A four way flared shaft, while more complicated to construct, is very effective in spreading the light throughout the room. Perfect for placing above wide windows, it allows one skylight to balance the direct light of the windows and reduce glare.

Why a VELUX GDL Cabrio Balcony?

Much more than just a window!

VELUX CABRIO® balcony windows can dramatically change a room.

They’re the fastest way to add natural light, ventilation and the feeling of openness to your under roof spaces.

The impact in terms of daylight and fresh air, not to mention the view, is stunning.

Why a Top-Hinged Roof Window?

A loft area isn’t complete without a great view of the countryside or city.

When fully open, they give you an uninterrupted view, while the window sash acts as a roof over the opening.

Because the handle is at the bottom, they are simple to open and close, even when installed high up.

And to make cleaning a breeze, the window swivels in its frame for easy access.

Why a Center Pivot Roof Window?

A center-pivot roof window is easy to operate— even with furniture beneath. The innovative top control bar allows you to open, close and ventilate with ease.

You can install the window lower than an equivalent top-hung operated roof window to get an excellent view while standing and when seated.

Works well in rooms with a low ceiling or where you’d like a better view of the surroundings below.

What Is a Curb Mount* SUN TUNNEL?

A curb is simply a wooden box that is built higher than the roof and flashed (sealed) to become part of the roof.

The SUN TUNNEL is then mounted on the curb—much like the lid of a shoe box—and attached from the outside.

*Required for roof slopes LESS than 3/12 (14°).

SUN TUNNEL Light Kit

It's a UL approved energy efficient CFL (26 watts) light fixture designed especially for VELUX SUN TUNNEL's.

Provides light at night and those dark, stormy days we seldom see in Colorado.

Easy to install in an existing switch circuit.

The Typical Sun Tunnel Installation:
