What SunPipeŽ Does:

With pipe lengths up to 40 feet, SunPipeŽ delivers the beauty of Natural Light indoors by "piping" it through the roof to illuminate homes, offices, factories, warehouses, restaurants, schools, art studios and more. See benefits of natural light for Seasonal Affective Disorder

What Makes SunPipeŽ Better:
Summer's heat and Winter's cold stay outdoors.
In the summer your home stays cool because only diffuse sunlight enters your home. There is very little heat in diffuse (vs. direct) sunlight.
In the winter your home stays warm because SunPipe's ceiling diffuser is sealed air-tight to your ceiling & keeps heat from escaping.

SunPipeŽ lights-up entire rooms. SunPipeŽ ceiling diffusers spread nature's light evenly throughout the entire room. It performs just like a bright electric ceiling fixture as opposed to a traditional shafted skylight which puts just a "spot of light" on the floor. See Skylight vs. SunPipeŽ

SunPipeŽ is easy to install. SunPipe-9 & SunPipe-13 install between joists and rafters (or trusses) with no framing, no dry walling, no taping, no mudding, and no finishing. Average installation time is 2-4 hours! See SunPipeŽ Installation

SunPipeŽ is maintenance free. The hole in your roof is permanent...your roof flashing and other components better be permanent too! The Sun Pipe Company prides itself on using only the highest quality components, just as we've done since 1991, for the sake of longevity and performance. As with any light fixture, you may need to clean the dome occasionally, but that's it! We really mean "No Maintenance!"

SunPipeŽ doesn't leak. Our exclusive "Super-Flash-300" G-90 galvanized steel roof flashing with rolled seams, plus our galvanized steel storm collar, are industrial-grade components. They will outlast your roof by a factor of 3X, and provide a double barrier against leaks. Don't be mislead by cheap imitations. See SunPipeŽ vs. others

SunPipeŽ pays and pays and pays for itself. Compared to skylights, SunPipes have almost no impact on cooling and heating bills. Add electric-lighting energy savings to the heating/cooling energy savings and your SunPipeŽ actually ends up paying you. See SunPipeŽ savings
