How to Brighten Up a Dark Space in Your Home with VELUX® Windows or Sun Tunnels

Updated: Aug 6

Every home has those areas that seem to be perpetually shrouded in shadows. Whether it's a dim hallway, a windowless bathroom, or a gloomy attic, dark spaces can feel uninviting and cramped. At Certified Installers Limited, we believe that every corner of your home should be filled with light and life. One of the best ways to achieve this is through the installation of VELUX® windows or sun tunnels. Here’s how these innovative solutions can transform your home.

The Benefits of Natural Light


Natural light is essential for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in your home. It enhances the aesthetic appeal of your interiors, improves your mood, and even has health benefits, such as boosting vitamin D levels and improving sleep patterns. Furthermore, increasing the amount of natural light in your home can help reduce energy costs by minimising the need for artificial lighting during the day.


VELUX® Windows: Bringing the Outside In


VELUX® windows are renowned for their quality and innovative design. They are an excellent choice for brightening up dark spaces, particularly those on upper floors or in roof spaces. Here are some ways VELUX windows can transform your home:


  • Roof Windows: Ideal for loft conversions or rooms with sloping ceilings, VELUX® roof windows bring in an abundance of daylight and provide stunning sky views. They can be installed in various sizes and configurations to suit your needs.


  • Top-Hung Roof Windows: These windows open outwards, providing unobstructed views and maximising the amount of light that enters the room. They are perfect for spaces where you want to create a feeling of openness.


  • Centre-Pivot Roof Windows: These windows are easy to operate, even with furniture placed beneath them. They provide excellent ventilation and are a great option for attics and loft spaces.


  • Flat Roof Windows: If you have a flat roof, VELUX® offers specially designed windows that bring in plenty of natural light. These windows are available in both fixed and vented options, allowing for both light and air circulation.


VELUX® Sun Tunnels: Lighting the Way


For spaces where traditional windows are not an option, such as interior rooms or areas with limited wall space, VELUX® sun tunnels are the perfect solution. These clever devices channel natural light from the roof into the darkest corners of your home. Here’s how they work and why they’re a great choice:


  • How Sun Tunnels Work: Sun tunnels consist of a rooftop dome that captures sunlight and channels it down a reflective tube into a diffuser in your ceiling. This diffuser spreads the light evenly throughout the room.


  • Flexible and Rigid Options: VELUX® offers both flexible and rigid sun tunnels. Flexible tunnels are ideal for shorter distances or where there are obstructions in the way. Rigid tunnels are perfect for longer distances, delivering brighter light over greater distances.


  • Energy Efficient: Sun tunnels provide natural light during the day, reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering your energy bills. They are also designed to be thermally efficient, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.


  • Versatility: Sun tunnels can be installed in virtually any part of your home, from hallways and stairwells to bathrooms and closets. They are an excellent way to bring light into spaces that would otherwise remain dark.
