Sunpipes

  • 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. Also known as light tunnels, they are 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.

    There are several types available for different applications:

    • Light Tunnel
    • The original Sunpipe system, suitable for most domestic and commercial applications.
    • Square System
    • An alternative design which has lower visual impact in sensitive areas.
    • Conservation Style
    • 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.

    Sunpipes are simple to install, normally within 3 - 4 hours. They fit easily between joists and rafters and need no structural alterations. They do not require maintenance and do not leak. The shape of the top dome makes it self-cleaning and there are no condensation problems. All Sunpipes are guaranteed against faulty manufacture for 10 years.
