Monodraught Ltd

Professor Terry Payne, Chairman and Managing Director of Monodraught formed the Company 30 years ago to pioneer the development of Vertical Balanced - Flue chimney systems. Since then the company has specialised in the development of natural ventilation systems and low energy concepts for the building environment. In 1982 Monodraught launched the WindCatcher Natural Ventilation system, which was based on the original Vertical Balanced - flue arrangement and encapsulates any prevailing wind to provide energy free, natural ventilation. In 1996 Monodraught launched the SunPipe system and pioneered its development in the UK. Today more than 2,000 Sunpipe Systems per month are sold in the UK and Monodraught sells SunPipe to 15 countries worldwide. There are 26 Sunpipe showrooms and advice centres in the UK and 12 stockists and agents overseas.
