Product catalog summary
Introduction to SUNPIPE Systems
SUNPIPE systems are designed to deliver natural daylight into indoor spaces using a super-reflective tube with an internal mirror finish. This system can extend through adjustable bends and provides evenly diffused light through a ceiling fixture, even on cloudy days. It is beneficial for health and helps combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Specifications and Features
  • The SUNPIPE Diamond features flat diamond-shaped facets and vertical prisms to concentrate and capture sunlight effectively.
  • Research from the University of Nottingham shows varying light output depending on weather conditions, with a 300mm diameter SUNPIPE providing significant light equivalent to electric lighting.
  • The system is designed to prevent heat loss or solar gain, ensuring an even spread of natural light.
  • Available in various sizes to suit different area requirements, with a 6% light output drop per meter and a 12% reduction per elbow used.
Installation and Maintenance
  • Installation is straightforward, typically requiring few fixings and taking 3-4 hours.
  • The system is self-cleaning, condense-free, and requires no structural alterations or maintenance.
  • It is virtually burglar-proof and vandal-resistant.
Additional Features
  • Optional halogen light fittings for nighttime use, designed not to affect natural light output.
  • Solar-powered ventilation options are available, providing energy-free natural ventilation.
  • Systems are guaranteed for 10 years and can save up to 8kg of CO2 emissions annually compared to typical mains-powered fans.
Applications and Variants
  • Suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, toilets, shower rooms, and small offices.
  • Available in different sizes and designs, including the Sirocco and Mistral models, which combine natural daylight with ventilation.
