VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylights are engineered to illuminate every corner of your home with natural light (subject to certain limitations).

Installing a VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight is a hassle-free process, irrespective of your roof’s configuration, making it a convenient lighting solution for any home.

Why choose a Velux Sun Tunnel?

In essence, a sun tunnel serves as a fantastic alternative to traditional skylights. It brings natural light into spaces like rooms, staircases, or hallways where light may be lacking. Thanks to its sleek and straightforward design, a Sun Tunnel can be installed in nearly any area of your home. This not only enhances the ambiance of your living spaces but also reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day, leading to potential energy savings.

How does a Velux Sun Tunnel function?

Velux Sun Tunnels are engineered for efficiency and simplicity in installation. The system comprises a rigid pipe designed to reflect light from the roof to the ceiling, ensuring optimal distribution of sunlight throughout the room.

This innovative design maximizes the amount of natural light entering your home while minimizing heat transfer, maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. The addition of a metal frame and acrylic dome on the roof provides durability and weatherproofing, ensuring long-term performance and protection against the elements.

Furthermore, a finishing plate and trim for your ceiling not only complete the aesthetic appeal but also enhance the amplification of natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
