We are installers of Velux Sun Tunnels, velux sun tunnels can be installed in most roofs
and bring light to parts of the home that is not posible with a standard window or even a Velux window. Sun Tunnels
can efectively carry light for up to 6 metres meaning a Sun Tunnel can often be fitted on a south, east or west facing roof
slope for more effective light improvement. We have displayed a few of the Sun Tunnels we have installed since Velux brought

Velux sun tunnel lighting is a very practical and cost effective way of bringing natural light to a dark room where a conventional Velux window is not possible.

cost effective option to brighten up a dark room. Velux are just 1 of many sun tube manufactures, sun tubes are
attached straight to the flat roof or roof slope, sun tubes come with all types of flashing to match any tile, when the sun
tube light collector has been fitted to the roof a sun tube reflective tube will carry the light to the ceiling of the room
requiring more light, on the ceiling we fit a sun tube light defuser to give the light collected in the sun tube a softer
effect, please see the picture above of a sun tube working in a shower room.

What is a sun tunnel?A sun tunnel lets you bring daylight into rooms where you normally don't have windows. The product penetrates from roof to ceiling, channeling natural light from the outside into windowless rooms. Rooms with limited possibility for a traditional roof window, and rooms, you can otherwise only light up with artificial lighting. If you have a bathroom with no windows, a dark corridor or dull wardrobe space, you can benefit from a sun tunnel. They are available for both flat roofs pitched from 0 - 15° or for sloped roofs with a pitch between 15 and 60°. A sun tunnel is a cost-effective way to bring daylight into dark rooms. It is also called a light tube, and it is very easy and quick to install. In most cases it will take a few hours to get everything in place.

Everything you need to know about VELUX CABRIO
Guide: Roof Windows
VELUX CABRIO balcony windows are a little confusing as they're both a window and a balcony. Since they are both, do you need planning permission? These types of statement pieces are increasingly seen on penthouse apartments and now in loft conversions and self-builds too. You'd be surprised that the prices aren't that lofty though! We've put together this guide to tell you everything you need to know about VELUX CABRIO balconies and answer any questions you might have.
Table of contents:
- What is VELUX CABRIO?
- Where can you install VELUX CABRIO?
- Do you need planning permission for VELUX CABRIO?
- What are the benefits of VELUX CABRIO?
- What finishes are available for VELUX CABRIO?
- What sizes do VELUX CABRIO balconies come in?
What is VELUX CABRIO?
VELUX CABRIO is a roof window that transforms into a balcony. Two sections of this roof window perform different functions so that when the window is opened it turns into a balcony space that an adult can stand in without crouching or watching their head. A top hung window opens the top half of the window, swinging open 90 degrees before locking in that position. The bottom window pushes open to produce side railings and a glazed balcony, as in the image to the right.
Each VELUX CABRIO offers a beautiful, chic and modern balcony space when open and it's quite the statement piece. When
the window is closed the two large glass panes offer plenty of daylight to your space and it will no doubt become a talking
point. When you purchase a VELUX CABRIO, you purchase the entire system, including flashings and support trimmers.
Where can you install VELUX CABRIO?
The most common roof pitch in the UK is 45 degrees, and other roof pitches tend to only vary a small bit. With this in mind, VELUX manufactured the VELUX CABRIO to be suited to roof pitches from 35 degrees to 53 degrees. VELUX CABRIO is suited to tile and slate roofs too, in a combination of sizes and internal colour finishes.
Do you need planning permission for VELUX CABRIO?
Under Permitted Development rules you're not allowed to build any kind of balcony, veranda or terrace without planning permission. It's unfortunate as the lines could be blurred between whether VELUX CABRIO is a window or a balcony system but it's probably not worth the gamble, especially if the balcony is to look over someone else's property.
There are other elements of your project that may require planning permission and as such it's important to disclose the presence of VELUX CABRIO as the Planning Officer will want to know the location and height of windows. If you need planning permission for a loft conversion and your development is not Permitted Development then you need full permission for the window too.
What are the benefits of VELUX CABRIO?
VELUX CABRIO is put together with toughened glazing on the outer pane and the inner pane to ensure that safety is a high priority. You get the stunning design and daylight with no compromise on safety. The other benefits of VELUX CABRIO include:
- Brings more outside space and light into the building.
- Adds value to a property.
- Easy-to-clean glazing.
- Top-hung windows can open to 180 degrees for easier cleaning and further-reaching views.
- Other top-hung or fixed windows can be added to create a larger or customised glazed space.
What finishes are available for VELUX CABRIO?
VELUX CABRIO balcony systems are manufactured from high-quality and sustainable natural pine at their core. When you decide to purchase one you get to choose between a natural pine appearance on the inside of the window or a white-painted interior. This gives total freedom over how you incorporate the window into the room and whether it's a focal point or cleverly blended into the background.
VELUX CABRIO balconies come with the flashings required to weatherproof the area around which they're installed. These flashings have to be different for slate and for tile so you'll need to pick which of these you need. Once this decision is made you can choose between a single, double, or triple appearance window like the image below.
What sizes do VELUX CABRIO balconies come in?
There are 2 widths available for each set-up of VELUX CABRIO. Single, double and triple variations each offer two widths compatible with tile or slate. Each VELUX CABRIO is 252cm in height. The option of widths that VELUX gives you is to ensure that their balcony systems will fit into more roof space without compromising on style or design.
