Local Richmond Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
We install VELUX sun tunnels in Richmond 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 Richmond?
Installing a sun tunnel in Richmond starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.
- 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.
- We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Richmond
In Richmond, the choice between rigid and flexible sun tunnels depends on the distance and direction between the roof dome and the ceiling diffuser.
- 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.
- We finish the ceiling diffuser and roof dome neatly to match the room and roof covering.
