Daylight in the garage with an Intura SunTube light tunnel

Do you have a garage without windows or is there not enough natural light inside? Or do you simply want a bright, pleasant workplace for your DIY and hobby projects? Then installing one or more Intura SunTube daylight tubes is the ideal solution. Natural daylight not only improves comfort and safety in your garage, but also reduces your dependence on artificial lighting. In this article, you can read all about the benefits of extra daylight in your garage and discover how Intura SunTube systems can transform your space.

Why daylight is so important
The garage is often seen as a storage place for cars, bicycles or tools. However, many people also use their garage as a DIY room, hobby room or even a small workshop. In all these cases, good visibility is essential. Daylight improves colour recognition, reduces shadows and creates a more pleasant atmosphere. You can work more precisely and better assess your equipment and materials. In addition, sufficient daylight contributes to a pleasant, safe environment where you can work with more energy and motivation.

The principle of the Intura SunTube light tunnel
An Intura SunTube light tunnel captures natural light rays via a dome on the roof and then directs them towards your garage through a reflective tube. The highly reflective inner wall of the tube minimises light loss, so you benefit from maximum light output. This means that you not only have sufficient bright light during the day, but often also benefit from the last bit of daylight in the early morning or late afternoon. This allows you to work longer in your garage without having to turn on the lights immediately.

Optimal use of small or unfavourable windows
Many garages have small windows that are also close to the ceiling or even completely absent. An Intura SunTube system can offer a solution in precisely these situations. Because the light tunnel is flexible and available in different lengths, it is possible to direct light from a well-lit part of the roof to the garage. This is particularly useful if the garage is adjacent to the house, or if surrounding buildings or trees obstruct the daylight. Thanks to this smart solution, you can create a pleasant and brightly lit workspace even in a previously dark, enclosed space.

Save energy and work sustainably
By installing an Intura SunTube light tunnel, you will be less dependent on artificial lighting during the day. If your garage is used frequently – for example, for DIY, as a hobby room or simply because you walk in and out of it often – you will notice that you can save significantly on your energy costs. What's more, this approach fits in perfectly with a more sustainable lifestyle. You make optimal use of the free and environmentally friendly light source that is the sun, directly contributing to lower CO₂ emissions.

Healthy indoor climate and better atmosphere
A garage with sufficient daylight immediately feels less stuffy and promotes a healthier working environment. Daylight stimulates the production of vitamin D and has a positive effect on your mood. This allows you to work with greater concentration and enjoyment. In addition, natural light makes it easier to identify moisture problems and mould growth, allowing you to take action more quickly if condensation or leaks occur. This contributes to a long-lasting healthy indoor climate.

Easy installation and maintenance
Installing an Intura SunTube light tunnel is usually much less invasive than one might think. An experienced installer can professionally integrate the tunnel into your roof, with a watertight connection so that there is no risk of leaks. Maintenance is minimal: the outside of the dome is usually kept clean by rain and wind, while the inside of the tube retains its reflective capacity thanks to the reflective layer. This allows you to enjoy years of bright light without having to worry about complicated maintenance.

More functionality and potential increase in value
A garage that is well lit with natural light exudes quality and is attractive to future buyers or tenants. Whether you are a car enthusiast, a passionate DIYer or a tool collector, a bright, well-organised space increases ease of use and satisfaction. What's more, investing in light tunnels can pay for itself in the form of an increase in the value of your home, as practical and sustainable improvements are becoming increasingly important in the property market.

With Intura SunTube light tunnels , you can easily bring more daylight into your garage. This allows you to benefit from a better working environment, a more pleasant atmosphere and lower energy costs. Whether you have small windows, no windows at all, or simply want more natural light for your projects, the Intura SunTube is a smart and sustainable choice. Turn your dark, enclosed garage into a well-lit, functional space and experience for yourself how daylight can make a world of difference.

Of course, you can also install a SunTube light tunnel to provide extra daylight in your living room , kitchen , bathroom or bedroom.
