Sun tubes bring soft, natural light into Gore homes — ideal for practical family layouts, heritage villas, and rural Southland builds. Passive daylighting made for everyday living.

Gore is a practical, family-friendly town in Eastern Southland — with a mix of timber villas, 1970s bungalows, and modern rural homes on large sections. While Southland gets good summer sun, Gore’s cooler seasons and deep-roofed home designs often leave interior rooms dark during the day.

At SunTubes.co.nz, we provide tubular skylights — also called sun tubes — that gather natural daylight at your roof and deliver it indoors through sealed, high-reflectivity tubing. No electricity. No switches. Just consistent daylight where your home needs it — especially during Southland’s long winters.

Room-by-Room Benefits

Bedroom

Add natural light to rear-facing or shaded bedrooms — improving comfort without needing extra windows.

Kitchen

Brighten central kitchens — common in Gore’s villas and classic bungalows.

Bathroom

Illuminate internal bathrooms or ensuites — reducing electricity use and creating a more comfortable space.

Hallway

Bring daylight to long, enclosed corridors — common in older homes and rural builds.

Garage / Utility Room

Add daylight to underused or dim workspaces — garages, laundries, or workshops become safer and more inviting.

Hobby Rooms / Sleepouts

Sun tubes are perfect for sheds, creative rooms, and sleepouts — especially where power supply is limited.

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

Cut back on power bills by using passive, natural daylight — especially during shorter Southland days.

Health and Well-being

Natural light improves visibility, comfort, and mood — making everyday tasks easier and spaces more enjoyable.

Sustainability

Fully passive and long-lasting — no wiring, switches, or energy use required.

Architectural Harmony

Works with Gore’s mix of older villas, single-storey homes, and rural properties — discreet both inside and out.

Why Sun Tubes Work for Gore Homes

Gore homes are typically built to retain heat and block out weather — but that often reduces indoor light in rooms like hallways, kitchens, or rear bedrooms. Sun tubes solve this with zero disruption, using sunlight from above to brighten your home naturally.
