What sizes do steel downpipes come in?
Steel downpipes are available in a variety of diameters to suit different roof sizes and rainwater volumes. Standard downpipes are typically supplied in 3m lengths, with manufacturers like Alumasc, Lindab, ACO, and Blücher offering a range of sizes to meet residential, commercial, and industrial requirements.
Are steel downpipes suitable for all property types?
Steel downpipes are highly versatile and suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They work well on modern properties for a sleek finish, and with the correct profile and colour, they can also complement traditional architecture.
Do steel downpipes rust?
Steel downpipes can rust if left unprotected, especially in harsh or coastal environments. To prevent corrosion, they are usually galvanised or powder-coated, providing long-lasting protection and a low-maintenance solution for all property types.
How are steel downpipes installed?
Steel downpipes are installed using brackets or straps fixed securely to the building structure. Sections are joined using mechanical couplings or seals, and outlets connect to the drainage system. Installation is straightforward, but it should follow the manufacturer's guidance to ensure correct alignment and long-term durability.
Do steel downpipes need painting or treatment?
Yes, unless supplied pre-finished, steel downpipes should be galvanised, painted, or powder-coated to protect against corrosion and extend their lifespan. Factory-applied coatings are preferred, as they provide uniform protection and an attractive finish.
Do steel downpipes expand and contract with temperature changes?
Yes, steel expands and contracts slightly in response to temperature fluctuations. Proper installation, including the use of slotted brackets or flexible joints, accommodates this movement without causing damage or leaks, ensuring the downpipe system remains secure and functional.
