I know how you are all feeling – upset because this is our last instalment of the best-seller blog series! I feel just as sad as you all do - but what’s the point on dwelling on the negatives when you can learn more about our top four sun tunnels!
What is a sun tunnel and how does it work?
Sun tunnels are a way of getting natural light into rooms where it had previously been impossible - i.e. internal bathrooms, corridors, basements and the back of extensions. The sun tunnel is designed to sit on your roof at a slight angle, which allows it to catch the sun’s rays. The light then passes through, either a rigid or flexible tube and through a ceiling diffuser to spread light into your room.
VEW 14" Flexible Sun Tunnel with 3m Flexible Tube
Our VEW 350mm Sun Tunnel with 3m flexible tube is designed with you in mind. Whilst with a sun tunnel you are not able to enjoy a view, we can provide daylight into those rooms where you are not able to get natural light in through a window. Making those rooms lighter and reducing the need for artificial light. We have designed our sun tunnel to offer excellent value for money and to give you more that other sun tunnel providers.
Natural lighting is regarded as a fundamental component in creating a healthy environment, important both at home and in the workplace.
