Frequently Asked Questions About VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation in Colchester
What is the difference between rigid and flexible sun tunnels in Colchester?
Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling. Flexible tunnels in Colchester are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
Can a sun tunnel be installed in most roof types in Colchester?
Yes, we can install sun tunnels in most roof types in Colchester, including those with Victorian developments. We survey the roof and loft space first to choose the best tunnel type and route.
Do sun tunnels work on cloudy days in Colchester?
Sun tunnels in Colchester still provide useful light on overcast days, although output is highest in direct sun. They work well in the conditions typical of the area.
How much light does a sun tunnel add in Colchester?
A sun tunnel in Colchester can add a surprising amount of natural light to a dark room. The exact amount depends on the tunnel length, diameter and roof orientation.
Local Colchester Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
For the Victorian developments typical of Colchester properties, a VELUX sun tunnel can add natural light without major building work. We plan the route using Colchester Railway Station, A12 road where access allows.
What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Colchester?
A sun tunnel installation in Colchester is planned around the Victorian developments found in the property and the conditions it will be exposed to. We choose rigid or flexible tubing accordingly.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
- A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
- We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Colchester
In Colchester, the choice between rigid and flexible sun tunnels depends on the distance and direction between the roof dome and the ceiling diffuser.
- 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.
- 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.
