A genuine cast iron rainwater pattern the H16 or No.16 is available in two profile sizes. The profile is a larger version of the more traditional ogee (OG) curved pattern and offers increased capacity.

The H16 moulded cast iron gutter is a larger and more decorative version of the common ogee profile. Known as the H16 or No.16 moulded pattern, it shares the elegant S-curve cross-section of the ogee but with a deeper section, more pronounced moulded detail, and significantly greater drainage capacity. It is found on Victorian and Edwardian country houses, manor houses, civic and institutional buildings, hotels, large churches, and any substantial period property where the roof area and rainfall load demanded something beyond the standard common ogee.
This section is 1829mm (6 feet) in length, manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002. Available in two profile sizes: 125mm (5″) and 150mm (6″) by 100mm Deep ((6″). Supplied in primed or factory black finish as standard. The socket-and-spigot joint connects sections in a run, with union clips and jointing compound completing the watertight seal.
Accepted by conservation officers and listed building authorities as the appropriate heritage material for period properties where the G46 moulded pattern is the historically correct profile. The H16 is a pattern-specific gutter — angles, outlets, stop ends, brackets, and clips must all be from the H16 range, as fittings from the common ogee range are not compatible.
Where an existing H16installation has failed in part, the section can be matched precisely and supplied for a repair-and-replace specification, preserving the character of the original system without full replacement.

The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its working life, so with proper maintenance we'd expect our gutters and pipes to last over 100 years under normal conditions.
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.
BS 460:2002 is the British Standard governing cast iron rainwater goods — gutters, pipes, and fittings. It sets the dimensional tolerances, materials, and performance requirements a component must meet, so that joints seal, sections align, and the system performs as a whole rather than as isolated parts. All Tuscan Foundry Products components are manufactured to comply with BS 460:2002, which is worth citing directly in specification documents and listed building consent applications. The same manufacturing standard applies to bespoke and copy-cast work, even where the profile itself isn't from our standard range.
The H532 measures 560mm wide x 290mm deep x 305mm high, making it well suited to a broad, low-profile design suited to substantial roofs and box gutters on period commercial and civic buildings.
Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience
As well as being easier to produce, the material enabled eaves gutters to be installed more simply, since lead could only be used in this location as a lining for timber gutters. Many modern materials focus on replicating the appearance of cast iron but those materials can vary rarely offer any of the benefits. Cast iron gutters and pipes offer great strength and durability, a proven history of long life, low noise operation and fire resistance.

It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience’.
These terms tend to refer to possible cost savings rather than any real product benefits. It is also difficult to quantify the benefits of modern convenience over traditional build quality. It is worth remembering that all rainwater goods will require some element of maintaining to ensure they are unblocked by debris and remain functional. No rainwater system cleans itself.
Today most suppliers of cast iron rainwater systems offer products in both primer or pre-painted with a 10 year protective coating. When describing modern materials, the term ‘cost effective’ is used rather than simply saying cheap. There is no doubt that the initial cost of many modern materials is less than cast iron but you might be surprised to know that over its lifespan, cast iron will cost around a third of plastic.
The satin chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder is well suited to contemporary and transitional interiors where a brushed chrome finish complements modern or minimal ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and timber-framed skylights.
