Local Ilkeston Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation

We install VELUX sun tunnels in Ilkeston 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 Ilkeston?

Installing a sun tunnel in Ilkeston starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.

  • The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
  • 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.

Sun tunnel options for Ilkeston homes

Sun tunnels in Ilkeston can be 35 cm, 45 cm or 60 cm in diameter, with optional electric or solar diffusers for very dark rooms.

  • Flat or pitched roof domes are chosen to match the existing roof covering.
  • Electric and solar-powered diffusers can add a small light boost for very dark rooms.
  • 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.

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.
