space and enhance ventilation.

- Visible signs of water damage and leaks
- Cracks in the frames or glass
- Glass panes that accumulate fog
- Heating or cooling systems becoming less effective
- Noticing visible drafts
While replacing your skylights does cost money, the long-term benefits include lower energy bills, a better living environment, and enhanced security.
In general, installation can take a couple of hours for small projects or up to a day. It depends on what we’re installing and how complex the process is.
