Fakro SRL Slate Roof Light Tunnel Tubes

Fakro SRL Slate Roof Light Tunnel Tubes

The Fakro SRL Slate Roof Light Tunnel Tubes provide a practical way to introduce natural daylight into rooms where a conventional roof window or vertical window cannot be installed. By collecting sunlight at roof level and guiding it through the light tunnel, the system helps bring natural illumination into darker areas of a building.

Bring Natural Daylight Into Difficult Spaces

The SRL is particularly useful in rooms where structural obstacles make traditional window installation difficult. Its flexible light-transmitting tube can be routed around obstacles, making it easier to create a path between the roof and ceiling without having to work around every structural element. Sunlight enters the tunnel and is reflected along the walls of the reflective tube before being directed downwards towards the ceiling diffuser. The diffuser then distributes the natural light evenly throughout the room, helping create a brighter and more welcoming interior.

Flexible and Reflective Tube Design

The light tunnel combines a flexible light-transmitting section with a rigid aluminium tube. The rigid section features a reflective silver-based layer that helps reflect and guide daylight through the tunnel towards the diffuser. This combination provides flexibility during installation while helping to direct available natural light into rooms that may otherwise have limited access to daylight.

Suitable for Slate and Other Roof Coverings

The Fakro SRL is supplied with integrated flashing designed for use with a variety of roof coverings, including flat, corrugated, high-profile and slate materials. It is suitable for roof pitches from 15° to 60°, as well as flat roofs, making it suitable for a range of roof configurations and installation requirements.

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.
