What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Ilkeston?
Installing a sun tunnel in Ilkeston starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.

- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Ilkeston
Sun tunnel performance in Ilkeston depends on keeping the route as short and straight as possible. We plan this during the initial survey for every property.
- Longer tunnel runs and multiple bends reduce light output, so we design the shortest practical route.
- Solar-powered and electric diffusers are available for hard-to-reach rooms.
- Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
