What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Chelmsford?
Installing a sun tunnel in Chelmsford starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.
- We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Chelmsford
For Chelmsford properties, we choose the tunnel type and route based on the modern developments of the home, roof pitch and the conditions the dome will be exposed to.
- Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
- Solar-powered and electric diffusers are available for hard-to-reach rooms.
- 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.
