From the terraced homes of Newtown to the compact apartments of Te Aro and bungalows in Karori, many Wellington properties struggle with limited natural light. The region’s steep terrain, tight sections, and unpredictable weather can leave rooms gloomy — even during daylight hours.
Room-by-Room Benefits
Why Choose Sun Tubes?
Sun Tubes represent the pinnacle of natural lighting solutions, offering a myriad of benefits that extend beyond simple illumination:
Energy Efficiency
Wellington homes often rely on artificial light even during the day. Our sun tubes reduce daily energy usage by harnessing available daylight — even in overcast conditions.
Health and Well-being
Sunlight supports mental clarity and well-being, offering a welcome boost in Wellington’s often cloud-covered climate.
Sustainability
Our passive lighting systems operate without electricity. By choosing NZ-made components and reducing power use, you contribute to a greener future.
Architectural Harmony
Whether you’re renovating a weatherboard villa in Mt Victoria or updating a new-build in Churton Park, our low-profile designs complement a wide range of Wellington architecture.
Why Sun Tubes Work for Smaller Spaces
In many Wellington suburbs where homes are compact, set into hillsides, or shaded by neighbouring buildings, sun tubes are an ideal solution.
Versatility
Easily installed in pitched or flat roofs, including iron, tile, and membrane roofs.
Efficient Lighting
Delivers consistent daylight from roof to room, bypassing obstructions that block traditional skylights or windows.
Easy Installation
Most installs are completed within a day with minimal disruption — ideal for Wellington’s tight access sites.
Cost-Effective
A practical alternative to major renovations or electrical upgrades, offering long-term savings.
