What are Sun Tube Skylights
Suntrenz sun tubes are designed to provide an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to brighten up any space with natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting and saving on energy bills.
Our sun tubes are made from premium materials that are built to last, ensuring durability and longevity. With our state-of-the-art design, our sun tubes capture sunlight from your roof and transport it through a highly reflective tube, bringing sunlight to even the darkest corners of your home or office.
Whether it's a gloomy hallway, a dim basement, or a poorly lit bathroom, Suntrenz sun tubes will flood your space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
How Does a Sun Tube Skylight Work
Sunlight enters the sun tube dome. The UV stabilized, high impact, acrylic dome has a very high light transmittance allowing more of light to enter into the tube.
Sunlight is reflected through the sun tube's mirror-like tube. The sunlight then reflects down a highly reflective mirror like tube, connecting the roof to the ceiling.
The high reflection of the tube means the performance is still very efficient, even during times when available sunlight is reduced such as early morning, late afternoon and during overcast conditions.
The sun tube diffuser then evenly disperses the sunlight into the building. The sunlight that has reflected down the tube then passes through two layers of textured acrylic, which have been specifically designed to spread the light evenly around the room. These diffusers also have a very high light transmittance allowing more of light to pass through them.

Suntrenz Sun Tube Skylights come with a 10 Year Manufacturer's Warranty
"We had a suntube fitted in our ‘dark, centre of house’ kitchen and what a transformation!
So light we think we have left light switched on!
The estimator, fitters and office girls who kept us up with the play are professional and friendly.
For a very reasonable charge our recently bought house has been transformed. How the previous owners could live in the dark for 18 years I’ll never know."

Certain factors like sunny or cloudy days will affect the overall performance and light output
Does heat come through a Suntrenz sun tube tubular skylight?
Minimal heat will enter through the Suntrenz sun tube, as the unit is double glazed at ceiling level. It also has the dome at roof level, reducing heat transmittance, and none of the tubing components hold heat. Therefore, there will be no additional heat load on the building. In fact, compared to electrical lighting, or traditional skylights, the temperatures are significantly lower.
Will my Suntrenz sun tube leak?
No. The Suntrenz sun tube is watertight and guaranteed against leaking. Your installer or dealer will guarantee the installation against any leaking. As part of the testing for Australian Standard AS4285 and Beal Appraisal (NZ), the Suntrenz sun tube was subjected to winds of 16 metres per second and water spray of 3 litres per second. Any water penetration is a failure. Suntrenz sun tube passed this and all other tests in AS4285 and Beal Appraisal (NZ)
What warranty will my Suntrenz sun tube skylight have?
The Suntrenz sun tube includes a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty.
Will my furniture and carpet fade if I install a Suntrenz sun tube skylight?
The Plexiglass Dome and Acrylic Diffuser blocks out harmful sun rays and won't discolour carpet or furniture.
Can I turn off or dim my Suntrenz sun tube skylight?
Yes. If you install the Vari-light (Dimmer), the Suntrenz sun tube can be opened & closed or varied to your requirements.
Is security an issue with the Suntrenz solartube?
Our experience has shown us that the Suntrenz sun tube is not used as a method of entering a secure building. There is a normally far easier and safer point of entry, with most crimes being opportunistic.
