VELUX Introduces the Sun Tunnel Skylight Shade

    FORT MILL, SC, June 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- VELUX America is introducing a manual blackout shade for its Sun Tunnel tubular skylights.

The new accessory utilizes magnets on the top, or non-visible side, of the ceiling diffuser trim ring. When the magnets are in place and the trim ring is reinstalled, a white, fabric-covered disk with a metal outer ring is attached to the diffuser trim ring. The center of the disk has a fitting that connects to a two-piece, 26.5" rod, which is inserted into the fitting and used to attach and remove the accessory shade disk.

The accessory kit (ZTB designation) is available for use on 10" and 14" trim rings and is expected to retail for approximately $xxx (or a range depending on size).

Stephan Moyon, Director of Sales, says that Sun Tunnel skylights are perfect for any room where a view to the outside is not needed or where glass skylights may not be an option such as hallways, closets, stairways, bathrooms and laundry rooms. "The addition of the easy-to-operate shade, which installs in minutes, makes these units even more attractive as sources of natural light, especially on bright days when more subdued lighting is desired," Moyon says.

VELUX Sun Tunnel skylights are available in sizes from 14" to 21" with rigid tunnels or flexible tunnels which easily bend around attic obstructions for quick and convenient installation.
