More about Alumasc Swaged Circular Downpipes

Swaged circular downpipes provide a practical and visually traditional jointing method where a section of the pipe is expanded to securely fit into the next piece. This creates a classic stepped appearance that suits many refurbishment projects and period style buildings. The aluminium material offers a lighter and more manageable alternative to cast iron while still providing a long lasting and robust solution for draining water effectively down the building exterior. These downpipes can be supplied in multiple diameters and PPC finishes that adapt well to different project requirements and property colours. Installers appreciate the straightforward installation and the strong connection method that reduces the risk of water escape at the joints. They work neatly with matching swaged fittings and hoppers from Alumasc to support a consistent traditional rainwater scheme with improved longevity.
