Local Manchester Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
Sun tunnel installation in Manchester is ideal for hallways, bathrooms and utility rooms in the modern developments typical of local homes. We choose the right tunnel type for the roof and ceiling position.
What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Manchester?
For Manchester homes, we survey the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling before fitting the roof dome, reflective tube and ceiling diffuser.
- 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.
- A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Manchester
Our Manchester sun tunnel surveys check the roof covering, loft space and ceiling position to choose the most efficient route.
- 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.
- We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
- Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
