Sun Tunnel Installations: Bringing Natural Sunlight Into Your Home
06/05/2015
A few weeks ago, we wrote a blog about the great benefits skylights can bring to your home. They are great for providing your home with ventilation and lots of daylight. They can also be energy efficient and save you money, not forgetting the great privacy properties they bring to your home. Although these are a great investment, sun tunnels are equally good, especially if you have a room in your home which struggles to gain any natural daylight.
What is a sun tunnel?
A lot of you may be wondering what a sun tunnel is, but these are one the fastest and most cost effective methods of providing a room with natural daylight. Each tunnel directs sunlight or ambient light into a diffuser which you position on your ceiling, dispersing light into your desired room. They are very versatile and a simple way of introducing light into your home.
The Benefits of Sun Tunnels
- They are easy to install and our experienced roofers will ensure your sun tunnel is installed and sealed with no damage to the roof membrane, providing you with a sun tunnel that will last for many years.
- Sun tunnels are very versatile as they can be fitted to even the smallest of rooms and provide a fountain of light. They are also very cost effective too, saving you money.
- When it comes to being environmentally friendly, sun tunnels are great for this. Research shows there is no heat loss associated with having a sun tunnel installed in your roof. They also don’t gain heat either meaning you won’t feel uncomfortable from a hot room or have to manage it by opening windows or using an air-conditioner.
- Although a sun tunnel is placed on your roof, we want to dispel any myths that intruders can use these as a route into your home. They are designed for light to enter a home not humans, so you can be rest assured you are safe and secure with having sun tunnels installed.
