Local Ashford Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation

Sun tunnel installation in Ashford is ideal for hallways, bathrooms and utility rooms in the modern developments typical of local homes. We choose the right tunnel type for the roof and ceiling position.

What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Ashford?

Installing a sun tunnel in Ashford starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.

  • The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
  • A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
  • We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.

Sun tunnel options for Ashford homes

For Ashford homes, we choose between rigid and flexible sun tunnels based on the modern developments of the home, roof pitch and the distance between the dome and ceiling diffuser.

  • Electric and solar-powered diffusers can add a small light boost for very dark rooms.
  • Flexible tunnels work around obstructions in the loft, though they lose a little more light.
  • Tunnels can be 35 cm, 45 cm or 60 cm in diameter to suit the room size.
  • Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.

Sun tunnel installation know-how for Ashford

Sun tunnel performance in Ashford depends on keeping the route as short and straight as possible. We plan this during the initial survey for every property.

  • Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
  • Longer tunnel runs and multiple bends reduce light output, so we design the shortest practical route.
  • We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
  • Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
