What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Basildon?
We choose the shortest, most efficient route to bring daylight into the room below.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.
- A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Basildon
In Basildon, the choice between rigid and flexible sun tunnels depends on the distance and direction between the roof dome and the ceiling diffuser.
- 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.
- Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
