HOW MUCH WILL YOUR SUN TUNNEL COST?
Sun tunnel installation can cost between $900 to $2000 depending on the steepness and height of your roof and the type of frame of your home. This cost does not include any new drywall, paint, or alterations to the home’s frame that may be involved.
When choosing a sun tunnel, it’s essential to consider factors such as the desired light output, the flexibility of installation, the presence of additional features (such as solar panels or ventilation), and the aesthetic preferences of the homeowner.
TYPES OF SUN TUNNELS:
- Rigid: Rigid sun tunnels use a straight, rigid tube to transfer natural light from the roof to the interior space. The rigid design helps maintain the integrity of the light path, minimizing light loss.
- Fixed: Flexible sun tunnels use a highly reflective, flexible tube to transmit sunlight from the roof to the interior. The flexibility allows for greater versatility in routing around obstacles or through tight spaces.
- Flat-Glass Sun Tunnels: Some sun tunnels use a flat, low-profile glass lens on the roof instead of a domed skylight.
- Adjustable or Articulating Sun Tunnels: Adjustable sun tunnels allow for fine-tuning the direction of the light tube. This feature is beneficial in installations where the roof angle or interior layout requires precise adjustment.
