Sun Tunnels
Sun tunnels are an ideal solution for brightening internal areas where traditional roof windows cannot be installed. They capture daylight from the roof and channel it indoors, helping to transform hallways, staircases, bathrooms and utility rooms with clear, natural light. Sun tunnels are energy-efficient, low-maintenance and suitable for both pitched and flat roof applications.
Sun Tunnel Systems Designed to Brighten Internal Rooms
A sun tunnel directs daylight from outside through a reflective tube, delivering impressive brightness even to areas far from the roofline. These systems are perfect for homes with limited window options, creating well-lit, comfortable spaces without the need for electrical lighting during the day. Their clever design ensures reliable performance in compact, enclosed or awkward areas.
Light Tunnel Options for Hallways, Stairwells and Bathrooms
A light tunnel is engineered to maximise light output using high-reflectivity tubing that channels sunlight deep into the home. This makes it highly effective in spaces such as stairwells, corridors, landings and internal bathrooms. Light tunnels provide a natural, clean light source that enhances visibility and helps reduce energy usage.
Sun Tunnels Built for Efficiency, Durability and All-Weather Performance
Every sun tunnel in our range uses advanced glazing and weather-resistant materials to ensure long-term performance. From insulated roof modules to moisture-resistant tubes and secure seals, these systems are designed to maintain clarity, resist leaks and provide excellent light transfer even on cloudy days. Options for rigid or flexible tunnels allow you to choose the right solution for your roof type and room layout.
Light Tunnel Options for Both Pitched and Flat Roof Installations
Whether your home has a pitched roof or a flat roof extension, a light tunnel can be installed with a tailored flashing kit for a perfect, weatherproof fit. Flat roof configurations often use domed tops to capture maximum daylight, while pitched roof options sit seamlessly within the roofline for a more discreet finish.
Accessories and Upgrades for Better Control and Comfort
Enhance your installation with blackout blinds, diffusers, extension tubes and energy-efficient lens options. These accessories help control brightness, improve insulation and tailor the light output to suit different rooms.
FAQs
Are sun tunnels bright enough for dark areas?
Yes — a sun tunnel can produce a surprising amount of natural light, making it ideal for dark hallways, bathrooms, staircases and internal rooms.
What is the difference between a sun tunnel and a light tunnel?
Both terms refer to the same system. A light tunnel is simply another way to describe a sun tunnel, which channels daylight through a reflective tube.
Do sun tunnels work on cloudy days?
Absolutely. Modern sun tunnels use highly reflective tubing that captures and transfers available daylight, even in overcast conditions.
