Tubular daylighting device
DOMESTIC SUNPIPE Monodraught Limited

The Monodraught SUNPIPE® natural daylight system directs sunlight into a room from roof level, particularly useful in areas where windows cannot reach. The energy free SUNPIPE collects daylight using a patented Diamond dome and has silverised mirror-finish aluminium tube that reflects the natural daylight down into the room or area below. The light is then evenly diffused by a translucent ceiling diffuser.

The SUNPIPE is effective in sunny, overcast, and rainy conditions, and is compatible with many building designs. The Diamond dome and diffuser also seals the SUNPIPE from the ingress of rain, dust, and insects.

There is virtually no limit to the length of SUNPIPE or number of bends that can be used and the SUNPIPE can twist and turn easily to take natural light to exactly where you want it.

When compared against a rooflight, a SUNPIPE eliminates glare, significantly reduces heat gains in the summer, and minimises heat losses in the winter. The SUNPIPE is manufactured in a wide range of diameters.

The advantages of the system are:-

* No structural alterations required, easily fits between joists and rafters.
* No maintenance required and will not leak.
* Top dome is self-cleaning due to its shape and eliminates condensation problems.
* All SUNPIPE systems are guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture.
* Few fixings are required, normal single fixing at base of system.
* Natural daylight helps combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) conditions.
* Can normally be installed in two or three hours.
