What building types is the Regent Cast Iron Hopper Head No.1 (H1) suited to?

What building types is the Regent Cast Iron Hopper Head No.1 (H1) suited to?

The Regent H1 is well suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, listed commercial buildings, civic and institutional properties, and ecclesiastical buildings where a traditional funnel-form hopper is architecturally appropriate. Its multi-faceted tapering body reads as period-accurate on Gothic and classical building types alike, and it is a commonly specified choice for conservation and listed building projects across the UK.

Can the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent be used externally?

Can the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent be used externally?

The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use. The Polished Lacquered version is best suited to interiors or sheltered external locations where the polished finish will be protected from weathering. The Polished Brass version is suited to interior and semi-exposed locations. For external applications on exposed elevations, the Antique Black finish is the recommended specification.
