Select the Sun Tunnel™ that's right for you


Selecting the right Sun Tunnel tubular skylight is easy.

Step 1 - Flashing Profile

First, start with the position of the skylight on your roof. If that section of the roof faces °South, select a low profile unit that will blend into the roof profile. If the roof faces North, use a pitched flashing unit to maximise the light obtained through the skylight.

Pitched Flashing

Low Profile Flashing

  • Excellent at gathering light from
    all directions
  • Best for north-facing roofs
  • Provides straighter tunnel run
    through many roof pitches
  • Best for south-facing roofs
  • Dome aligned parallel to roofline

 

Step 2 - Tunnel Type

Next, take a look in the attic where the Sun Tunnel will be installed. If there is a clear run between the ceiling and the roof, then select a rigid tube model for maximum light transmission. If there are some obstructions that you need to route the tube around, select a flexible tube - there will be a slight reduction in light transmission, but the installation will be much easier.

Rigid Tunnel

Flexible Tunnel

  • 98% reflectivity
  • Excellent for long runs
  • Excellent for areas with less
    sunlight (eg north-facing roofs)
  • Excellent for ease and speed of installation
  • Easily bends around obstructions
  • Great for sunny areas

 

Step 3 - Model Selection

Having determined the flashing profile and tube type, you can now select the model of the skylight you're going to install. The table below shows the sizes available for each combination of flashing and tube types. Click the model number for pricing and options.
