Sun tubes bring soft, energy-free daylight into Katikati homes — perfect for lifestyle blocks, artist studios, and family homes with shaded interiors. Natural daylighting that complements rural and creative living.

Katikati is a charming town on the edge of the Bay of Plenty — known for its vibrant art scene, retirement-friendly community, and mix of modern homes and older bungalows. Many houses in the area feature long floorplans, deep verandas, or compact footprints, often resulting in internal rooms with limited access to daylight.

At SunTubes.co.nz, we offer NZ-made tubular skylights — also called sun tubes — that gather daylight from your roof and channel it indoors using sealed, reflective tubing. No wiring. No power bills. Just clean, natural daylight delivered where it’s needed most.

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

Reduce your dependence on electric lighting by using free, natural light throughout the day.

Health and Well-being

Daylight supports comfort, mood, and visibility — a subtle but powerful way to improve your home environment.

Sustainability

100% passive and NZ-made — no moving parts, no electricity, and no maintenance required.

Architectural Harmony

Sun tubes suit a wide range of Katikati home styles — from character bungalows to eco-conscious lifestyle homes.

Why Sun Tubes Work for Katikati Homes

Many homes in Katikati are designed for privacy, insulation, or outlook — which often leaves internal rooms dark or reliant on lights, even during the day. Sun tubes solve this by capturing overhead daylight and delivering it to central rooms without altering your home’s structure.
