An abundance of natural light made available for your home
through a new production process developed in Germany.
This process, called "Anoulx-MiroŽ", is an "Optically Enhanced
Aluminum", not to be confused with aluminum that is coated
with a silver film or is polished. Daylight is reflected down a
mirror-like pipe to a translucent ceiling fixture, which then
diffuses the outside light evenly throughout the room up to
225-sq. ft., even on an overcast or rainy day!
The All-Canadian Tubular Skylite, using this optically
enhanced aluminum, puts out the same or more light
as the conventional skylight.
