Cast Iron Effect Gutters
Cast Iron Effect Gutters are an ideal choice to replace traditional cast iron on period properties. The lightweight aluminium makes these gutters easy to handle and fit, while the robust polyester powder coating ensures a long, maintenance-free life.

Aluminium for the Environment
Over 90% of the aluminium we use is from recycled sources, and 100% will be recyclable at its end of life. This makes aluminium one of the most sustainable rainwater systems for building projects.
BS 9101:2017
For best practice, installers should ensure that any gutters they fit comply to British Standard BS 9101:2017 Steel and aluminium rainwater systems.
Our standard gutters are generally compliant with BS 9101:2017*.
The standard specifies the requirements for the design and manufacture of metal gutters on industrial, commercial and residential buildings. It reflects the range of materials and manufacturing technologies available and applies to the manufacture of steel and aluminium metal gutter systems.
This British Standard specifies the materials, tolerances, mechanical properties and surface conditions, coatings, laminated surfaces, jointing methods and fixings for rainwater systems, including fittings and accessories for assembly or support.
The British Standard is available from www.shop.bsigroup.com.
*Fitting gutter using rafter or mortar brackets may compromise compliance
