How do you get three times
as much light out of a Velux Sun Tunnel?
New to velux is the 400mm
diameter Rigid Shaft SUN TUNNEL skylight that retains the same look as all other Velux Skylights from the outside.
The Velux Rigid Sun Tunnel...
- Three times as
much light as the flexible shaft version
- Inexpensive natural
light source for cupboards, hallways, toilets and other small areas without
natural light
- Toughened glass
to the outside
- No scratching,
discolouring or leaking
- Long Life (comes
complete with 7 year warranty)
- Twin difuser
blocks out heat
- Floods an area
up to 9m2 in natural light
- Easy installation
on roofs with pitches of 15 to 60 degrees
- Sits flat on
the roof (unlike the traditional bubble type tubular skylights).
...and they look great too!!
The SUN TUNNEL can be installed
quickly, making it the easiest tubular product to install in the industry. It
has mirror finish stainless steel rings just below the dome and just below the
ceiling ring and a highly reflective rigid shaft to reflect light from all angles.
Please note: Light transmittance of Velux Sun Tunnels
depends on paramterers such as sky conditions (cloudy/sunny), the direction
of sunlight, orientation and length of the Sun Tunnel shaft. Velux Sun Tunnels
in this chart have been tested with a 1m shaft, on a 15 degree pitched roof
in summer, at noon on a sunny day using a photometer. (TWR rigid Sun Tunnel
emits 440 lumens when measured on a cloudy winter day).
^The
graph features 60% of total lumen value for these light sources - allowing for
light absorption when mounted in a lamp or fixture. (Lumen values represent
an average for Australian manufactured products). *Data source: Velux Daylight

The
velux Sun Tunnel is the only tubular skylight on the market with a 4mm Toughened
Glass roof unit - not an acrylic dome.
Velux SUN TUNNEL skylights are ideal for smaller rooms such as closets, hallways,
laundry rooms and second baths. You can now add natural light to places you
thought were impossible.
Dome
The low flat profile of the Velux SUN TUNNEL skylight dome design parallels
the roof slope for an attractive appearance.
Dual Diffuser
The Velux SUN TUNNEL skylight features a flat toughened glass top and double
pane diffuser that eliminates the unsightly situation of shadowing caused by
dead bugs gathering on the inside of the diffuser, plus reduces the chance of
condensation, while providing even light distribution without hot spots.
Integrated
Flashing System
An integrated flashing system ensures that the Velux SUN TUNNEL skylight remains
weathertight:
 |
- One-piece design
fits most roof types
- Polypropelene
base with vertical collar avoids any joints at the roofline
|
Easy Installation
Installation of the Velux SUN TUNNEL skylight is quick, easy and can be completed
in just two hours with only basic carpentry skills required. This means minimal
time is needed in the attic.
