Frequently Asked Questions About VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation in St Albans

What is the difference between rigid and flexible sun tunnels in St Albans?

Local St Albans Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
We fit rigid and flexible VELUX sun tunnels across St Albans and the Hertfordshire area. The right choice depends on the roof pitch, loft space and the distance to the ceiling diffuser.
What happens during a sun tunnel installation in St Albans?

- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.

Sun tunnel installation know-how for St Albans
For St Albans properties, we choose the tunnel type and route based on the Georgian architecture of the home, roof pitch and the conditions the dome will be exposed to.
- Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
- Solar-powered and electric diffusers are available for hard-to-reach rooms.
- 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.
