Today, with a nationwide shortage of housing and record-high home prices, a majority of homeowners in the U.S. prefer to stay in their properties over buying new ones. Thus, the business of the upkeep, maintenance, and improvement of existing properties has flourished, fueling the growth of the U.S. Home Improvement industry significantly in the past decade. Home improvement refers to building projects that alter the structure of an existing home and encompasses the maintenance, repair, and general servicing tasks.
Limited Competition
Solatube Home, an American-based franchise, has created its own niche in the home service sector delivering natural light and fresh air. The company focuses on providing immediate, meaningful impact for homeowners. Established three decades ago as a manufacturer of Solatube tubular skylights, Solatube Home has grown to become one of the eminent names in the U.S. Home Services industry. Being America’s only natural light and fresh air franchise, Solatube Home is providing entrepreneurs with an opportunity to be a part of this revolutionary home service business.
Three Decades of Unrivaled Service
Solatube Home’s roots date back to the 1980s when a lone Australian inventor created a product that revolutionized the way daylight was brought into homes. Known as tubular skylights, the product was a compact and leak-proof alternative to traditional skylights that could be installed in about two hours.
After being patented, tubular skylights became the first Solatube “produced ever sold” and a catalyst that transformed the daylighting and ventilation industry. Soon after, the Solatube Tubular Skylight product was invented and Solatube Home was established to install these revolutionary products. The company has been installing its products for homeowners for two decades. It has installed natural lighting and ventilation products in over 100,000 homes.
Leading-edge Products
Solatube Home aims to provide the highest quality products with world-class service to create a healthier and happier home for its customers. Solatube is an inventor of innovative technology in daylighting.
With tubular skylights, Solatube has introduced a new way to bring natural light into spaces that would ordinarily have little or no light. As a result of the unique sunlight-catching roof-mounted domes, tubes made from the world’s most reflective material that brings light through attic spaces, and fashionable yet functional diffusers, Solatube has developed engineering solutions that have changed the industry.
The company has extended its innovative approach in daylighting industry to introduce new technologies for traditional skylights. Solatube’s HSE performance series delivers distinguished features to maximize health, safety, and energy efficiency. Its unique, double-layered glass construction delivers beautiful optics as well as minimizes damaging UV and infrared light, reduces glare, keeps excessive cold and heat out, provides resistance to cracking, and is energy star rated.
Besides helping homeowners enjoy beautiful, natural light in their homes, Solatube also delivers clean, fresh air through a variety of ventilation products. Its whole-house fans cool the entire home in just minutes. Moreover, it also offers solar-powered fans to pull the heat from attics and garages.
