Frequently Asked Questions About VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation in Whitehaven

Local Whitehaven Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
We fit rigid and flexible VELUX sun tunnels across Whitehaven and the Cumbria 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 Whitehaven?
Installing a sun tunnel in Whitehaven starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.
- A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.
- The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
- The ceiling diffuser is installed in the room below and sealed neatly.
