Their pics are awesome,and they have ROUGH things to say about their
competitors.They show you WHY their product is Superior.

Maybe more money, but clearly worth the price.


Sounds nice, but I"d prefer that evaluation to come from someone a little
more independant then another manufacturer.

In any case, how much do the SunPipe's cost in comparison to the
Lowes/HomeDepot/Menards ones?

The price depends on how many extension tubes you need to use to extend
the tube thru the roof,what kind of diffuser you want, what diameter
pipe you want to use, is the ceiling a cathedral ceiling or not, do you
need a steep roof kit or not, do you need an elbow, do you want an
electric light in it for night time use????

13" Sunpipe is $279
2ft lengths of extender are $55
4ft lengths of extender are $95


You will need one or more lengths of the extender pipe to reach from
ceiling to roof. Average install uses about 5 feet

Call this roughly $350, more if you need more pipe, more if you want a
wider angle diffuser, more if you have a steep roof(above 8:12),more if
you need an elbow.

More light is delivered thru SunPipe than competitors. Maintenance will
be far less with SunPipe.

The web site is very informative. Go look at the pictures.

Pure silver is used, polished aluminum has 1/10 the output. Some MFGs
use silver foil or aluminum foil in a UV reactive plastic sleeve.
Silver is why this costs more

Roof jacks come with a 60 yr warranty.
