Whether you live in Apex, Cary, Pittsboro, or nearby, VELUX Sun Tunnel skylights offer a fast, elegant way to bring natural light into your home. At Artisan Quality Roofing, our certified VELUX installers specialize in turning dark spaces—closets, hallways, bathrooms—into bright, welcoming retreats.
How VELUX Sun Tunnels Work
A small dome on the roof captures sunlight, then channels it down a reflective tunnel. The light exits through a low-profile ceiling diffuser—no need for exterior walls or traditional skylight framing.
