Local Yarm Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation

We fit rigid and flexible VELUX sun tunnels across Yarm and the Stockton-on-Tees 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 Yarm?

Installing a sun tunnel in Yarm starts with a survey of the roof, loft space and ceiling position.

  • We check the roof covering, rafter positions and ceiling location to plan the route.
  • The work area is cleaned and the system is checked before we leave.
  • A small roof dome is fitted on the roof and a reflective tube is routed to the ceiling.

Sun tunnel options for Yarm homes

The right sun tunnel depends on the roof construction, the distance to the ceiling and the room you want to light.

  • Electric and solar-powered diffusers can add a small light boost for very dark rooms.
  • Flexible tunnels work around obstructions in the loft, though they lose a little more light.
  • Tunnels can be 35 cm, 45 cm or 60 cm in diameter to suit the room size.
  • Rigid sun tunnels give the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.

Sun tunnel installation know-how for Yarm

For Yarm properties, we choose the tunnel type and route based on the period and modern housing 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.
  • 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.
  • Rigid sun tunnels are the most efficient option when the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling.
