Skylight installation in Mordialloc
Two VELUX TWR 0K14 rigid Sun Tunnels were installed to bring balanced natural light into a single-storey living area, with a clean ceiling finish and integrated roof installation.
Project summary
Two discreet daylight points for a Mordialloc living area
This completed Mordialloc skylight installation used rigid, highly reflective VELUX Sun Tunnels to carry daylight from the tiled pitched roof into the open-plan living space below.
The completed result
Natural light delivered where the room needed it
The two round ceiling diffusers sit neatly across the living area, spreading daylight into the room without taking over the ceiling design. The result is practical, balanced and visually quiet.
- Two 350 mm diameter VELUX rigid Sun Tunnels
- Highly reflective 1650 mm rigid shafts
- Single-storey installation through a tiled pitched roof
- Integrated roof components and finished ceiling diffusers
Before and after
A clearer, brighter living space
The photos show the same open-plan living area before the work and after both Sun Tunnel diffusers were completed. The pre-installation image includes the marked ceiling positions used during planning.

Why this job matters
Daylight without a large roof window
Sun Tunnels are useful where the goal is to brighten a room without adding a full-size skylight. A rigid reflective shaft transfers daylight from the roof to a compact ceiling diffuser, making it a practical option when roof space and room layout allow a clear path.
For this Mordialloc home, a pair of units provided a more even spread of light across the living area than a single point would have offered.

Sun Tunnel installation in Mordialloc
What was installed in this Mordialloc home?
Two VELUX TWR 0K14 rigid Sun Tunnels were supplied and installed in the single-storey living area. Each unit uses a 350 mm diameter, 1650 mm highly reflective rigid shaft.
Are Sun Tunnels suitable for living areas?
They can be. Suitability depends on room size, roof pitch, ceiling position and a workable route through the roof cavity. This project used two units to distribute daylight more evenly across the open-plan space.
Can a Sun Tunnel be installed through a tiled roof?
Yes, subject to site conditions and product requirements. The completed roof photos on this project show both units integrated with the existing tile roof.
How do I know whether to choose a skylight or a Sun Tunnel?
A full skylight is often chosen for a larger daylight opening or sky view. A Sun Tunnel is a more compact daylight solution. Central Skylights can inspect the room and roof space before recommending the most practical option.
Does Central Skylights service Mordialloc?
Yes. Mordialloc is included in Central Skylights’ Melbourne service area, together with nearby suburbs such as Parkdale, Aspendale, Braeside, Mentone and Waterways.
