Let the daylight in – even in the middle of your home
VELUX sun tunnels are designed to add natural light into rooms where a normal roof window just isn’t possible or appropriate. They capture daylight on your roof and send it through a reflective tunnel, filling your room with soft, natural light that shifts organically throughout the day.
It’s not just about making things look better (though they do). It’s about making your home feel more alive. With less need for artificial lighting, you’ll save energy, and those spaces you used to ignore might just become your new favourites.
Why choose a VELUX sun tunnel?
Choosing VELUX means choosing a brand trusted by homeowners and professionals around the world for over 80 years. Here’s why a VELUX sun tunnel makes such a big difference:
Bring daylight where it’s needed mostSun tunnels are perfect for rooms without direct roof access or side windows. Think hallways, bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, and stairwells. A dark space can suddenly feel open, airy, and full of life with the help from a smartly placed sun tunnel.
Easy and quick to install VELUX sun tunnels are designed for easy installation, often completed within a day. With minimal disruption, you can enjoy the benefits almost immediately.
Save on energyNatural light from your sun tunnel can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, helping you lower your energy consumption and your electricity bills.
Stylish, subtle design The clean, modern look of a VELUX sun tunnel blends seamlessly into your ceiling, offering a minimalist design that doesn’t compromise on style.
Rigid and flexible sun tunnels – which one is right for you?
VELUX offers two main types of sun tunnels to suit different homes and installation needs:
Rigid sun tunnels
If there’s a straight, clear path from your roof to your ceiling, a rigid sun tunnel is ideal. It uses a solid, reflective tube to deliver the maximum amount of light. This is great when you want the brightest possible effect.
Flexible sun tunnels
Got pipes, beams, or other obstacles in the way? No problem. A flexible sun tunnel is designed to navigate around obstructions, making it a great choice for tricky installations. You’ll still get a beautiful flow of natural light, even when space is tight.
VELUX offers sun tunnels designed for both pitched roofs (15°–60°) and flat roofs (0°–15°), with specific models suited to each type of roof. That means there's a solution for almost any type of home.
Sun tunnels for every part of your home
Where can a VELUX sun tunnel make the biggest difference? Just about anywhere:
Even small touches like this can dramatically improve the look, feel, and practicality of your home.
