Monodraught ‘SunPipe’
Sun pipe
This system maximises the concept of renewable energy by reflecting and intensifying sunlight and even normal daylight, down through a pure silver base mirror-finish aluminium tube.
A clear UV stabilised polycarbonate top dome seals the light pipe against the ingress of dust and a clear stipple finish or plain opal polycarbonate diffuser at ceiling level evenly spreads light into the room or space below. The SunPipe system is highly effective in both sunny and overcast conditions and even when it is raining.
There is virtually no limit to the length of SunPipe or the number of bends that can be used and the SunPipe carries a 25 year guarantee with a life expectancy of 35 years'
