Monodraught SUNPIPE Catalogue

The Monodraught SUNPIPE is a natural daylight system designed to bring sunlight into a home or building from roof level, making it particularly useful in areas where conventional windows cannot reach.

How the SUNPIPE works

The energy-free SUNPIPE collects daylight using a patented Diamond dome and channels it through a silverised mirror-finish aluminium tube, which reflects the natural daylight down into the room or area below. The light is then evenly distributed by a translucent ceiling diffuser.

It remains effective in sunny, overcast and rainy conditions, and is compatible with many building designs. The Diamond dome and diffuser also seal the system against the ingress of rain, dust and insects.

Flexible installation

There is virtually no limit to the length of SUNPIPE or the number of bends that can be used, allowing it to twist and turn to take natural light to exactly where it is needed. The system fits easily between joists and rafters and is manufactured in a wide range of diameters.

• SUNPIPE systems carry CE certification.
• No structural alterations required, easily fits between joists and rafters.
• The top dome is self-cleaning due to its shape.
• Vandal-proof dome.
• Few fixings are required, with a normal single fixing at the base of the system.
• Can normally be installed in two or three hours, with a nationwide installation service also available.

Comfort and wellbeing benefits

Compared against a rooflight, a SUNPIPE eliminates glare, significantly reduces heat gains in summer and minimises heat losses in winter. The natural daylight it provides also helps combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) conditions. All SUNPIPE systems are guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture.
