No other material offers the aesthetic appeal of cast iron, one which can satisfy all the requirements of traditional architecture. It is the logical choice for listed properties, conservation areas, and heritage work.
The Heritage Rainwater System from Tuscan Foundry is specified and supplied throughout the UK, Ireland, and for many overseas projects.
Tuscan Foundry Heritage standard rainwater range includes 8 cast iron gutter profiles in several sizes with a flow rate capacity of up to 3 liters per second.
The eight standard gutters profiles will satisfy the requirements of most project installations, but where something larger, more unique, in keeping or to satisfy the building listed status we can also supply an extensive range of large sand-cast gutters and can replicate (from originals) bespoke gutter.
In addition to our range of cast iron gutter profiles, we can also offer radius curved gutters in any of the standard profiles.
Heritage cast iron round rainwater pipes are available in four diameters; 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm, and in standard lengths of; 610mm, 914mm, 1219m, and 1.829mm and supplied either eared (with fixing lugs) or plain sockets (without fixing lugs. Heritage cast iron rainwater pipes offer uniformity of shape and thickness, but retain the cast finish, by centrifugal casting.
The Heritage range of cast iron gutters and pipes is further enhanced by a wide selection of standard and ornamental rainwater heads.
Customisation of rainwater pipes, enable us to add ears to any standard rainwater fitting, and rainwater heads can be customised with dates or embellishments.
Cast iron offers many advantages over more modern materials and has been recognised and used consistently on buildings for well over two hundred years now, after replacing lead which was used on larger and more important buildings.
The many benefits of cast iron rainwater systems include:
Our rainwater systems are available in four paint finishes and factory finish solutions will enable quicker on-site installation:
Our factory-applied 2-part polyurethane finish has a life expectancy of 10 years. This is subject to an annual maintenance schedule and the correct installation procedures being followed, especially as far as cutting and retouching are concerned.
Heritage Coastal is designed to perform in the rigors of a marine environment. The standard 10-year life expectancy does not apply to coastal and marine environments and we recommend any location within 5Km of the sea should choose our Coastal finish.
Cast iron offers an authentic appearance that complements traditional architecture. It’s also robust, long-lasting, and often required to meet listed building consent conditions. Unlike plastic alternatives, cast iron guttering retains the historic integrity of a building and weathers beautifully over time.
It’s also worth noting that modern cast iron systems benefit from factory-applied protective coatings, making them easier to maintain and install than in decades past. Cast iron offers seamless integration into any historic elevation when matched carefully to the existing system or surrounding details.
