More about Alumasc Swaged Rectangular Downpipes

Swaged rectangular downpipes combine the stepped joint appearance with a more angular shape that suits buildings with defined lines or historical detailing. Their rectangular structure sits neatly against walls and can align well with traditional window trims and masonry patterns. Made from corrosion resistant aluminium these downpipes offer reliable performance over a long lifespan with minimal maintenance needs. The installation process is simplified due to the lighter weight compared to cast materials which helps contractors work more efficiently particularly on larger buildings. The system is available in a variety of PPC colours which makes it simple to colour match other components or complement the facade finish. Together with matching swaged fittings and accessories they provide a cohesive system that supports both traditional aesthetics and consistent weather protection.
