Put Your Trust in Us

by

Throughout the years, Sun4Light has received numerous calls from folks living throughout Horry County and Southern Brunswick counties desperate for skylight and Sun Tunnel help. Although our cut-offline service has really been about as far south as Oak Island, we have tried not to leave anyone without assistance. We’ve helped many folks from Sun Tunnel projects just outside of Calabash to guide a senior into a grant claim; our team has stepped up to plate.

We are honored and excited VELUX has asked Sun4Light, Inc. To take over the skylight and Sun Tunnel needs in the Myrtle Beach areas. With more than thirty years of construction experience, we are a General Contractor specializing in the installation/replacement of skylights and Sun Tunnels.

Although our installers roof daily with our skylight projects, we are not a roofing company. In fact, our customers include roofers, contractors, and homeowners! Our goal is to be the company folks rely on for product information, innovative lighting solutions, and outstanding installations.

Give us a ring and learn about Sun4Light is your best skylight/Sun Tunnel provider.

Introducing “The VELUX Skylight System”

Manufacturers rarely make price-conscious product changes that actually help their customers. But I am here to tell you; VELUX did it. As of April 7th, most of the standard skylights include white solar-powered room-darkening blinds, and prices were slashed!

Throughout the years, the majority of Sun4Light customers have opted to add solar-powered room-darkening blinds to their skylights during installation and replacement of the units. The sticker shock of $450-$490 has been tough for customers to swallow. But being able to stop heat gain/loss or control lot is unsurpassed by the blinds and well worth the money.

After the pandemic, VELUX conducted a study across the US on the interest of skylight blinds and found 90% of people would add them to their skylights if given the opportunity. So, VELUX stepped up to the plate and gave the “people” what they wanted with the new VELUX “Skylight System”. With the exception of a few very narrow and super large standard skylights, all VELUX units now include white solar-powered room-darkening blinds with a handheld remote and best of all, the average cost of the blinds is about $200. Check out the following video to learn more about the functionality of the blinds.

Bright Ideas and Big Solutions

by

I’m not a big tv watcher. Don’t get me wrong, I can waste a few hours on Facebook or TikTok and Pinterest is my jam. I love scrolling through the posts, admiring the creativity of others, and imagining how my home might look with trendy paint colors and new counter tops. But what I’ve learned is that good bones can make any home look magazine worthy!

The architecture or design of a room might lend itself to the placement of a sofa. Floor coverings and rugs might add a punch of needed color or warmth. But what about the ceiling? What about the lighting? The often forgotten fifth wall is vital in creating a wellbalanced space. That’s where skylights and Sun Tunnels can be a game-changer

Skylights are windows on a roof that allow ambient light to flow into a living space. They give homeowners the opportunity to engage with nature by seeing the moon, stars, trees, and sky. Light from these units can be controlled with VELUX solar-powered roomdarkening solar-powered blinds. Moreover, VELUX also offers these units the ability to open and allow fresh air to penetrate living space!

Sun Tunnels or tubular skylights include a roof dome, ceiling diffuser, and highly reflective tubing connected to each part via the attic. While domed acrylic units are most commonly installed, VELUX also offers the TLR flat glass sola tube for south facing solutions. Fourteen-inch Rigid Duct Sun Tunnel is 3,9 times brighter than a 100-watt light bulb and illuminates 325 square feet of living space. Ten-inch units are best for smaller living areas and brighten 150 square feet. While it is not possible to see out of the Sun Tunnel or tubular skylights, these units make a quick and dramatic difference in dark living areas.

The trusted advisors at Sun4Light are here to help guide you in planning, product selection, and installation. Give us a call today for additional information and pricing!

New Home Designs Missing the Mark

by

The Fall Parade of Homes was recently held in my hometown. This event is hosted by the builder’s association and gives the public the opportunity to tour recently built or sold homes. As I strolled down the streets, I was shocked to find most exteriors of the home’s exteriors painted white. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the clean crisp color of white. But three new homes all in the same shade lacks originality, and it looks like someone hit a sale at the paint store!

One can’t help but wonder “who” lives or will live in some of these homes. The sheer magnitude of mopping and dusting required boggles the mind. Don’t get me wrong; these homes are magnificent. From dreamy kitchens to infinity pools, they look more like small resorts than a home with three screaming toddlers or messy teenagers.

As I toured these massive homes, shuffling from room to room, and ending outdoors on the lanai ( it’s a porch where I come from), one thing was missing…..skylights. Good oldfashioned traditional glass skylights were nowhere to be found. By Golley with a price tag of two to four million dollars, one would think an extra thousand dollars for skylights would have made the budget. But alas, they didn’t.

It seems that skylight installation seems to boggle the minds of some folks. Although the instructions are in the box, installers must read them and there’s trouble! Builders subcontract work and often lack good relationships with specialty contractors. They can rely on the same framing crews, HVAC, electricians, and roofers. But installing skylights is not for just anyone.

Luckily, Sun4Light is here to help. Our goal is to educate folks. We help homeowners, roofers, and contractors determine the best product for their application. As the only VELUX Dealer-Installer in the area, our internal team of installers can help with technical applications as well as product information. We are a turnkey company and take great pride in helping homeowners beautifully brighten their homes!

More Light, Please

by

The Carolinas are home to many retirement communities featuring beautiful patio and cottage styled homes. These neighborhoods offer fantastic amenities like clubhouses, Golf courses, indoor pools, walking trails, and pickleball courts. Designed with small front porches and side or rear gathering places, residents relish the beauty of their homes.

The only drawback seems to be the lighting. New home builders focus on what catches the buyer’s eye like beautiful counter tops, large closets, and walk-in showers. They tend to miss the mark on natural lighting. With most often one side of the house being without windows due to the courtyard resulting in dark kitchens and family rooms.

One 14-inch VELUX TMR Rigid Duct Sun Tunnel is 3.9 times brighter than a 100-watt light bulb and illuminates 325 square feet of living space. Most large living areas require two units with kitchen and bathrooms needing only one tunnel. Moreover, VELUX solar tubes will not discolor or delaminate. As a matter of fact, VELUX extends the best product warranty in the industry with 20-Years on the tube lining!

Get out of the dark. Give us a call and learn more about how a little natural light will make you fall in love with your home over and over again!

Baked Alaska!

by

Some of my favorite childhood memories center around our family vacations. Growing up  on a family farm meant taking those trips once the harvest was completed, on rainy days,  or on weekends when my dad didn’t have to milk cows! We would load up in the pick-up  truck and head to the North Carolina Mountains twice a year visiting various parks, looking  for rocks, and wading in the creeks. From fresh trout cooked at a roadside cafe, to the smell of the hot coffee and pancake syrup from all you can eat hotel breakfasts, we enjoyed  every twist and turn of the scenic highway. 

As we grew up and moved away from home, my parents continued to enjoy weeklong trips  to Gatlinburg. Seeking a more adventuresome landscape, they embarked on the world of  cruising. Not being comfortable with flying, they drove from Virginia to Florida, setting afloat for weeks at a time to see the world outside of their own landscape! Those crystal blue  waters from the Caribbean and haggling for goods in Mexico were surely enjoyed, but the presentation of the Baked Alaska in the cruise ship dining room seemed to be the one thing  etched in their minds as representing a purely delightful vacation.  

Perplexed with the idea that ice cream could be sandwiched between layers of sponge  cake covered in meringue and toasted without melting is utterly mesmerizing! But this  tasty treat holds a very important secret. The bubbles in the meringue act as an insulator  protecting the ice cream from heat, much like the VELUX engineered dual flashing systems protect skylights from leaking.  

Regardless of the type of roofing product installed, VELUX skylights are backed by the 10  Year “No Leak” warranties when installed correctly. While the Deck Mounted units include  a seal that is nailed to the roof deck and the curb Mounted Skylights have a gasket that  forms a tight seal, both types of products rely on an all-weather underlayment wrapped  around the units and adhered to the roof deck. The underlayment product adds a secure  layer of protection against water penetration, bugs, birds, etc.  

Here is an example of a skylight incorrectly installed without the corresponding flashing  and underlayment versus a unit installed exceeding the VELUX installation guidelines  allowing the unit to qualify for the VELUX No Leak Warranties.

The old term “there’s a method to madness” is no further than the truth when it comes to skylight installation and baking. The success of both processes requires the installers to follow the instructions meticulously. One would not try replacing toasted whipped cream  with meringue. So why would installers skip the step of placing underlayment around the  skylights?  

Raise your spoon to those triumphant baking successes and correct skylight Installations on National Baked Alaska Day, February 1st . Let’s celebrate great memories, tasty treats,  and No Leak Skylights!
