Unlike a traditional skylight, room temperature is not compromised by a shaft breaking the integrity of insulation against external conditions, reducing heat transfer. This makes illume more energy efficient adding to utility cost savings and less emissions. Also there is no need to regularly clean as illume removes common issues experienced with skylights such as mould, bugs and dust.
How does illume work? illume Skylight Alternative creates harmony between internal and external lighting using Ambient Light Technologu (A.L.T). The system comes to life and adjusts itself as the sun makes its way across the sky. Just like traditional skylights, the light emitted by an illume system is variable based on the angle of sunlight and volume of cloud cover.
The skylight alternative that you can install in any room on any floor of any residential, commercial or public building. Unlike traditional skylights, you don’t require direct roof access to install an illume skylight alternative. You can place an illume panel in any internal space where additional daytime lighting is of benefit including basements, pantries, walk-in wardrobes, internal bathrooms and ground floor living rooms in multi-story floor-plans.
No heat transfer:
Unlike a traditional skylight, room temperature is not compromised by a shaft breaking the integrity of insulation against external conditions. It means that an illume fitted space will retain heat in winter and repel heat in summer more efficiently than a shafted skylight system would thereby further adding to utility cost savings.
No leaks:
Fitting an illume requires no modification to the roof structure. With all roof materials remaining intact, there is no opportunity for water to pool or trickle down through the light diffuser.
Environmentally Friendly:
illume is entirely powered by solar energy with no mains power or batteries required. Just like a traditional skylight, illume brightens your space during the day reflecting external light conditions and sustainably reducing utility energy costs.
Costs can vary depending on certain aspects such as the space you wish to utilise in your attic, the type of attic ladder that suits your needs and amount of storage space you want.
Most of our rooms are costed on a transparent square metre pricing structure so there are no hidden costs. A truss roof attracts a slightly higher rate, but we will advise of this right from the start.
Sorry no, we only install storage areas and ladders to access your attic, which are completely different from living/habitable areas and cannot be used as such.
As an owner operator I keep costs down by not having a showroom, however this means I have competitive pricing and a premium & honest service!
I also have made a YouTube channel to help demonstrate the wide range of premium ladders I sell, check it out by clicking.
Yes, in most cases we can re-route the ducting if required. This is a common task as the ducting is most often run on a direct route to the outlet running across the path of the most usable storage area.
If you can crawl comfortably in your attic, you’ll be able to comfortable fit things in your attic! With flooring installation available, your attic space can be utilised even if it is small.
I install the attic ladder the same day I arrive. Within 2 weeks of quoting the job I will be at your home installing the attic ladder. Have peace of mind that when I’m finished with the installation, I’ll leave your home just as clean as when I arrived!
Our Attic Ladders range from timber ladders to full aluminium ladders. The quality of our ladders are guaranteed for your peace of mind!
Yes, depending on the weight. We build a sub frame on top of your existing ceiling joists upon which we securely screw down our flooring which is engineer approved to hold 75 kg per square metre, plus your own weight.
An appraisal is completely free and without obligation. Most of the time I’m also able to quote over the phone if provided with a clear picture! However sometimes I need to visit the site in person, completely free of charge.
I eoin around to install an attic ladder in my unit. from first call to installation he was very informative and excellent quality work. Always great to see an owner operator so passionate about his work.
Peter DicksonSo happy with our new attic storage area. We had been struggling for years with for storage. After a quote from eoin we had him around to install a Kimberley attic ladder and storage flooring. We couldn't be happier with the job he done and how he did a few extra bits of work at no charge. Highly recommended
Rebecca UrenOwen is a great worker, diligent and thorough, he did a job for us and I can say we were so happy with his performance. He went way beyond what a normal tradesman would do. He also kept to his quoted price and kept us informed when he was on site. I can recommend Owen for ladders, floors, roofs and sheds safe in the knowledge that you too will be happy with his work.
Noel TobinHad eoin around to install and attic ladder and solar roof vent,it’s made the world of difference to our home
Stephen MohanHighly recommend. Eoin did an amazing job and was incredibly helpful throughout the whole experience. Eoin is professional, down to earth, and honest. I used to dread going into the attic as it was always an ordeal, now it is super easy. The space has allowed for so much more storage and the exhaust fan keeps it much more comfortable. Now all that's left is to paint the door.
Michael FronisGreat workmanship and fantastic price
Dan JenkinsEoin, Did a fantastic job! Great tradie.
Anthony ScodellaroGreat communication prior to the service. On time, ran us through the issue and how best to go about fixing it. Very honest. Highly recommend!
Codey GrayGood service and advice on where to place the attic ladder. Great work doing the install and tidy up afterwards. Highly recommend.
Owen KennedyEion installed our illumine skylight today we were so impressed with the professionalism and workmanship. Thank you Eion, our new skylight looks amazing. No more excess power bills!
MR PJROB 7610/10 would recommend Eoin from Attic Ladders and Floors! Due to our expanding family we've had Eoin out twice to install two attics and have been more than thrilled both times. Eoin was punctual, curteous, professional, very well priced and did an excellent job
Belinda MaleVery impressed with the Kimberley Attic Ladder and Solar Vent. Exceptional service from Eoin at Attic Ladders and Floors Qld. Would highly recommend.
Rob DayHad such a great experience dealing with Eoin. We had a really old attic ladder that needed to be fixed and he kindly came over to have a look at it and even taught us how to repair it in future. Extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend his services
Ruby BirdAfter we recently bought a house the first thing we had an issue with was lack of storage. After we saw eoin on facebook we had him around for a quote. We were very happy with how he explained the whole process. His quote was very reasonable and we are so happy with the finished result
florelvee virayWe loved Eoin’s work. He installed 2 Illume solar powered skylights to brighten up our days, a clever attic ladder and floor and a solar powered roof fan which is really cool. He is a genuine, hard-working, reliable guy who knows what works. He provides real value for money and we wholeheartedly recommend him.
Margaret MikeI would recommend this business. The work was of excellent standard and the service was prompt. I would use them again in the future.
Troy LehmannGreat Job done on time and very professional .
SteveSTOP! If you are reading this that means you are looking for an attic ladder and you have found your company. We had Eoin install an attic ladder in our townhome and could not be happier with our decision, what more can you ask for than a tradie who quotes a fair price, do the work on time with absolutely no fuss or mess and leaves the site cleaner than he found it. Will definitely use Eoin again when we look at installing a solar roof ventilator.
Craig PykeVery happy with the hole process from quote to installation and very competitive quote
John Paul BlanchfieldI did alot of research and chose Owen over the competition due to his vast knowledge on various solar vent products, attention to detail, and excellent service. He is 2nd to none - highly recommended. Also, the solar vent works fabulous - so much heat is removed from the roof cavity, we can run our A/C less often.
Vincent ButtigiegVery Highly recommended -really happy with our Attic ladder install - Eoin is very professional, great communication - arrives on time. Great Tradesman if I could give him 10 stars I would - Thank you Eoin
Donah BicknellNice Job thanks Mate
Paw Prints Of OreoHello, Eoin is extremely reliable, he took out our old ladder and put in a new one. Eoin made sure he cleaned up after himself and I am very happy with his work. Toni
Toni PattieLots of extra storage in the roof now. Well priced and quality product.
William MortimerI rang Eoin today to organise a repair or a replacement of my currently old but functional attic ladder. A visiting tradesman had bent it and it would no longer close. Eoin took me through the options and offered to drop by on his way to another job for a look to see what best to do. I asked if I should send some photos to help him out in preparation for the repairs/replacement. I sent them through and whilst talking to him, he proceeded to tell me how to fix my problem from the pictures over the phone. He said ring me back if it doesn’t work and I will come as arranged. So 10 minutes later, attic ladder all fixed and no need for repair or replacement. Eoin did himself out of a job, by being a decent bloke. I can’t speak to his work, but if it matches his integrity and decency, it will be top notch. The minute my current arrangement actually breaks, he is the only person I will call. Give him a ring, you won’t regret it.
Scott ShortenThere are not enough superlatives for the work Eoin carried out... not only was it done in a perfect & timely manner - the guy was a proper gent as well, who really knew his stuff. I'll definitely use him again/recommend him to anyone. Top class.
Grant PayneEoin recently installed a large Illume in our kitchen/dining area. The extra light makes a huge difference. Eoin also installed a solar roof vent on the day for us. It is much cooler up in the attic space now. Even the temperature downstairs dropped a degree already. Eoin did a very neat job, was on time and very knowledgeable. Have already recommended him to a colleague and will be installing more illumes in the bathrooms soon! Thanks you Eoin for a great job!
Celine SHe fixed up an attic ladder that was installed by someone else. Very helpful and with quick responses to my questions
Piehammer2000Amazing results, Owen was professional and on time - would recommend to anyone who needs storage at a fair price!
savas ermidesVery highly recommend Attic Ladders and Floors. We had an attic ladder installed and it was top class from start to finish. Eoin is a personable chap, very efficient, showed up on time, and did an excellent job. Can't recommend too highly.
