VELUX sun tunnels for darker rooms and internal spaces.
Natural daylight solutions for hallways, bathrooms, landings, corridors and internal rooms where a traditional roof window may not be suitable.
Bring natural light into spaces that do not suit a standard roof window.
Some areas of a home can feel dark even during the day. Hallways, landings, bathrooms, corridors and internal rooms may not have the right roof position, wall space or layout for a traditional window.
VELUX sun tunnels are designed to help channel daylight from the roof into darker spaces. AR Windows can help you understand whether a sun tunnel is suitable for your property and how it may fit alongside wider roof window improvements.
Ideal for darker areas that need natural daylight.
Sun tunnels can be especially useful where a full roof window is not possible or where the goal is to improve daylight rather than ventilation or views.
Hallways
Brighten enclosed entrance halls and passageways that rely heavily on artificial lighting.
Landings
Bring daylight into stairwells and upstairs landing areas that can otherwise feel dark.
Bathrooms
Add natural light to bathrooms, shower rooms or cloakrooms where privacy or wall layout limits window options.
Corridors
Improve long or enclosed corridors with daylight from above.
Internal rooms
Support spaces that sit away from external walls and have limited access to natural light.
Utility spaces
Make practical areas feel brighter and easier to use during the day.
A practical way to improve daylight without a standard roof window.
Sun tunnels are designed for situations where you want more daylight, but do not necessarily need a window that opens, provides a view or changes the room layout.
More natural light
Brighten darker spaces that currently depend on artificial lighting.
Useful in tight spaces
Suitable for areas where a traditional roof window may not be practical.
Improved feel
Make enclosed rooms, corridors and landings feel lighter and more welcoming.
Simple purpose
Focus on daylight where ventilation and views are not the main priority.
Choosing the right daylight solution.
The best option depends on the room, roof position, ceiling layout and whether you need light only, or light plus ventilation and a view.
A sun tunnel may be suitable when
A sun tunnel is often a good fit where the main aim is to bring daylight into a darker internal space.
- The room is dark but does not need a view
- Ventilation is not the main priority
- The space is internal, enclosed or narrow
- A standard roof window may not suit the layout
A roof window may be better when
A VELUX roof window may be more suitable if you want daylight, ventilation, views and a larger opening.
- You want a window that opens
- You want views as well as daylight
- The room needs ventilation
- The roof and room layout suit a full roof window
