Sun Tunnels channel sunlight into your home
VELUX Sun Tunnels channel natural light into interior spaces, providing the illumination and health benefits of sunlight but with no energy costs. Sun Tunnels capture sunlight from your rooftop and redirect it down a reflective tube into your home. The tubing fits between rafters and installs easily with no structural modifications. At the ceiling level, an attractive diffuser spreads the light evenly throughout the room.
The installation of a Sun Tunnel is a quick and easy procedure; most installations take under two hours.
