Sun tunnel installation know-how for Richmond upon Thames
Our Richmond upon Thames sun tunnel surveys check the roof covering, loft space and ceiling position to choose the most efficient route.
- Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
- Longer tunnel runs and multiple bends reduce light output, so we design the shortest practical route.
- Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
- We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
