VELUX Sun Tunnel installation – Harrogate HG1

Daylight for a landing in Harrogate, HG1

Two VELUX Sun Tunnels installed in Harrogate HG1, bringing natural daylight down to an upstairs landing above the stairs. The sun tunnels sit in a concrete interlocking tile roof, sealed with grey flashing, and light the landing through two round ceiling diffusers.

The job

This was a new installation rather than a replacement. Our fitters installed two VELUX Sun Tunnels through the tiled roof, with grey flashing to seal them into the concrete interlocking tiles, and two round diffusers in the landing ceiling. The installation went smoothly, with no problems.

Why choose a sun tunnel?

• Daylight where a roof window isn’t practical – ideal for landings, hallways, bathrooms, en-suites and walk-in wardrobes.
• No structural changes in most cases – the tube usually fits between the rafters, so there is no rafter cutting.
• Quick to install – a sun tunnel installation is usually done in a day.
• Light carried down a reflective tube – daylight enters through the roof dome and travels down a highly reflective tube.
• Even light – the ceiling diffuser spreads the daylight evenly across the space.
• Less daytime lighting – natural light can save switching on electric lights during the day.
• Privacy – there is no direct view out, so it suits bathrooms and en-suites.
• Low maintenance and weather-tight – a sealed, weather-tight flashing and very little upkeep.
