VELUX Sun Tunnels & Tubular Skylights
VELUX Sun Tunnel tubular skylights pipe free daylight into hallways, bathrooms, and dark rooms, often installed in a single day.
Discover how Sun Tunnels can revolutionize your St. George, Ivins, or Washington home or business by bringing natural light to even the darkest spaces. A Sun Tunnel, also known as a tubular skylight, channels daylight from a small dome on the roof through a highly reflective tunnel into the room below.
Unlike traditional windows or skylights, a Sun Tunnel needs no structural framing, drywall shaft, or paint work, which is why most installations are finished in a day. It is the fastest, most affordable way to put real daylight into hallways, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and walk-in closets.
Three models, one goal: daylight where you need it
The TGR low-profile model hugs the roofline and is the most popular choice on tile and shingle roofs across Washington County. The TMR high-profile dome captures more low-angle light in mornings, evenings, and winter. The TZR flat-glass model trades the dome for tempered glass and the cleanest curb appeal.
All three come in 10-inch and 14-inch sizes. As a rule of thumb, a 10-inch tunnel suits hallways and closets while a 14-inch tunnel carries a bathroom, laundry room, or kitchen corner.
Naturally brighten your home
Installing Sun Tunnels not only makes your living spaces naturally lighter and more inviting, it also contributes to energy savings by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Natural light has been shown to improve mood and productivity, making your home a more pleasant place to live.
Add-ons extend what a Sun Tunnel can do: a light kit turns the same ceiling opening into a night-time fixture, and a daylight controller adds a wall switch that dims the incoming light on demand.
Installed by the team VELUX trained
We partner with VELUX, the leader in the skylight industry, and install Sun Tunnels the way they were engineered to go in, including adjustable elbows to route around attic obstacles. You get the benefit of natural light without holes in your roof to worry about.

Common questions
How much does skylight installation cost in St. George?
It depends on the model, roof type, and interior finish work, so we quote every project after a free in-home consultation. You get a clear, flat quote before any work starts. Call us at (435) 772-6137 for current pricing on any accessory or add-on.
What is the difference between a sun tunnel and a skylight?
A skylight is a framed window in the roof with a direct view of the sky. A Sun Tunnel is a smaller rooftop dome that channels daylight through a highly reflective tube into rooms below. Sun Tunnels install faster, cost less, and fit hallways, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and closets where a full skylight won't.
How long does installation take?
Most sun tunnel installations and single skylight replacements are completed in one day. Larger projects, like multiple units or new openings in a finished ceiling, can take longer, and we tell you exactly what to expect in your quote.
Is there still a federal tax credit for solar-powered skylights?
No. The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit ended for installations completed after December 31, 2025, so new installations no longer qualify. If any state or utility incentives apply to your project, we will flag them during your consultation.
Where can a sun tunnel be installed?
Almost anywhere with attic space between the roof and ceiling: hallways, bathrooms, laundry rooms, walk-in closets, kitchens, and pantries are the most common. Adjustable elbows let us route the tunnel around attic obstacles to put light exactly where you want it.
