Classical Rainwater Gutter & Downpipe System

Pam Building manufactures the classical range of traditional rainwater and gutter systems designed in accordance with BS 460:2002+a2:2007.

Cast iron gutters and downpipes have been manufactured at the Telford site for over 100 years servicing the housing and construction markets, recognised for their aesthetic charm, strength to withstand high winds, heavy snow, and vandalism and above all their long life capabilities. No other material can match the character, durability, strength or appeal of cast iron and, most importantly, only cast iron can preserve the intentions of the original architect and the aesthetic integrity of the building.

Features and benefits:

• Retains and enhances the traditional character of the building.
• Naturally durable for up to 100 years.
• Low maintenance due to best-in-class resistance to shocks and crushing.
• Can be in a primed finish ready for painting or a Plus finish (black semi-gloss RAL 9005 700).
• Manufactured to BS 460:2002+A2:2007.
• A range of gutter shapes and sizes to suit each project needs.
• Rectangular pipe option.
• Length: 1.83 m.
• High resistance to impact (accidental and vandalism), a major consideration for inner cities, town shopping precincts, and schools.
• Secure against heavy snowfalls and high winds.
• Rigidity to comfortably accommodate the weight of ladders for routine maintenance.
• The physical properties of cast iron will be sustained throughout its life, provided it is adequately painted and maintained.
• Will not rattle in high winds.
• Will not twist or creak due to temperature changes.
• Excellent sound-deadening properties—therefore, no significant sound of running or dripping water disturbing the peace.
• Cast iron has an aesthetic charm that simply cannot be matched by other materials.
• Retains and enhances the traditional character of the building.
• Can be painted any colour to match the building.
• Enhances perception of the value of the property.
• Many profiles to match virtually all architectural styles.
• Naturally durable for up to 100 years.
• Cost-effective over the long term. Cast iron can last five times longer than alternative materials, which have an estimated lifespan of around 20 years.
• Manufactured from up to 99% recycled content.
• 100% recyclable at the end of its long life—indefinitely.
• Eliminates unnecessary replacement and waste—no landfill legacy.
• Profile designs have changed little over the years, therefore, new components can easily be integrated into existing systems, avoiding the costs of complete replacement.
