Velux Sun Tunnel
Heavy gauge aluminum VELUX Sun Tunnel. Most installations in under 90 minutes.
Hi. I’m Rocky Schnaars and I’ve just been shown a great product – it’s the Velux Sun Tunnel. It comes in pretty much one box. The most important thing in that box, of course, are the directions which are very, very well put together and inside the box with the directions are also a couple of other pieces. This is a piece of heavy gauge aluminum, it’s the flashing unit, it’s the top that obviously marries the system on to your roof. There are two elbows that come with it; we have a 16 inch elbow, this is the top elbow. You can manipulate it so that it can bend 22 ½ degrees. The bottom elbow is a 12 inch elbow and this bottom elbow also can go and do 22 ½ degrees. The dome – this is the top of the sun tunnel package. It comes in 3 sizes; 10, 14 and 21 inches. It also comes in impact and non-impact ratings. You do not have to be a roofer to put this system in. The people at Velux have really, really spent a lot of time getting the engineering right and the packaging correct. All of the finish details have been taken care of for you. It goes in quickly (most installs are about 90 minutes). The suggested manufacturer’s retails price is between $225 and $300. The install price is between $500 and $700. That means the hourly rate return is over $100 per hour. It’s a great product, it’s going to make your customers happy and it’s going to be a great income stream for you. This is the perfect space for this application for this wonderful product. What it’s going to do, it’s going to bring natural light through an attic space into this area, which is naturally very dark. I mean, this is a very uncomfortable spot and once the Velux Sun Tunnel goes in we’re going to have natural light in this space. Now we’re going to start this process by putting a small, exploratory hole in here which is going to show us where all of the trusses and all of the framing members are and then we’ll know exactly where to put the Velux Sun Tunnel. So what we’re going to do now it we’re going to go ahead and drill a hole through the roof and then we’ll know where to cut the roof. Now we’re going to mark the inside ring and we’re going to mark is at far up inside the ring as possible and slide that off to the side. (Drills opening, puts down sealant and installs sun tunnel). So again, it’s an easy install, its fast, makes your customers happy, makes their houses nicer – great income stream.
