Natural Lighting Why Choose Natural Lighting? Retail Tests have been carried out in stores which are lit mainly by natural means. The most compelling reason for using SUNPIPE systems is to introduce natural daylight to areas that don’t have windows Natural Daylight allows healthier, more productive, happier occupants and reduces carbon emissions The key finding of the study was that natural daylight was found to significantly correlate to higher sales. An average non-daylit retail chain store monitored for this study had 40% higher sales with the addition of Natural Lighting. During the...

SUNPIPE is a Natural Lighting system that maximises the concept of renewable energy by channelling natural daylight from roofs to indoor environments. SUNPIPES create healthier, cost-effective and more productive environments. SUNPIPES are suited to almost any application and have been installed anywhere from residential buildings to the Olympic Handball Arena in London and Falcon Centre in Dubai. SUNPIPE are also designed for optimum efficiency and long working life, offering a 10 year guarantee. How does a SUNPIPE Work? The SUNPIPE system collects daylight using a patented high impact...

SUNPIPE Components Above Roof Components Diamond Dome SUNPIPE As standard we use high impact acrylic in our patented Diamond Domes. Acrylic has the highest light transmittance over other plastics and glass, meaning we can deliver more light into your space. In addition, plastics like polycarbonate are susceptible to severe hazing and discolouration when exposed to UV radiation, causing a lower light transmittance over time and the domes to become unsightly. Below Roof Components SUNPIPE’s Diamond Dome has been independently tested and proven to transmit over 20% more light than our leading...

Technical Performance Additional Components (Optional) U-Value Big Brother House - SUNPIPE SUNPIPE’s U-Value compares favourably alongside a double glazed roof-light. Motorised Light Shut-Off Damper Intumescent Fire Collar Security Bars • 610 mm Extension Lengths and 30o-45o Adjustable Elbows. • LED available in standard fixed white, Circadian (white colour tunable) and Circadian PLUS & RGB (white colour tunable with RGB) light engines. As the actual area of a SUNPIPE is only a small percentage of that of a typical roof-light, the contribution to heat loss from the building or heat gain is...

SUNPIPE Projects Specular Reflectance The specular reflectance of each of the pipes were tested, determining which would perform better for the longest time; • Solatube polymer laminated film’s specular reflectance dropped dramatically when exposed to UV radiation • Monodraught’s SUPER-SILVER mirror‑finish aluminium only experienced a very minor change in reflectance when exposed to direct UV light and negligible performance drop when covered by both Acrylic and Polycarbonate domes Inner light pipe sample Reflectance Reflectance after 1000 before hours ageing (%) artificial ageing (%) If a...

SUNPIPE Projects Sainsbury’s Gloucester Quays Sainsbury’s 50,000 sq. ft. Gloucester Quays ecostore extends the lead taken by the supermarket chain’s Dartmouth store by installing Monodraught SUNPIPE Natural Lighting systems throughout the building. As electricity reduction is a high priority at Gloucester Quays, Sainsbury’s has ensured maximum use of natural daylight by installing a total of 146, 750 mm SUNPIPES in the roof. The British School (Interior Design) Abu Dhabi Originally the Architect wanted a series of free form rooflights, but such is the intense heat of the sun in the Middle...

SUNCATCHER Night Time and Mid-Season Operation During mid-seasons, in the evenings, or at weekends, when the building is perhaps unoccupied, the SUNCATCHER system is not dependent on openable windows or vents in the side of the building, which allows the building to be fully secured. St Paul’s RC School, Burgess Hill - SUNCATCHER With all external windows closed, the Monodraught SUNCATCHER will still continue to operate providing all the benefits of this Natural Ventilation. The Monodraught SUNCATCHER systems are a method of effectively conveying Natural Lighting and Natural Ventilation...
