What happens during a sun tunnel installation in Southend-on-Sea?
For Southend-on-Sea homes, we survey the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling before fitting the roof dome, reflective tube and ceiling diffuser.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
- We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Southend-on-Sea
Our Southend-on-Sea sun tunnel surveys check the roof covering, loft space and ceiling position to choose the most efficient route.
- Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
- 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.
