Hamilton & GTA Sun Tunnel Installation

Harness Natural Light with An Innovative Solution

Sun tunnels, also known as solar tubes or light tunnels, are devices designed to bring natural light into spaces where traditional windows or skylights may not be practical. These innovative tubular skylights utilize a highly reflective tube to capture sunlight from the roof and deliver it deep into your home or commercial building, illuminating even the darkest corners with bright, natural light.

Key features and benefits of sun tunnels include:

Natural Daylighting

Sun tunnels capture sunlight from the rooftop and channel it indoors, providing a constant source of natural light throughout the day. Enjoy the benefits of daylighting in areas that would otherwise rely solely on artificial lighting.

Energy Efficiency

By reducing the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, sun tunnels help lower energy consumption and utility costs. With energy-efficient designs and optional integrated LED lighting, you can illuminate your space while minimizing environmental impact.

Versatility

Sun tunnels are versatile lighting solutions suitable for a wide range of applications, including hallways, bathrooms, closets, stairwells, and even commercial spaces. Wherever you need natural light, sun tunnels can deliver.

Space-Saving Design

Sun tunnels require minimal roof space and can be installed in tight or confined areas where conventional windows or skylights may not be feasible. Their compact design makes them ideal for retrofitting into existing structures.
