Brighten Your Home Naturally with VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylights and Shades

At Next Dimension, we’re always looking for innovative ways to improve your home’s comfort, beauty, and efficiency. One of the most effective—yet often overlooked—ways to transform your space is by bringing more natural light into it. Enter the VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight: a smart, energy-efficient solution designed to brighten up even the darkest areas of your home.

And now, with VELUX shades, you can take that natural light experience to the next level—adding control, comfort, and style to your daylighting solution.

What Is a Sun Tunnel® Skylight?

Unlike traditional skylights that require direct roof-to-room installation, VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylights use a highly reflective, flexible or rigid tunnel to channel daylight from your roof into interior spaces that don’t typically get much sunlight—like hallways, bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, or interior kitchens.

The result? A beautifully lit space that feels bigger, more inviting, and more connected to the outdoors—all without the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Why Add VELUX Shades?

Natural light is wonderful, but there are moments when you might want to soften, dim, or completely block it. That’s where VELUX shades come in. Designed specifically for VELUX skylights, these shades give you full control over the amount and quality of light entering your home.

• Light Control: Easily adjust brightness for any time of day or activity.
• Privacy: Perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any space where you want more seclusion.
• Energy Efficiency: Keep rooms cooler on hot Florida afternoons and retain warmth during cooler months.
• Style Options: Available in a variety of fabrics and colors to match your interior décor.

Whether you want a subtle softening of sunlight or complete blackout for a midday nap, VELUX shades make your skylight adaptable to your lifestyle.

Energy Efficiency
More natural light during the day means less reliance on electric lighting—and with shades, you can optimize indoor temperature and comfort, too.
