Sun tunnels

Sun tunnels provide a practical way to bring natural light into areas without direct window access. They use a reflective tube to channel daylight from a roof-mounted dome into interior spaces. You might commonly find them in plans for loft conversions, extensions, and renovations where traditional windows or rooflights aren’t suitable. Historically, similar concepts have been used in architecture, such as light wells in older buildings. Today, modern sun tunnel designs improve efficiency, with options like rigid and flexible tubes to suit different roof types.

If you're fitting a Velux sun tunnel or another brand, it's important to choose the right type for your project. Rigid sun tunnels work well for longer runs with fewer bends, while flexible options are easier to install in tight spaces. Whether you're working on a domestic or commercial build, they offer a straightforward way to improve daylighting.
