Sun Tunnel or Conventional Skylight?

​

Sun tunnels are ideal where space, roof framing or budget makes conventional skylight installation difficult. For larger rooms, a view of the sky or natural ventilation, a conventional skylight may be a better choice.

Independent Advice from Auckland Skylights

​

We know with all the sun tunnels we have installed over 30 plus years, that not all sun tunnels perform equally or suit the decor of your house. We also consider roof orientation, shading, collector technology, tube length and installation requirements to help you select the right solution. The best sun tunnel isn't necessarily the biggest or most expensive, it's the one best suited to your home.
