Why Choose Cast Iron Guttering?
Unique in their appearance, cast iron gutters are perfect for heritage and listed buildings. Originating from the Victorian period, cast iron gutters are favoured by those who wish to remain loyal to when the property was built – especially if their family or business has lived there for a long time.
With a lifespan of up to 100 years, cast iron gutters stand up to the elements. In a country where rain and harsh winds are frequent, you don’t need to worry about them becoming damaged.
Additionally, cast iron offers longevity for rainwater and drainage solutions. With adequate maintenance, they are guaranteed to outlast other guttering materials, so you get value for your money.
Cast iron guttering remains a preferred choice for heritage and listed buildings due to its durability, historical accuracy, and ability to preserve traditional character. Organisations such as Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland, and Northern Ireland's Department for Communities note that, with proper maintenance, cast iron can last significantly longer than modern alternatives.
In contrast, materials like uPVC are generally discouraged for historic properties due to aesthetic concerns, susceptibility to damage, and shorter lifespans. Additionally, while the production of cast iron has an environmental impact, its long service life and 100% recyclability make it a more sustainable option over time compared to short-lived plastic alternatives.
At Cast Iron Superstore, we have decades of experience in manufacturing cast iron guttering products. Many listed projects require genuine cast iron products as replicas simply don’t have the same strength, characteristics and integrity that original systems do.
