Frequently Asked Questions About VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation in Gateshead
What is the difference between rigid and flexible sun tunnels in Gateshead?
Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling. Flexible tunnels in Gateshead are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.

Sun tunnels in Gateshead still provide useful light on overcast days, although output is highest in direct sun. They work well in the conditions typical of the area.
Can a sun tunnel be installed in most roof types in Gateshead?
Yes, we can install sun tunnels in most roof types in Gateshead, including those with riverside and modern housing. We survey the roof and loft space first to choose the best tunnel type and route.

Local Gateshead Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
We install VELUX sun tunnels in Gateshead 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 Gateshead?
Installing a sun tunnel in Gateshead 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.
- 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.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Gateshead
In Gateshead, the choice between rigid and flexible sun tunnels depends on the distance and direction between the roof dome and the ceiling diffuser.
- Longer tunnel runs and multiple bends reduce light output, so we design the shortest practical route.
- Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
- Solar-powered and electric diffusers are available for hard-to-reach rooms.
