Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?

Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.

How do I get a price for a cast iron soil stack?

How do I get a price for a cast iron soil stack?

Prices for each item are shown on the product pages, ex VAT. For a full schedule and quotation, send drawings or photographs showing the stack height and the connections, then call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.

Do cast iron radiators work with heat pumps?

Do cast iron radiators work with heat pumps?

Yes, provided they are sized for the lower water temperature. Outputs are published at ΔT50; at ΔT30 a section gives about half that, so heat pump systems usually need more sections or a deeper pattern. We can prepare a radiator schedule at your heat pump design temperature.

Is a brass rooflight opener suitable for a listed building or conservation area?

Is a brass rooflight opener suitable for a listed building or conservation area?

What finishes are available on your cast iron hopper heads?

Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats.
