Velux offers a range of options for flat roofs all designed to keep heat loss to a minimum make the most of solar gain and let in natural daylight.
Sun tunnel flat roof.
Velux sun tunnels for flat roofs are designed to provide natural light into corridors stairwells bathrooms and cupboards under flat roofs where installation of a velux roof window is not possible.
Adding a sun tunnel skylight is a cost effective way to add natural light to areas that need a brighter more vibrant appearance.
Sun tunnels or light tubes as they are sometimes known channel daylight into the rooms of your home that don t have windows or don t receive any illumination during the day.
Their low profile design creates a sleek appearance on any roofline and their pre fabricated light tunnel makes them quick and easy to install.
A tile roof requires extra care.
The tunnel consists of a sheet metal tube that has a polished interior and it channels light while preserving the intensity.
They channel sunlight from your roof down a highly reflective tube into the necessary room below.
Velux sun tunnels bring bright natural light into any room of your home with our a velux sun tunnel available for pitched roofs and flat roofs.
Sun tunnels bring daylight through the roof and into the darkest parts of your home with the innovative sun tunnel system.
Flex tunnels can be used when the angle between the roof and the ceiling is too small for a rigid tunnel.
Sun tunnels consist of a roof dome connected to flexible or rigid reflective tubing down to an internal display lighting unit with fittings.
This lighting unit acts as a diffuser which is a device which spreads the light from it s source in this case the sun evenly and minimizes shadows.
The answer is a typical velux 14 rigid tube sun tunnel installation is 949 this project is a good example of an atypical installation for two reasons one the tile roof and two the unusually long distance between the roof and the ceiling below.
Sun tunnels can be installed on a pitched roof or on a flat roof extension to allow daylight to flood the rooms where it s most required.
Sun tunnels also known as sun tubes sun pipes sky tubes solar light tubes and light tunnels are designed to provide natural light into corridors stairwells bathrooms and cupboards under pitched and flat roofs where installation of a roof window is not possible.
There is a diffuser that will allow the light to enter the entire room.
The velux flex tunnels and rigid tunnels provide installation flexibility.
Opening up a flat roof with a skylight or sun tunnel can fill a forgotten space with light transforming a room.
