Hallways usually aren't the most exciting part of a house. Worse yet, they can even feel dark and unwelcoming with their lack of access to natural light. Which is a shame, because daylight has the ability to turn your home's mundane areas into something truly extraordinary. So, how can you bring sunlight into the darkest corners of your home?
With a skylight, of course!
A skylight can easily transform an otherwise dark hallway into a sun-soaked walkway. So, why don't we see more skylights in hallways? The truth is, most homes don't have hallways wide enough to accommodate traditional skylights. Fortunately, where a traditional skylight won't fit, a Sun Tunnel skylight can be installed to pick up the slack.
With a Sun Tunnel skylight, a roof-mounted, light-collecting dome is used to collect daylight and deliver it to the space below through a tubular shaft with highly reflective interior coating. And with their highly refractive and reflective components, Sun Tunnel skylights efficiently deliver bright, natural light to the space below. Even on a cloudy day, VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylights can provide just as much light as a conventional 60-watt bulb.
Because Sun Tunnel skylights are so easy to maneuver during installation, putting in multiple tunnels at once is a time-saving option that allows you to light up the entire length of your hallway.
With Sun Tunnel skylights, you're able to bring sunlight into your home's darkest spaces. A Sun Tunnels' light-collecting dome can be mounted to almost any type of roofing material, so there's really no excuse not to install a little bit of sunshine in your hallways!
