Why skylites?

When you come home from a hard day's work, you're still not done. There's dinner to be made, perhaps kids to prepare for bed and school the next day. Maybe you've got to think about work tomorrow or deal with household finances or other chores. How do you let that go when it's time to sleep?

Watch TV?
Read a book?
Count sleep?

We think we know a better way.
Tonight, when you turn off your bedroom lights, young ceiling magically disappears and thousands of stars appear above you. Not just the stars, but the milky way, the moon, even a comet streaking across the sky, right above your own bed.

You can't tell that you're in a room. There is no ceiling, you're lying there under the most beautiful, star filled sky you've ever seen. The major constellations are clearly visible; there are thousands of distant background starts, and the Milky Way is winding a path across the sky overhead. Everything is in place and astronomically accurate for the night sky you have chosen - the feeling is overwhelmingly peaceful.

The stresses of the day are gone, completely. You're falling asleep beneath a beautiful starry sky. Sweet dreams are on the way

Bonding experience for parents and children

Since Skylites is astronomically accurate, it makes an excellent learning tool. Kids and adults can learn together as they examine the night sky. Learning to locate and identify the constellations helps create an oneness with the universe. Plus the experience gained in the comfort of your own bedroom can translate to the outside world. Learn to read a star chart as you get to know your room and you can take that skill outside on your next camping trip with the kids.

For adults

Skylites isn't just for kids, thought, its great for adults, too. Open up your bedroom to the universe and let your imagination run wild. Some find it wonderfully romantic. Just imagine what a gift of stars could do for your relationship.

Heavenly Gift

That's right you can give it as a gift. If you can give us access to the room and get that special someone out of the way for a few hours, we can even make it a surprise. A well-planned gift is always worth a few bonus points.

Warning!

Do not read this section if you enjoy magic. It never pays to know too much about the illusions. If you want to see the stars, don't ask how they get there.

How long will it last?

The duration is entirely dependent on your environment. The darker the room, the longer you will see the stars. This is a physiological effect of your eyes even more than a feature of the stars. Under normal conditions the glow may last for several hours after the lights go out. Since you are usually in bed at this time, chances are good that you will fade long before the stars do.

The effect may be repeated every night for decades. No kidding people hve come back to us after 5 years just to say "Hi" and "Thanks! It's still working".

How much does it cost?

You might think owning the undersea would be expensive, but it's not. It actually costless than a professional decorating job. Costs vary with the size of the room, thought, so call us for an estimate. We'll make sure you get the best deal we can offer. The stellar installer will measure the room and make any adjustments to the estimate before beginning the installation.

What is the chemical makeup of the material

Since it is a process, it is made mostly of talent and technique. There is once material involved in a special binder becomes a permanent part of the ceiling and walls. The material is freshly mixed for each application as it has a limited shelf life. Once applied, it is permanent, non-toxic and non-radioactive and washable and will last for decades. A bled of compounds produces the long lasting, found in the skylites product. Still something need to be kept secret, but we assured it is non-radioactive, non-toxic used in children's toys.

However, it is somewhat unstable when mixed with certain solvents and left over time, which is why we mix it fresh for each application. Once dry or set, it will last longer than the ceiling surfaces to which it is applied.

Will it look ugly on my ceiling in the daytime?

Skylites is normally undetectable on any light colored surface in normal light. Whites, off whites, pastels of all colors, smooth or textured surfaces show little or no evidence of this remarkable effect until the lights go out. Dark colored accent ceiling might show some hint of the process in daylight. If there is a chance of that happening, out installers will not apply stars to those surfaces. Even if the entire ceilings are dark, thought, and we only install the stars on a light colored ceiling, the effect is still remarkable. It looks like a fantastic skylight.

How do I get rid of it if I don't want it anymore?
