Local York Considerations for Sun Tunnel Installation
Sun tunnel installation in York is ideal for hallways, bathrooms and utility rooms in the medieval and modern housing typical of local homes. We choose the right tunnel type for the roof and ceiling position.
What happens during a sun tunnel installation in York?
A sun tunnel installation in York is planned around the medieval and modern housing found in the property and the conditions it will be exposed to. We choose rigid or flexible tubing accordingly.
- 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.
- We choose rigid or flexible tubing based on the straightness of the route and the light level needed.
Sun tunnel installation know-how for York
For York properties, we choose the tunnel type and route based on the medieval and modern housing of the home, roof pitch and the conditions the dome will be exposed to.
- 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.
- Solar-powered and electric diffusers are available for hard-to-reach rooms.
