How to choose the right rainwater system for your project

There’s an abundance of choice when it comes to selecting rainwater systems, however it’s important to consider the environmental hazards your project will be exposed to when deciding on the right guttering and downpipes. Take into account:

The original character of the property, the level of water flow and snow load, and the expected lifecycle of your chosen materials. Protect your property using a rainwater system that is both stylish and durable with Yeoman Rainguard.

Aluminium

Recyclable aluminium guttering is supplied with either a smooth or textured finish, with a range of accessories that will help tailor this product to the character of your property. The gutters will also be strong enough to accommodate heavy snow loads and have a long service life of over 30 years.

Cast Iron

Highly popular for use on listed and heritage buildings since the 1700s, cast iron rainwater systems are strong and durable with a life expectancy of 40 years or more. Traditional, recyclable cast iron gutter profiles with decorate ear bands and stylish hoppers are the perfect addition to your heritage building.

Copper, Zinc & Stainless Steel

These lightweight materials are chameleon like, changing patina over time to add depth and colour to many rainwater systems. This patina functions as an exceptional, natural defence against the elements – these materials are durable enough to offer an almost unlimited life service. Whilst copper is a sustainable, 100% recyclable material, zinc and stainless steel are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance.
