Most Asked Questions

What exactly is a SUN TUNNEL® Skylight?

This type of skylight differs from a more traditional skylight in both its look and functionality. A SUN TUNNEL® Skylight is designed as a cylinder-shaped tunnel that stretches from the outside of your roof to the top of your ceiling. Daylight is captured in the highly reflection tunnel and transmitted as diffused light in your space.

What should I pick,

SUN TUNNEL® or a traditional skylight?

We do love options! What's important is that both a VELUX SUN TUNNEL® Skylight and a VELUX Skylight provide your home with bright, natural light. But there are differences. A traditional skylight is great if you're wanting a window to the outside world, as its clear glass pane opens to sky views. Sun Tunnel® Skylights are a great option if you're looking to bring in natural light to smaller areas that may have limited ceiling space.

Can I change the look of my SUN TUNNEL® Skylight?

Yes, we offer decorative diffusers to change the look and type of light diffusion for your SUN TUNNEL® Skylight. Check them out here! 

My hallway gets really dark at night and during cloudy days, can my SUN TUNNEL® Skylight help fix that?

Yes! Pair your VELUX SUN TUNNEL® Skylight with the VELUX Solar Night Light to give your space a soft, diffused glow when natural light isn't available.

Where should I put my SUN TUNNEL® Skylight?

Knowing where to install your SUN TUNNEL® Skylight has it challenges and depend on certain elements of your home. We know this, which is why we've partnered with certified VELUX skylight professionals who will survey your home and offer you their advice on the best spot for your SUN TUNNEL® Skylight.
