More about Alumasc Swaged Hoppers

Swaged hoppers are designed to sit comfortably within a traditionally styled rainwater system where stepped pipe connections are a key visual feature. These hoppers are built from aluminium which significantly reduces weight while retaining excellent durability and weather resistance. Their form allows for efficient collection and distribution of water across the downpipe network while remaining sympathetic to the design of heritage or refurbishment projects. Available in a range of sizes and finishes they can be specified to integrate smoothly with different downpipe diameters and facade colours. Installers value their dependable connection style and easy handling on site. When paired with matching swaged downpipes and gutter systems they help deliver a fully coordinated appearance that maintains a traditional look with improved installation practicality.
