Energy Saving Daylight For Dark Spaces
There's light at the end of the utility bill tunnel, thanks to an easy-to-install skylight that not only brings light to dark spaces, but also helps cut energy costs. That savings is not insignificant, as Americans spend 20 percent of their electricity bills on lighting their home.
Called tubular skylights, they are ideal for situations where there just is not enough light and the homeowner doesn't want to install a more traditional lighting system, explains a spokesman for ODL, the Michigan company that makes the skylights. They're perfect for bathrooms, hallways, closets, laundry rooms and just about any room in the house.
Easy To Install
In addition to being Energy-Star qualified, the skylight is also easy for homeowners and contractors to install. A new two-piece installation kit makes installing the skylight simple because the bottom adjustable tube overlaps the top adjustable tube. Just cut a hole in the ceiling and a corresponding one on the roof. Slide in the dome flashing under the roof shingles and attach the reflective tubes. Cap them with the ceiling covering. You may download detailed instructions and watch video clips at www.odl.com/sky lights.
The skylight features a patented Solar Lens Dome, which increases light through the tube. During the full midday sun, a 10-inch tubular skylight lights up 150 square feet of space with a solar throughput equal to about three 100-watt bulbs. The 14-inch tubular skylight is designed to light up 300 square feet-an output equal to about five 100-watt bulbs.
ODL also offers a 10-inch and 14-inch Severe Weather Tubular Skylight, for areas where hail or hurricanes are common.

Sturdy design, stylish looking shoe storage. Even large sized shoes and high heels fit perfectly. We placed it outside our home under the porch. Letβs see how it is gonna cope with winter weather.

Bought this for a little extra shoe storage in my bedroom as I was fed up trying to reach under my bed, and also forgetting what I had because they were hidden. The colour goes great with my other furniture. My children love to come sit on the bench when talking to me (plus great for me to put my clothes on). The space for shoes is wide enough to take my trainers (some quite chunky). I looked at many before deciding, and for me this was a nice storage bench, neutral colour, best price, best functionality, best price. Construction Instruction were clear and the process did not take long. Very happy with my buy. Would recommend.

I leaned back and unfortunately caused two stress fractures in the seat back. Will brace the fractures and re-paint the breaks. Otherwise, the pop-up tray is versatile and the bench seat is solid.

Is as described and fairly straightforward to put together. Just be aware that whilst there is free delivery over Β£40, if you change your mind you'll be response for return costs, which for furniture can be quite pricey.

I found them easy to snap together and the size that I needed. They hold two of my big cushions for my wicker furniture and go well with my wicker rockers. I love them. They were bought to protect the cushions from the weather and seem to be doing a great job. The tops could double as a side table or a seat for guests.

Nice swing. Fairly easy to assemble but definitely easier with two people. Came with all tools needed to assemble. Seat and back are preassembled as two separate pieces and the rest is unassembled. MAJOR ASSEMBLY HINT... when assembling the A-frame, there are three sizes of screws all VERY close in size. Make sure to sort first by size. Took two of us about an hour to assemble, trying to figure out the images in the instructions. Don't really like how the chain lays against the seat and how thin the A-frame legs are, but for the price I can't complain. My old cedar swing lasted 25 years. Don't think this will last more than 10. We shall see.

Pretty at first but does not hold up to weather outside. Had it for a year and have to replace it.

Timely delivery on a double order. Super attractive benches for outdoor seating at my biz. However one bench was broken in one area and another had a crack. Will be receiving a replacement so Iβm good with that.

These are so elegant and love they are faux wicker with faux bamboo. I needed to buy these for a client's doctor's office so they need to stand up to all ages, weather and needs and this nails it on the head. Thank you I highly recommend these dining chairs and they are stackable!

I love the look of these. In the picture they appear to have a gloss on them which I liked for rain, or easy wipe off, but they don't actually have that sheen. There are a few spots on them that did not get stained well, so the color is not completely even. They are very comfortable, but creak quite a bit when sitting and getting up. I don't believe they are really heavy duty like they look. It is nice to have the large arms on them to put a plate or drink.
