Let The Sunshine Indoors (NAPSA)—Winter may be on its way, along with fewer daylight hours, but you can still make the most of natural sunlight with the help of a skylight. A good skylight can brighten a room much better than a light- bulb. What’s more, certain tubular skylights have been “Green Approved” by the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) Research Center under the National Green Building Standard toward greencertification of a home. The NAHB Research Center is a full-service product commercialization company that strives to make housing more durable and affordable. Companies that have earned the Green Approved mark are helping mainstream builders make the right choices when they design and build Green Certified homes. A skylight can be easy for homeowners and contractors to install. ODL, Inc. offers a twopiece installation kit that makes installing the skylight simple because the bottom adjustable tube overlaps the top adjustable tube. Homeowners and contractors have fewer product pieces to work with, which is especially helpful in attic installations.
