Local Reading Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
Sun tunnel installation in Reading is ideal for hallways, bathrooms and utility rooms in the modern commercial buildings typical of local homes. We choose the right tunnel type for the roof and ceiling position.
What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Reading?
We choose the shortest, most efficient route to bring daylight into the room below.
- 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.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
- A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Reading
In Reading, 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.
- 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.
