What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Portsmouth?
A sun tunnel installation in Portsmouth is planned around the Victorian and modern housing found in the property and the conditions it will be exposed to. We choose rigid or flexible tubing accordingly.
- 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 Portsmouth
Sun tunnel performance in Portsmouth depends on keeping the route as short and straight as possible. We plan this during the initial survey for every property.
- We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
- 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.
