Not every room has the roof space or layout needed for a traditional skylight. Fortunately, there is another excellent way to bring natural daylight into your home: a sun tunnel.
VELUX Sun Tunnels are designed to capture sunlight on the roof and direct it through a highly reflective tunnel into the room below. For many homeowners, they are an ideal solution for spaces that need more daylight without the size or complexity of a traditional skylight.
What Is a Sun Tunnel?
A sun tunnel, sometimes called a solar tube or tubular skylight, consists of a rooftop collector, a reflective tunnel, and a diffuser that distributes natural light into the room.
The system channels sunlight from the roof into areas that may otherwise depend heavily on electric lighting.
Perfect for Smaller or Interior Spaces
Sun tunnels are especially useful in areas such as:
- Hallways
- Walk-in closets
- Bathrooms
- Laundry rooms
- Interior kitchens
- Stairways
- Home offices
- Entryways
These spaces often have little or no access to conventional windows.
Brighten Your Home Naturally
Even a relatively small sun tunnel can make a noticeable difference in a dark space. Instead of turning on a light every time you enter a hallway or bathroom during daylight hours, you can take advantage of the natural light available outside.
Sun tunnels can help create a brighter and more welcoming atmosphere throughout your home.
A Great Alternative When a Skylight Isn’t Practical
One of the biggest advantages of a sun tunnel is its flexibility. The tunnel can often be routed around attic obstacles and other structural considerations, allowing natural light to reach rooms where a traditional skylight may not be practical.
That makes sun tunnels an excellent option for homeowners who want daylight but have limited roof or ceiling space.
