Frequently Asked Questions About VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation in Edinburgh

Which rooms can have a sun tunnel in Edinburgh?

Sun tunnels are ideal for hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms in Edinburgh. Any room with roof access above can benefit from one.

Can a sun tunnel be installed in most roof types in Edinburgh?

Yes, we can install sun tunnels in most roof types in Edinburgh, including those with Victorian tenements and modern flats. We survey the roof and loft space first to choose the best tunnel type and route.

What is the difference between rigid and flexible sun tunnels in Edinburgh?

Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling. Flexible tunnels in Edinburgh are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.

Do sun tunnels work on cloudy days in Edinburgh?

Sun tunnels in Edinburgh still provide useful light on overcast days, although output is highest in direct sun. They work well in the conditions typical of the area.

Local Edinburgh Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation

We install VELUX sun tunnels in Edinburgh and the surrounding area to bring natural daylight into rooms with no external wall. Rigid or flexible tunnels are chosen based on the roof and ceiling route.

What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Edinburgh?

A sun tunnel installation in Edinburgh is planned around the Victorian tenements and modern flats 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.
  • 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.

Sun tunnel options for Edinburgh homes

For Edinburgh homes, we choose between rigid and flexible sun tunnels based on the Victorian tenements and modern flats of the home, roof pitch and the distance between the dome and ceiling diffuser.

  • Electric and solar-powered diffusers can add a small light boost for very dark rooms.
  • Flexible tunnels work around obstructions in the loft, though they lose a little more light.
  • Tunnels can be 35 cm, 45 cm or 60 cm in diameter to suit the room size.
  • Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where 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.
