Velux Sun Tunnels in Yorkshire
VELUX sun tunnels for pitched roofs are a brilliant way to bring natural light into spaces you thought were impossible to brighten. Perfect for windowless areas like bathrooms, hallways, and cupboards, sun tunnels capture daylight from above and guide it through the loft space into rooms where traditional VELUX roof windows aren’t feasible or practical.
These sun tunnels use a highly reflective interior, available in both flexible and rigid designs, to channel light efficiently. The flexible tunnel is an excellent choice for shorter distances between the roof and ceiling, ranging from 0.4 to 1.5 meters. For longer distances, the rigid tunnel offers a sturdy solution, accommodating between 0.9 and 1.7 meters, with the potential to extend up to 6 meters using additional sections.
By choosing a VELUX sun tunnel with Yorkshire Roof Windows, you can transform dim, enclosed spaces into bright, welcoming areas using innovative and effective daylight solutions.
Velux Trained Installers for Sun Tunnels
Installing a sun tunnel involves creating an opening from your roof down to the ceiling. A light tube is fitted into this opening with a dome on the roof and a diffuser on the ceiling end. The diffuser effectively spreads daylight into the room, creating a welcoming and well-lit space.
Yorkshire Roof Windows offers both rigid sun tunnels for straight passage and flexible ones for when obstacles like beams block a direct route. This means you don’t have to worry about obstructions; we have a solution for almost every situation.

How Do Sun Tunnels Work?
Sun tunnels capture sunlight from outside and direct it into darker rooms. They feature an external panel on your roof that reflects sunlight into a perfectly designed tunnel, which can reflect up to 98% of natural light into your home. A diffuser at the end of the tube distributes the light evenly throughout the room.
Sun tunnels are ideal for lofts, bathrooms, or any room where a traditional roof window isn’t possible. With VELUX sun tunnels, even the darkest corners of your home can be transformed into bright, inviting spaces.
The Cost Benefits of Sun Tunnels
Besides enhancing the lighting in your home, sun tunnels can reduce your reliance on artificial lights, potentially lowering your energy bills over time.
