light tunnel SLT

SEE: SIZES AND PRICES

The SLT light tunnel is a completely new FAKRO product designed to bring ample natural light to every part of a property. It makes it possible to illuminate all rooms in the building, even those which cannot be fitted with roof windows or vertical windows. Dimly lit interiors such as bathrooms, dressing rooms, corridors, staircases or basements can be particularly uncomfortable to use. Thanks to the light tunnel, natural light can now be used throughout a building enhancing the user’s comfort, and saving electricity.

 

The SLT light tunnel channels daylight which enters the light transmitting tube through a dome mounted onto the roof. The sun’s rays are reflected off the walls of the flexible tube on to the light diffuser fitted into an internal ceiling. The diffuser spreads the light, evenly illuminating the whole interior of the room. The light tunnel may also be used at night by installing a light kit.

Features:

  

 

  • light tunnel consists of the following parts: dome, flashing, light transmitting tube, prismatic and transparent diffuser and ceiling frame; 
  • flexible light transmitting tube allows easy fitting around any constructional obstacles therefore reducing the cost and time of installation;  

  • specially prepared flashings guarantee tightness and ease of fitting;

  • light tunnels are suitable for roofs with pitches between 15 - 60 degrees or for flat roofs (available to order);

  • there are two types of flashings available; for flat and profiled roofing materials;

  • light tunnels are covered by a seven-year warranty.

     

     

     


light tunnel SRT

SEE: SIZES AND PRICES

The SRT light tunnel’s main role is the same as the SLT light tunnel’s supplying the interior with the proper amount of natural light. The SRT light tunnel has a rigid light transmitting tube, made of aluminium and covered on its surface with a silver based and light reflective (in 98%) layer. The inside of the tube looks like before mirror. This type of light transmitting tube secures that daylight is conveyed in huge quantities inside the interior. The SRT light tunnel can be used in every kind of buildings, but because of its high effectiveness is recommended to be installed in special building where the daylight is transmitted into long distances e.g. 39' (12 m). The SRT light tunnel can be also used at nights thanks to the light installation kit which performs the function of the lamp.

 

Features:

  

  • light tunnel consists of the following parts: dome, flashing, riged light transmitting tube, elbow, prismatic and transparent diffuser and ceiling frame;

  • silver based and light reflective layer used to convey the light inside the building features the highest (98%) reflective coefficient;

  • angle adjustable elbow (element of the installation kit), gives a possibility to adjust the pitch of tube inclination (between 0 and 65 degrees) and helps to avoid construction obstacles during installation;

  • specially prepared flashings guarantee easy and water tight installation; 

  • suitable for roofs with pitches between 15 and 60 degrees or for flat roof coverings (available to order);

  • there are three types of flashings available; for flat, profiled and high profiled roof coverings.

     

     


light tunnels' flashings for SLT

LIGHT TUNNELS’ FLASHINGS

Light Tunnel Flashing SLS is suitable for flat roof coverings up to 3/8" (10 mm: 2 layers x 5 mm) thickness e.g. tiles, shingles, slates. SLZ flashing is applied to roof coverings with a profile depth of up to 1 3/4" (45 mm) such as: tiles, profile metal sheeting. SLH flashing is used for fitting light tunnels with profiled roof coverings with a profile depth of up to 3 1/2" (90 mm) e.g. roof tile, high profile metal sheeting.

ACCESSORIES FOR LIGHT TUNNELS

SLM light transmitting tube extension kit. The kit consists of: connecting ring, light transmitting tube 4' (120 cm) element, adhesive tape. The light transmitting tube has other lengths available to order, but they have to be calculated as multiplicities of  1' (30 cm)  e.g. 2', 3', 4',  (60 cm, 90 cm, 90 cm,120 cm).

SLC hanger is used when an overall light transmitting tube is longer then 4m. The hangers are used in order to take part of the tube’s weight and to prevent it from tearing off from the light tunnel’s flashing. Applying SLC hanger eliminates the need to use the extension kit SLM. Only part of the light transmitting tube has to be purchased.

SLO light kit is applied as an alternative source of illumination at nightfall. Light kit is installed inside the light tunnel. All SLT Light tunnel elements come with 7 years guarantee period.

SRT Light tunnel tube elements come with 25 years guarantee and the rest with 7 years guarantee period.


Flat roof system

Light tunnels are very often used in flat roofs. To install SRT or SLT light tunnel properly, the installation of SFP insulation base with SLP flashing is advised.
