Fakro SFL Slate Roof Light Tunnel Tubes

Fakro SFL Slate Roof Light Tunnel Tubes

The Fakro SFL Slate Roof Light Tunnel Tubes provide an effective way to bring natural daylight into rooms where a traditional roof window or vertical window cannot be installed. By capturing sunlight at roof level and guiding it into the room below, the system helps make darker interior spaces feel brighter and more inviting.

Bring Natural Light Into Difficult Spaces

The SFL is particularly useful in rooms where structural obstacles make conventional window installation impractical. Its flexible light-transmitting tube can be routed around obstacles, allowing daylight to reach areas that may otherwise have little or no access to natural light. Once sunlight enters the tunnel, it is reflected along the walls of the reflective tube and directed towards the ceiling diffuser. The diffuser then spreads the natural light evenly throughout the room for a more comfortable and naturally illuminated space.

Reflective Light-Transmitting Construction

The light tunnel combines a flexible light-transmitting section with a rigid aluminium tube. The rigid section features a reflective silver-based layer designed to reflect and guide daylight through the tunnel towards the diffuser. This combination provides flexibility during installation while helping to make efficient use of the available natural light entering through the roof.

Designed for Slate Roof Coverings

The Fakro SFL is supplied with integrated flashing designed for a range of roof coverings, including flat, corrugated, high-profile and slate materials. This makes it suitable for different roof constructions while providing a practical connection between the roof and light tunnel. The system is suitable for roof pitches from 15° to 60°, as well as flat roofs, offering flexibility for a variety of installation situations.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
