The SkyVent + Ventalite is a revolutionary dual function tubular skylight and ventilator. It brings the functions of a tubular skylight and a ventilator into one low cost product. The one tubular skylight is ventilated by the advanced designed Wind Directional transparent dome that points into the wind and extracts air out of rooms inside the house. Ideal for bathrooms to remove hot moist air at the source. The SkyVent + Ventalite is a low cost method of reducing artificial lighting and associated heat. Ventilation is provided via its flexible tube connected to the aerofoil dome to remove moisture to the outside of the building envelope. Condensation inside the house is dramatically reduced by ventilating the hot moist air from it’s source directly to the outside of the building envelope. The internal air quality of the house will be greatly improved by reducing mould, mildew and associated dust mites. May also reduce many asthma related issues associated with condensation.

​

The SkyVent works on stack effect as well as wind suction, allowing temperature and pressure to work for you, as hot less dense air rises it is replaced by cooler denser air. The advanced design works as a solar chimney so as soon as the sun warms the head of the unit and the attic space, the temperature flow starts to drive the warm air out. The smart design also allows continuous air flow from the adjustable diffuser, trickle ventilation or no ventilation by completely closing the diffuser – Truly an advanced system with the home owners comfort in mind! No wonder the SkyVent has received so much recognition.
