Sun Tunnels for Natural Light

Benefits of sun tunnels include:

  • Increased natural lighting

  • Minimal roof penetration

  • Energy-efficient design

  • Reduced need for artificial lighting

Sun tunnels are installed with the same care and weatherproofing as full skylights.

Exterior components must be installed with snow load, ice buildup, and freeze-thaw cycles in mind. Our approach considers:

  • Roof slope and drainage patterns

  • Snow and ice movement

  • Proper flashing and sealing
