Monodraught Sunpipes
Monodraught Sunpipe

The Sunpipe is a revolutionary new way to pipe natural daylight from your rooftop into your home - to brighten areas from dawn to dusk where daylight from windows cannot reach.

SunPipe's energy free, super reflective tube even extends through adjustable bends and has an internal mirror finish that intensifies and reflects natural daylight delivering free outdoor light to a room or area below - where the light is evenly diffused by a translucent ceiling fixture.

  • 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.
  • Joints are sealed using aluminium tape.
  • Can normally be installed in two or three hours.
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.

The 9" (230mm) Diamond Dome

The 12" (300mm) Diamond Dome

The most popular size for residential properties, suitable for Kitchens, Bathroooms Studies, Living Rooms and Landings. To light up an area of approx. 14 sq. metres (150 sq. ft.

The Square Sunpipe

The SQUARE SunPipe system is ideally suited to an application where there is a normal flat ceiling to the room, as opposed to a typical loft conversion, where a normal rooflight can be used.  The highly reflective aluminium SunPipe tube reflects and intensifies sunlight and normal daylight into the room below.  The light is spread evenly by the patented recessed SunPipe diffuser, without glare and eliminating heat transfer.

The Monodraught Square SunPipe has been specifically developed to provide an unobtrusive termination for any roof finish. The Square SunPipe is in addition to SunPipe's range of Diamond, hemispherical and Conservation SunPipes and is initially produced as standard in a 600 x 600mm nominal format which includes an adaptor to fit to any of the following circular SunPipe systems:

9" (230mm) Diameter,
12" (300mm) Diameter,
18" (450mm) Diameter,
21" (530mm) Diameter.

Designed to the highest standards the Square SunPipe is constructed to the highest specification with 2mm thick CR4 Steel, zinc plated to 25 microns and polyester powder coated to 75 microns to a range of colours.

Conservation Sunpipes
Conservation Sunpipe fitted into roofs

The Conservation SunPipe has been designed to replicate a Victorian cast iron rooflight, and fits virtually flush with the roofline of a pitched roof building. This makes it a very unobtrusive termination for the SunPipe.

The Monodraught Conservation SunPipe has been developed to answer the problem encountered in many Conservation areas, where the roofs of listed buildings are required to retain their original lines and often a normal skylight or roof light is not allowed.

Rooflight to SunPipe

The rooflight includes an adaptor to fit the circular SunPipe, which reflects natural daylight down into the area below. The SunPipe reflects and intensifies sunlight and natural daylight and the ceiling diffuser creates an even spread of light into the room.

Specification

The Conservation SunPipe roof light frame measures 665 x 875mm with a glass area of 440 x 625mm. A highly reflective rectangular adapter inside reduces the size to 375 x 537mm and this is connected to a rectangular to circular transition unit to suit a SunPipe tube. The system can fit both 12" (300mm) and 18" (450mm) SunPipe tubes. The SunPipe adjustable elbows enable the system to fit any angle of roof pitch.

The Conservation SunPipe system is ideally suited to an application where there is a normal flat ceiling to the room, as opposed to a typical loft conversion, where a normal roof light can be used the highly reflective aluminium SunPipe tube reflects and intensifies sunlight and normal daylight into the room below. The light is spread evenly by the patented recessed SunPipe diffuser.
