Paraparaumu, nestled on the Kāpiti Coast, features a mix of family homes, low-set bungalows, retirement dwellings, and modern subdivisions. With frequent sunshine and calm sea breezes, it’s an ideal setting for passive lighting. Yet many homes still experience dark internal areas due to deep eaves, privacy fencing, or single-level layouts.
At SunTubes.co.nz, we provide a smarter daylighting solution. Our tubular skylights — known as sun tubes — capture sunlight from your roof and deliver it to underlit rooms like hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms. With NZ-made components and local installer support, we deliver performance that fits Paraparaumu’s laid-back lifestyle.
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
With Paraparaumu’s long sunshine hours, sun tubes provide a natural way to reduce reliance on electric lighting.
Health and Well-being
Natural light supports alertness and wellbeing — perfect for retirees, families, and home workers alike.
Sustainability
Zero-power lighting that aligns with the growing local focus on sustainable, low-impact living.
Architectural Harmony
Our systems suit the coastal, low-profile architecture typical of Paraparaumu’s residential areas.
Why Sun Tubes Work for Smaller or Shaded Spaces
Many Paraparaumu homes are single-storey with enclosed courtyards or shaded by neighbouring structures. Sun tubes work around these limitations to bring light inside.
Versatility
Compatible with iron, tile, and flat roofs — including those in retirement villages or lifestyle blocks.
Efficient Lighting
Delivers bright, usable daylight with no overheating or glare.
Easy Installation
Most projects are completed in a single day, with minimal disruption.
Cost-Effective
A smart alternative to traditional skylights or lighting rewires.
