We choose the shortest, most efficient route to bring daylight into the room below.
- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.

Sun tunnel installation know-how for Darlington
Sun tunnel performance in Darlington 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.
- We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
- 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.
