Sun Tunnel Tubular Skylights

(also known as Sun Tubes. Tube Skylights or Solar Tubes)

Where traditional windows and skylights are not an option, adding a Sun Tunnel skylight can be a cost-effective way to bring more natural light into the heart of your home.

Sun Tunnels are a lot easier to install than you might think. In just 90 minutes, your contractor will simply cut a hole into the roof from outside your home, and another hole in your ceiling from inside; a flexible or rigid reflective tunnel will then be inserted to connect the holes. The tunnel is highly reflective, so bright, clear sunlight streams into the room below. And Sun Tunnels are super-efficient, as they cost nothing to operate—you’ll have light as long as the sun’s in the sky (and, if you add the optional solar night-light kit, you’ll have light at night, too)—and a new VELUX Sun Tunnel can be installed for as little as $550.

Read on to see how a VELUX Sun Tunnel skylight can transform any interior space in your home.

What to consider before adding a skylight

Hallways and stairwells are often afterthoughts in home design, but they offer a unique opportunity to become interesting focal points. VELUX skylights are optimal for catching light from all angles, and paired with a VELUX Sun Tunnel skylight in the darker alcove, they create a sense of airiness and space.
