Aluminium Downpipe

Aluminum downpipes are a reliable and viable way to keep your business or home safe from the elements. They immediately became widely used guttering and downspouts for numerous home and commercial needs. This is a direct result of the numerous advantages that aluminum downpipes and gutters have over other gutters materials such as plastic / PVC.

Its low cost to purchase relative to different materials, light weight, long-lasting strength and accessibility in different shades. That's why aluminum has a solid reputation as an ideal choice. Downpipes and gutters made of aluminum are valued for their robustness as well as their sleek, convincing appearance. Still, there are many benefits to choosing aluminum downpipes for your property, here are some of them:

Alutec, Alumasc, and Rainguard are the three main categories from which aluminum downpipes can be purchased. All aluminum products are offered in mill finish or a variety of RAL colors via polyester powder coating (Non-Painted). Other textured colors are available upon request, in addition to the usual textured black finish.

Timelessness

The appearance of aluminium downpipes is very neutral, making them ideal for all kinds of properties, from old village houses to current, new buildings. No matter what era your home is from, or what period your home is from, aluminum downpipes and gutters won't look out of place.

Impact Resistance

Aluminum is very light weight but incredibly robust. For instance, when an aluminum downpipe is struck, it dents, but the deformation absorbs the force of the impact. Under impact, a downpipe made of cast iron or plastic would crack and need to be replaced right away. Although the aluminum downpipe may have a ding, it won't need to be replaced.

Durability

Because aluminum doesn't rust, it's ideal for as long as possible. It is very strong and has a normal lifespan of about 30 years depending on maintenance. This also makes aluminium downpipes very financially savvy.

Wide color range

With aluminum downpipes, you can choose from a wider range of fabrication colours. While you will most likely need to paint different gutters or use only a limited set of shades, aluminum downspouts and drains are often readily available in a variety of colours. Aluminum downpipes are less prone to fading from exposure to sunlight, keeping them looking new throughout their life.

Sturdiness

Another incredible advantage is that aluminum downpipes won't crack or split due to temperature changes. They suffer little from thermal expansion. Additionally, they are often available in continuous pipes to prevent breakage and unsightly seams.

Low Maintenance

There is often very little maintenance needed, aside from routine cleaning of leaves and dirt. 

Convenience

The amazing thing about aluminum downpipes is that they are quite simple to install on your own. There is no requirement for the joints to be welded, so there is no compelling incentive to hire expensive services. Aluminum downpipes are lightweight and easy to move around when installation, so you don't have to worry about weight either when handling them from heights.

Temperature and Fire Resistance

A temperature range of -80°C to +150°C has no effect on the characteristics of aluminum. Aluminum becomes more resistant as its hardness rises in extremely cold temperatures. Aluminum is categorized as a non-combustible building material since it does not burn. At a temperature of 600–650 °C, aluminum will melt but no dangerous gases will be released. In comparison, plastic brittles under cold temperatures and will swiftly melt and burn in the event of a fire, allowing the fire to spread and releasing toxic gases.

Recyclable

Aluminum is a material that may be recycled indefinitely without losing any of its properties. An aluminum rainwater system is the more environmentally friendly option because the energy needed to re-melt aluminum is just around 5% of the energy needed to produce the metal in the first place.

Aluminium downpipes are available to purchase from three main categories, Alutec, Alumasc and GC Guttering. All aluminium products are available in a range of RAL colours polyester powder coated to order or in Mill finish (Non-Painted). Textured black finish is available as standard and other textured colours upon request.
