Improving indoor natural lighting can give the illusion of a larger interior and brighten the mood inside your home. One way to do that would be to install a sun tunnel, which is easier to install than a skylight. Sun tunnels capture light through their acrylic dome, magnify it, and then disperses it in parts of your home that need lighting.
Done-Right Roofing & Sheet Metal Ltd., your trusted residential and flat roofing contractor, lists the best areas spots in your home to install a sun tunnel:
1. Hallways
Poor lighting and inadequate design can make hallways look and feel cramped. One way to remedy this problem is to install a sun tunnel, which can help brighten your hallways.
2. Stairs
Does someone always forget to turn off the lights near the stairs? An easy solution would be to install a sun tunnel, which can provide lighting without increasing your electricity bill.
3. Bathrooms
A sun tunnel is a more practical alternative to bathroom windows (which can lower the level of your privacy) if you want to improve the lighting in your bathroom.
Here’s a tip: to make sure sunlight is distributed evenly throughout your bathroom, you can strategically place several mirrors that can reflect light off each other.
4. Mudrooms
Every mudroom (a dedicated space for storing muddy boots and wet school bags) should have overhead lighting (which a sun tunnel can provide) as well as task lighting.
VELUX Sun Tunnels® has a low-profile design that complements a wide variety of designs, can be installed within an afternoon, and come with a 20-year tunnel warranty. To make sure your sun tunnel is installed correctly, only experienced residential and metal roofing contractors should handle their installation.
