Brochure introduces range of cast iron rainwater and gutter systems

‘thick’ and ‘thin’ spots making the pipe inherently weaker.

SAINT-GOBAIN PAM UK, a supplier of cast iron rainwater and gutter systems, has launched a new brochure featuring its Classical range of rainwater pipes and guttering systems, designed and developed using the latest pipe manufacturing technology, and in accordance with BS 460. The Classical range incorporates the benefits of cast iron over other materials like plastic, giving it the strength to withstand high winds, heavy snow, and vandalism. Cast iron is a sustainable material, as the manufacturing process uses 97% recycled material and the product is, in turn, 100% recyclable. The manufacturing technology used to produce circular Classical rainwater downpipes centrifugally spins the pipe, ensuring consistent section dimensions, unlike the traditional sand cast method, which is prone to produce pipe with

The standard Classical range is supplied with a water-based primer coat, ready for on-site painting to match any colour scheme. Alternatively, the rainwater and gutter system can be supplied with the finished ‘Classical Plus’ coating, ready for immediate installation. Classical Express is a true half round gutter profile with increased flow rates, and is connected using unique jointing clips that can be easily installed in any weather. Express is available with either the water based primer coat or the Classical Plus finish. The Classical range offers eight gutter profiles: four half round profiles (half round, deep round, beaded half round, and the Classical Express true half round profile), three decorative profiles (Notts, Ogee and Moulded No 46), and

the square profile Box gutter. There are also two rainwater downpipe systems available: round or rectangular. Saint-Gobain PAM – UK sales.uk.pipelines@saint-gobain.com www.saint-gobain-pam.co.uk Saint-Gobain PAM’s Classical range S S brochure
