Sun tunnel installation know-how for St Andrews
For St Andrews properties, we choose the tunnel type and route based on the medieval architecture of the home, roof pitch and the conditions the dome will be exposed to.
- 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.
- 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.
