Fakro SFS Flat Roof Covering Light Tunnel

Fakro SFS Flat Roof Covering Light Tunnel

The Fakro SFS Flat Roof Covering Light Tunnel is a practical way to bring natural daylight into rooms that cannot accommodate a traditional roof window or vertical window. It helps brighten darker areas of a building by capturing sunlight from the roof and directing it into the room below.

Bring Natural Daylight Into Difficult Spaces

The SFS Light Tunnel is particularly useful for rooms where structural obstacles make conventional roof window installation difficult. Its flexible light-transmitting tube can be routed around obstacles, making it easier to bring daylight into areas that may otherwise rely entirely on artificial lighting. Once sunlight enters the tunnel, it is reflected along the highly reflective tube and directed towards the ceiling diffuser. The diffuser then spreads the natural light evenly throughout the room, creating a brighter and more welcoming interior.

Flexible and Reflective Light Transmission

The system combines a flexible light-transmitting section with a rigid aluminium tube featuring a reflective silver-based layer. This design helps guide daylight efficiently through the tunnel before it reaches the diffuser. The flexible section is especially useful where the installation route needs to avoid structural elements or other obstacles. This provides greater flexibility when planning the light tunnel installation.

Suitable for a Range of Roof Coverings

The Fakro SFS comes with integrated flashing designed for compatibility with a variety of roof coverings, including flat, corrugated, high-profile and slate roofing materials. It is suitable for roof pitches from 15° to 60° as well as flat roofs, providing a versatile solution for introducing natural light into different areas of a building.

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.
