Hokitika’s lush bush surrounds, coastal climate, and high rainfall often result in dim interiors — even in otherwise open homes. Many properties, from weatherboard villas near the centre of town to rural blocks inland, rely heavily on electric lighting throughout the day, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, and central corridors.
At SunTubes.co.nz, we offer a smarter solution. Our tubular skylights — commonly known as sun tubes — collect available daylight at the roof and deliver it to key interior spaces using reflective, sealed tubing. No power required. No heat loss. No structural changes.
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 frequent overcast days, Hokitika homes often use artificial lights even during daylight hours. Sun tubes reduce energy use by providing free daylight indoors.
Health and Well-being
Access to daylight helps improve mood, visibility, and comfort — especially during long stretches of wet weather.
Sustainability
Our sun tubes are passive and long-lasting — no power needed, no switches or maintenance required.
Architectural Harmony
Low-profile fittings blend with older homes, modest new builds, and everything in between — without interrupting your roofline or interior finish.
Why Sun Tubes Work for Hokitika Homes
Whether you’re near the town centre or tucked further inland, Hokitika’s frequent cloud cover and dense planting often block light from entering internal rooms. Sun tubes deliver light directly into the home’s core — a perfect solution for small, shaded, or older homes.
Versatility
Works with tile, iron, flat, and pitched roofs — ideal for baches, relocatable homes, and traditional builds.
Efficient Lighting
Delivers useful, flicker-free daylight year-round — even in grey conditions.
Easy Installation
Installed in just a few hours — no need for invasive renovation or electrical work.
Cost-Effective
Affordable upfront, and delivers ongoing savings on energy usage and lighting costs.
