Why pay to do things wrong when you can do them right for free? That's SunPipe® in a nutshell.
We can pay the utility companies for the electricity we pump through our light bulbs all day or, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuel energy by installing a SunPipe to bring free and brilliant natural light indoors to illuminate our homes and workplaces. Bright, vibrant daylight... the life of the outdoors... brought indoors to light up your day. SunPipes are simply fabulous, if I do say so myself, and I believe they will become standard construction practice because they work so well. Our customers will back up what I'm saying.
Normally, when people want to let daylight indoors, they automatically think of a skylight as the best way to do it. That's been changing since my 80 year old uncle and I invented the daylight pipe 16 years ago. With increasing energy costs, traditional skylights are becoming more and more expensive to put, or for that matter, keep on our roofs because they replace a large area of your roof's R-30 insulation with... a double-pane window. SunPipe does a better job of lighting up you room while preserving 95% of the energy that skylights waste.
A couple years ago I finally found some data I had been looking for. Energyefficientwindows.org compiled data regarding the ongoing cost of skylights relative to a home's heating and cooling energy use. It's an eye opener. $20 per sq. ft. is the average US heating and cooling energy cost that a skylight will cost you, each and every year it's on your roof. That's $250 per year for the average 30x60 skylight. Give it a couple years and it will be $400 per year.
The SunPipe® Challenge:
A) Bring daylight indoors without causing a roof leak, summer heat
gain or winter heat loss,
B) Distribute the daylight evenly throughout the room (without "hot
spots" common to skylights),
C) Be simple to install in 2 to 3 hours (unlike the 2 to 3 days that
skylights take)
The Results:
F) Total success and,
G) The birth of an entirely new daylight-pipe industry.
I have never seen the level of customer satisfaction, indeed, customer enthusiasm, that SunPipe customers exhibit. People that come to work for us are blown away by customers telling them how pleased they are.
If you're looking to brighten up a sun-starved area, and you don't need a view of the sky, SunPipe® is the product for you! During a sunset, with orange clouds overhead, your SunPipe ceiling dome will be orange. At night, with a full moon, you'll have plenty of moonlight to see where you're going.
Thank you for visiting our web site. If you're a customer, thank you for your purchase. If you're considering a SunPipe® purchase, we welcome the opportunity to serve you and to include your name into the growing number of happy SunPipe® customers.
