Sun Tunnels
Our unique VELUX Sun Tunnels go all the way from the Roof to the Ceiling
Every room in your home deserves to be filled with natural light—even those in the center of your home. Unlike traditional windows, the VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight can be installed within an afternoon, making it one of the fastest and most inexpensive ways to transform your home with natural light.
Adding a Sun Tunnel® Skylight is a cost-effective way to add natural light to areas that need a brighter, more vibrant appearance. Their low-profile design creates a sleek appearance on any roofline, and their pre-fabricated light tunnel makes them quick and easy to install. Not to mention, they come with a 20-year tunnel warranty.
Flexible tunnels are recommended when installation around obstacles within the loft space is required. They are the easiest product to install because of the maneuverability of the material.
Rigid tunnels are recommended when there is a straight, unobstructed path from the roof to the ceiling, although they can be maneuvered slightly.
From start to finish, it only takes about 90 minutes to install a VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight.
First, your installer will go into the attic to check rafter locations, take measurements, and mark off where the ceiling and roof holes will go.
Up on the roof, your installer will cut a hole and install the top collar, the upper portion of the tunnel, lens, and flashing.
Back inside, your installer will cut a hole in the ceiling and install the lower portion of the reflective tunnel to connect the two holes and seal the tunnel seams. Next, they’ll install the diffuser and trim ring in the ceiling.
Then, if the sun is out, your new light will be on!
