Local Durham Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
We fit rigid and flexible VELUX sun tunnels across Durham and the Durham area. The right choice depends on the roof pitch, loft space and the distance to the ceiling diffuser.
What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Durham?
For Durham homes, we survey the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling before fitting the roof dome, reflective tube and ceiling diffuser.
- 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.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Durham
Our Durham sun tunnel surveys check the roof covering, loft space and ceiling position to choose the most efficient route.
- Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
- Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
- Longer tunnel runs and multiple bends reduce light output, so we design the shortest practical route.
