Sun tubes bring soft, natural light into Te Puke homes — perfect for lifestyle blocks, modern builds, and family homes with deep floorplans. Passive daylighting built for Bay of Plenty living.

Known as the Kiwifruit capital of New Zealand, Te Puke offers a blend of spacious rural properties, family homes, and new subdivisions. Whether you’re on a lifestyle block or living close to the town centre, it’s common for internal rooms like bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways to lack adequate daylight — especially in long, single-level homes or builds surrounded by fencing or vegetation.

At SunTubes.co.nz, we offer tubular skylights designed for New Zealand homes — also known as sun tubes — that capture daylight from the roof and deliver it directly indoors using sealed, highly reflective tubing. No switches. No wiring. Just consistent, clean daylight all day long.

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 electricity use by bringing daylight into rooms that would otherwise require lighting during the day.

Health and Well-being

Daylight supports comfort, visibility, and general wellbeing — great for busy family homes or remote work.

Sustainability

100% passive and maintenance-free — no power required, and no environmental impact.

Architectural Harmony

Blends easily into Te Puke’s range of home styles — from modern family homes to rural weatherboard builds.

Why Sun Tubes Work for Te Puke Homes

Many homes in Te Puke are designed for comfort and insulation, which can limit natural light in key interior rooms. Add in deep verandas, tall hedges, and fencing — and certain areas stay dark even during daylight hours. Sun tubes fix this with roof-mounted daylight collectors that work in all weather conditions.
