Commercial 22" Self-flashed Low Profile Sun Tunnel Skylight (TGC) for roof slopes 0 - 60 degrees

Commercial 22" Self-flashed Low Profile Sun Tunnel Skylight (TGC) for roof slopes 0 - 60 degrees

The VELUX Self Flashed TGC Commercial 22” Sun Tunnel Skylight is designed to provide a quick and cost-effective daylight solution for any space where a view to the outside is not needed and is for commercial roof slopes 0 - 60 degrees (20:12).   Commercial tubular skylight systems consist of the following three different systems: the roof top light capture system, the tunnel light transfer system, and the diffuser system. The one-piece pan flashing provides a seamless watertight flashing that positions the daylight capturing area of the tunnel perpendicular to the surface of the roof.  12” turrets are available for insulated flat roofs.  The 22” TGC features a tall acrylic or polycarbonate exterior dome and a VELUX SunCurve to harvest more daylight.  A 14” system is also available.  The highly reflective mirrored rigid tunnel efficiently transfers the daylight to the workspace, and several diffuser options are available to meet the needs of the application: open ceiling, suspended ceiling, and hard ceiling diffusers.  The pivoting tunnel system and adjustable elbows make it easy to navigate complex roof structures or simple straight runs, which makes them quick and easy to install.  Daylight controllers and other accessories make tubular skylights highly configurable to meet your needs.  Please visit our web site or contact our commercial customer service team at 888-878-3589. 

Optional accessories include:

  • Daylight controller and power supplies
  • Energy kits with thermal break
  • Diffusion enhancers
  • Fire bands optional

In addition to the 22” size, there is a 14” size and there are other VELUX Sun Tunnel Flashing systems available for commercial and residential applications.
