Local Whitby Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
We fit rigid and flexible VELUX sun tunnels across Whitby and the North Yorkshire 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 Whitby?
We choose the shortest, most efficient route to bring daylight into the room below.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
- A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
- We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.
- We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for Whitby
Sun tunnel performance in Whitby depends on keeping the route as short and straight as possible. We plan this during the initial survey for every property.
- Solar-powered and electric diffusers are available for hard-to-reach rooms.
- Flexible tunnels are used when the route around roof timbers is not straight.
- 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.
