There is a range of Suntile tiles to choose from that will fit many modern and traditional roofs.
If you don't see a roof tile that fits your roof, do let us know as more Suntiles are in development.
Each Suntile is available in one of two kits:
- a Quick Kit if you want to light an attic
- a Basic Kit if you want to light a loft conversion or rooms below the roof space
Each kit comes with fixings, and a light diffuser and frame that fit in the ceiling of the room to be lit.
If you want to pipe the daylight from the roof into a room below the roof space you will also need an Extension Kit (essentially a mirrored light duct). There are also two Extension Kits from which to choose - a Short or Long kit - depending on how far you need to duct the light.
Suntile features:
- Suntiles can transmit the equivalent light to a thousand watt light bulb or a one metre square window.
- It is estimated that one Suntile will save you nearly £60 a year in electricity (based on 3.5 hrs a day usage) - approximately 390kwh of energy per year (based on electricity unit price being 15p per kilowatt)
- If the sunlight comes in at the same angle as the roof, it is eight times stronger than if it was to come in through a window.
- The Extension Kit's ducting is made from twin walled polypropylene that is internally coated with a super reflective finish.
- Daylight channelled through an Extension Kit is intensified by its mirrored walls. Even on gloomy, overcast days, Suntiles can produce adequate light.
- Suntile's unique roof tile-shaped design allows an uninterrupted roofline that is virtually unseen from outside. This allows planning authorities to consider their use even on listed buildings.
- Suntile tiles are made from UV stable, impact resistant polycarbonate.
- The Suntile Extension Kits are 9 inches square (approx 240mm x 240mm).
- The ceiling diffuser is made from UV stabilized ABS plastic and is fitted with a light diffusing lens.
- Suntile is one of the most affordable products of its kind on the market.
- All Suntile components are manufactured in the UK.
