The Use of Flexible Tubing in Sun Tunnel® Skylights.
One of the key components in The Sun Tunnel Skylight system is its fully patented, flexible,
reflective tubing. This tubing is similar in structural design to the tubing used for many decades in the heating and air conditioning industry and can be found in commercial businesses, high-rise buildings, hospitals, schools, and residential homes throughout North America and many other parts of the world.
Sun Tunnel has taken this time-proven technology for channeling heat and cold, and added a space-age U.V.-proof liner to the inside in order to channel sunlight efficiently through attics to dark rooms all over the world.
The clear dome on the roof is made from almost totally U.V. resistant materials, eliminating harmful U.V. rays before they can even reach the tubing, guaranteeing that the flexible tube will perform for many years to come. This flexible tubing makes The Sun Tunnel by far the most "user friendly" and easy-to-install tubular skylight on the market today. The ability to flex around almost any attic obstruction without the need for expensive elbows or extensions means that Sun Tunnel Skylights can be efficiently and economically installed in places no other skylight can reach. Naturally, the shorter, tighter and straighter you install the tubing, the better the performance, but Sun Tunnel Skylights are installed every week in hard-to-reach areas, sometimes with 90-degree bends in the tubing, and are still performing adequately. Sun Tunnels are now also offered with rigid tubing as well as models with high impact domes to meet building requirements in hurricane prone coastal regions.
Sun Tunnel has had a strong U.S. patent on its flexible tubing since the beginning of their operations here in 1993 and is now owned by VELUX®, and is therefore the only company offering this beneficial feature with its skylights.
The new 22" diameter Sun Tunnel is the largest tubular skylight on the market today and will brighten the largest rooms in your home. Just like the tubing used in the other models, Sun Tunnel's 22" flexible tube passes all ignition, flammability and smoke density testing requirements necessary to meet National Building Codes standards across the United States. We invite you to compare our Sun Tunnels for brightness, ease-of-installation, and flexibility against any tubular skylight on the market. We think you'll like Sun Tunnel's quality, customer service and honesty.
