The Mornington Challenge

Heritage Charm. Dark Interiors.

Mornington's Federation cottages and period homes are full of character, but compact layouts and internal bathrooms rarely see natural light. A VELUX Sun Tunnel solves this without touching a wall.

Which Type Is Right For You?

Rigid vs Flexible Sun Tunnels

Rigid Sun Tunnel

Straight-line installation
Best For Clear, unobstructed roof cavities with a direct path from roof to ceiling
Light Maximum output, no loss through the straight tube
Ideal Home Newer prestige builds with clean ceiling voids

Flexible Sun Tunnel

Navigates obstacles
Best For Complex cavities with trusses typical of Peninsula cottages and holiday homes
Light Slightly lower per bend, still highly effective
Ideal Home Period homes, holiday homes, and weatherboard construction
