HERITAGE PAINT FINISHES

HERITAGE PAINT
A good paint finish is vital to the performance and longevity of a Cast Iron rainwater and soil drainage system. Primers and finished coatings protect the underlying substrate by providing a barrier between the Cast Iron and corroding elements. Tuscan Foundry Products offer the following paint finishes, all of which are carried out by paint specialists in factory conditions.
HERITAGE PRIMED
The main functions of primers are to:
  • Provide a surface that subsequent coats of paint can easily adhere to
  • Provide short term protection to the surface until it can be top coated

At Tuscan the primer paints used are RAL 7024 dark grey in colour and have been specifically formulated to create a barrier to corrosion. The primers can be overcoated with Epoxy, Polyurethane or Acrylic paints. Products are coated internally and externally. The primer coated supplied products are classed as a transit coating and provide short term protection during delivery and undercover storage.
HERITAGE EXTRA

Tuscan Heritage Extra is an exterior coating, high solids, black gloss paint.
Black is our standard painted product and available off the shelf on a 3 to 5-day delivery. High solids gloss paints offer greater durability than paints with a lower solids content.

RAL COLOURS
We can supply any RAL or BS colour reference, we are also able to offer a colour matching service taken from an existing sample. All RAL coloured products are delivered with a matching tin of touch up paint to make good on any exposure of bare iron as a result of transit and or installation damage. Due to the bespoke paint requirements, these products are not available on our standard 3 to 5-day delivery.
HERITAGE COASTAL

Coastal regions are difficult to define, however for the purpose of this document and Tuscan guidelines, they are described as those areas within 5km of the coast.

The conditions in these areas are more aggressive than those experienced in many other areas. It is therefore very important that any paint chips or impact / installation damage is rectified straight away. Failure to rectify damage at an early stage, will lead to corrosion of the product progressing at an increased rate above what would be seen at an inland location.

To combat this aggressive environment, the overall coating thickness on the
Heritage Coastal products is much greater. This increased coating thickness forms a longer-lasting barrier between the environment and the substrate thus delaying the onset of corrosion. It is imperative that a robust maintenance regime is put in place to ensure that no salt or other contaminants are able to build up on the surface of the coating. Irrespective of the volume and quality of coating applied, regular maintenance and repainting will be required to ensure your Cast Iron products can continue to combat the harsh environments that coastal conditions present. Due to the bespoke paint requirements, these products are not available on our standard 3 to 5-day delivery.

TRADITIONAL LCC SOIL

Traditional LCC Soil (BS469) is coated in a bitumen paint. The main components of Bitumen paint are naphtha (petroleum) based. In the past Bitumen was the main choice for traditional soil drainage due to its resistance to moisture and good coverage of uneven surfaces. Normally this type of finish can’t be over painted with other paint types, because not only will harder materials used for over coating tend to crack or craze, but there is also the possibility that the Bitumen will bleed through. We cannot, therefore, recommend overpainting as a viable option.

If the colour is important to your project, we can recommend our Heritage Express Soil. With both the LCC and Heritage Express Soil systems, the same provisions regarding coastal locations apply as with the Heritage rainwater system. If you require this for use in a coastal area, please speak to our technical sales team for advice.

Why Cast Iron Guttering Is Ideal for Period and Listed Properties

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.
