VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation

Professional VELUX Sun Tunnel Installation Service

Transform your dark spaces with VELUX Sun Tunnels, the perfect solution for bringing natural light into areas where traditional windows aren't possible. Our expert installation service ensures your sun tunnel is fitted correctly for maximum light transmission and energy efficiency.

Our experienced technicians specialise in VELUX products and will guide you through the entire process, from choosing the right sun tunnel type to professional installation. We handle everything from roof work to interior finishing, ensuring a clean and professional installation.

Sun tunnels work by capturing daylight through a rooftop dome, which then travels down a highly reflective tunnel and diffuses into your room through a ceiling fixture. This creates beautiful, natural lighting while being more energy-efficient than traditional artificial lighting.

As experienced VELUX installers, we handle the entire process from initial consultation to final installation. We'll help you choose the right sun tunnel type for your space, ensure proper positioning for maximum light capture, and complete the installation with minimal disruption to your home.

Sun Tunnel Options and Installation

Sun tunnels are the best way to bring natural daylight into rooms that have no external wall, such as hallways, bathrooms, utility rooms and walk-in wardrobes. They work by collecting daylight through a small roof dome and reflecting it down a tube to a ceiling diffuser.

Types of sun tunnel

• TWF rigid sun tunnel — gives the brightest light where the roof dome is almost directly above the ceiling
• TWR flexible sun tunnel — works around loft obstacles and timbers, with a slight loss of brightness
• Pitched roof domes — for standard tiled or slate roofs
• Flat roof domes — for flat roof coverings with a small kerb

Key planning considerations

• Tunnel length and bends — shorter, straighter routes give the best light output
• Roof orientation — south-facing domes capture the most daylight, but north-facing still perform well
• Diameter — 35 cm, 45 cm or 60 cm to suit the room size and ceiling height
• Ceiling diffuser position — should be central or where light is most needed
• Diffuser options — standard, electric or solar-powered diffusers for night-time use

We survey the roof, loft and ceiling position before fitting the dome, reflective tube and diffuser. A rigid sun tunnel is the most efficient option when the route is straight. A flexible tunnel is used when the route has to avoid rafters or other obstacles.
