Schools and students benefit from additional daylight with Solatube Daylight Systems.  The squeeze is on for schools. Budgets have been cut. Energy prices have gone through the roof. Many facilities are aging and overcrowded. Pressure to boost student exam results is up. More than ever before, schools are facing tough choices in order to provide the best learning environment for students. Solatube offers a solution. The strategic use of natural lighting techniques - known as "daylighting" - has become a key component of school modernization projects. More than just the latest design fad, effective daylighting allows schools to achieve significant energy savings, increase student attendance and improve exam results, be environmentally responsible, and provide better overall facilities in which students can learn and teachers can work. Solatube, the world-renowned tubular daylight system, provides schools with a compelling alternative to artificial lighting, bringing the benefits of brilliant, natural light to both new and existing buildings. Solatube daylighting systems actively capture daylight from the rooftop and pipe it through highly reflective tubing to where it's needed. There are no running costs and the systems are maintenance free. Solatube uses the most advanced technologies to ensure that the quality, efficiency and performance of their systems is unrivalled.

Solatube's UK distributor, SolaLighting Limited, has experienced a surge in demand for its products in schools across the UK. The compact, modular design of the skylights, combined with dimming capabilities and lighting controls, make them an ideal choice for school environments - in traditional classrooms and portable buildings, changing rooms and gymnasiums, art studios and IT rooms. Our clients to date have included Eton College, Havering Sixth Form College, Cambridge University, and many local schools such as the Brooke VC Primary school in Norwich, who had two Solatube systems installed in their windowless staff room.

Clare Cook, the head teacher at Brooke VC Primary School commented: "As we look at improving areas of the school, we intend to put in Solatubes wherever it’s appropriate. I am so impressed at the results they achieve that I am recommending them to other head teachers for their schools too. I am also warning people to make sure they install Solatubes, not flexible tube products which we found to be simply a waste of time and money and do not fulfill their claims.”
