For adequate daylighting, big commercial buildings require big commercial skylights, right?
Not necessarily.
Even in large warehouses, VELUX Commercial Sun Tunnel® Skylights provide a cost-effective method for transferring daylight through the roof. With their highly reflective silver tunnels - more than 98% total reflectivity (99.9% on silver layer) - Sun Tunnel® Skylights provide clean, bright daylight in a way that reduces energy loads and improves occupants' performance and comfort.

The SunCurve Dome
One of the three domes available on VELUX Sun Tunnels®, the SunCurve Dome was designed specifically to capture daylight all throughout the day, at any angle, maximizing the performance of 22" models. In the morning and afternoon, the SunCurve Dome captures rising and setting, low-angle sunlight and curves it down the tunnel. It's also able to manage the intense, direct mid-day sun so the space below is bright and comfortable without glare.
Tall and Low Profile Domes are also available for commercial sun tunnel projects.
Flexi Loc™ Quick Assembly System
Each VELUX Commercial Sun Tunnel® utilizes the Flexi Loc™ quick assembly system, the only advanced tunnel connection system that cuts tunnel installation time in half. Flexi Loc™ was designed for VELUX Sun Tunnels® to piece elbows, tunnel sections, and other rigid tunnel components together quicker than with conventional screws.
Where to Install VELUX Commercial Sun Tunnels®
Designed for flat or low-slope commercial roofs, VELUX Commercial Sun Tunnels® are perfect above any space that will benefit from daylight. Ideal applications include schools, retail spaces, and warehouses that require a cost-effective daylight solution. Additional cost savings can be achieved with open ceiling applications.
