Authentic Appearance with Long Lasting Color: Plastic cast iron guttering is crafted to look like traditional cast iron. With a 20-year colour guarantee, the finish is designed to withstand weathering, maintaining its look without fading or peeling.
Lightweight and Easy Installation: Unlike real cast iron gutters, which can be heavy and challenging to install, cast iron effect plastic guttering is made from PVC, making it lightweight and suitable for quick installation by professionals or DIY enthusiasts. The installation method is similar to standard PVC gutters, simplifying the process.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Cast Iron: Cast iron effect gutters offer a classic look at a fraction of the cost. Traditional cast iron gutters require regular maintenance and painting, but with cast iron effect gutters, you’ll enjoy the aesthetic appeal with minimal upkeep.
Weather and Rust Resistant: One of the significant benefits of cast iron effect gutters is their resistance to rust, making them ideal for long-term use. Unlike real cast iron, these gutters do not corrode, making them perfect for properties in harsh climates.
Variety of Styles to Match Any Property: Available in half round, ogee, and deepflow profiles with round or square downpipes, cast iron effect gutters can be customised to suit any home design. Decorative hoppers and motifs are also available to enhance the traditional aesthetic.
For your peace of mind, each system is protected by a 20-year colour and performance guarantee. Discover more about the features and benefits of cast iron effect guttering here.
