The Bay of Plenty’s coastal climate and high sunshine hours make it ideal for passive daylighting — yet many homes across the region still rely on artificial light in internal areas. Whether you’re in a beachside property in Papamoa, a brick home in Rotorua, or a lifestyle block near Te Puke, shaded bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways are common.
At SunTubes.co.nz, we help homeowners make the most of the region’s natural light. Our tubular skylights — also called sun tubes — collect daylight from the roof and channel it through sealed, highly reflective tubes into your living space. With NZ-made products and a trusted network of local installers, we offer a simple, effective way to brighten your home across the entire Bay of Plenty.
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
Sun tubes reduce reliance on lights during the day — ideal for regions like the Bay of Plenty with long daylight hours and rising energy costs.
Health and Well-being
Access to natural light improves mood, alertness, and comfort — especially in internal or low-light spaces.
Sustainability
Our systems are passive, electricity-free, and made from durable NZ materials — a natural match for eco-conscious homeowners.
Architectural Harmony
Our fittings suit a wide range of homes — from Tauranga’s modern developments to Rotorua’s family homes and beach baches in Ōhope or Pukehina.
Why Sun Tubes Work for the Bay of Plenty
Many Bay of Plenty homes are built for shade and airflow — with deep eaves, high fences, or internalised layouts that limit light. Sun tubes work around these constraints by directing light from your roof straight into darkened areas.
Versatility
Compatible with iron, tile, and low-pitch roofs — suitable for both coastal homes and inland suburbs.
Efficient Lighting
Sun tubes deliver consistent daylight, even in overcast or tree-shaded conditions — without overheating the room.
Easy Installation
Most systems are installed in a single day — with no structural changes required.
Cost-Effective
More affordable than traditional skylights and lower long-term energy use.
