SunTubes – Tubular Daylighting
Intura SunTube is the light tunnel for flat roofs, sloping roofs or facades. The Intura SunTube tubular daylighting system is a light tunnel that transports daylight to any room in a home, office or commercial space.A major advantage of this tubular light tunnel is that it comes standard with a crystal glass dome (dimensions Ø25 and Ø35 cm) and is available in three popular versions: Intura SunTube25 with a Ø25, Intura SunTube35 with a Ø35 and Intura SunTube55 with a Ø55. |  | |
 | Crystal glass domeThe dome of an Intura SunTube is made of crystal glass as standard, which makes it quiet, strong and self-cleaning. In addition, crystal glass does not yellow and algae or dirt will not adhere to it, so there will be no loss of light over the years. These daylight tube sets are easy to install on flat roofs, for example, thanks to the pre-assembled roof covering. Choose your basic set with EPDM, bitumen or PVC. For pitched roofs, a Leadax (artificial lead) collar is provided as standard. The Intura SunTube tubular daylight system is a light tunnel that transports daylight to every room in a home, office or commercial space. | |
SunTube basic set for flat and pitched roofs
This basic set for flat roofs contains everything you need for installation if your roof is no thicker than 41 cm (or 61 cm in combination with the insulation element), measured from the top of the roof covering to the bottom of the ceiling. |
|  |
 | ExtensionsA light tunnel is a system that uses reflection to let daylight into a building. The advantage of this system is that it only requires a small opening in the roof, compared to a dome or flat roof window, for example. The Intura SunTube light tunnel has a crystal glass dome and mirror tubes that transport more light into the building than direct daylight from a dome, for example.

In many situations, a SunTube is the most efficient daylight solution. Flat roof windows and skylights are typically chosen when larger daylight openings or visual contact with the outside are required.
Top 6 SunTube – FAQ
1. What is a SunTube?
A sun tube (also called a light tunnel or tubular daylight device) transports natural daylight from the roof into interior spaces using a highly reflective tube.
2. When is a SunTube the best daylight solution?
Sun tubes are ideal for smaller or enclosed spaces such as bathrooms, corridors and stairwells, especially where traditional roof windows are not possible.
3. How much daylight does a SunTube provide?
Despite their compact size, sun tubes can deliver a surprisingly high amount of daylight and often replace artificial lighting during daytime.
4. Can a SunTube be installed on flat and pitched roofs?
Yes. Sun tubes are suitable for both flat and pitched roofs, using dedicated roof domes or flashings for a watertight installation.
5. What is the difference between a SunTube and a skylight?
A sun tube transports daylight through a reflective tube and is ideal for smaller spaces, while a skylight creates a larger roof opening and offers direct views outside.
6. Do SunTubes cause heat loss or overheating?
Modern sun tubes are well insulated and designed to minimise heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
7. How does the EcoPower insulation element improve thermal performance?
The EcoPower insulation element improves the U-value of the daylight tube by adding PIR insulation and high-performance glazing to the diffuser section. See below:
Thermal performance
| System | Without insulation | Double glazing | Triple glazing |
|---|---|---|---|
| SunTube25 | 2.44 W/m²K | 0.93 W/m²K | 0.70 W/m²K |
| SunTube35 | 2.63 W/m²K | 0.94 W/m²K | 0.69 W/m²K |
| SunTube55 | 2.70 W/m²K | 0.91 W/m²K | 0.65 W/m²K |
