Cast iron guttering and pipe systems provide a natural alternative to manmade plastic. Unlike plastic guttering and piping, iron is naturally durable, with no twisting due to temperature changes or damage from inclement weather. This makes it a sustainable alternative, eliminating unnecessary replacement or waste, and being a natural product iron is 100% recyclable. Efficient channelling of rainwater also allows for improved opportunities to recycle. Cast iron preserves the historical look of older buildings thus ‘sustaining’ architectural heritage.

This steel rainwater system has far greater durability and strength than plastic; the core is galvanised, given a passive coating, primed and Plastisol coated to give excellent protection from the elements. Its construction ensures that it is rust resistant. It is available in a choice of colours including metallic options. Rainline is more durable than plastic, lighter and less expensive than cast iron or aluminium and easy to install.

The Biodisc is designed for homes without mains drainage, where discharge is to sub-surface irrigation or a water course, or where a septic tank will not meet the required standards. Its design encourages completely natural breakdown of waste and it is constructed from corrosion free materials. The effluent produced will meet the demands of Environment Agency regulations and it meets Building Regulations stipulating the avoidance of overflow of a soak away.

To further treat domestic effluent after initial treatment by Biodisc, the Reed bed system will improve effluent discharge quality by at least 50% and will reduce the amount of phosphates in the discharge. It is a natural filtration process where discharge passes through a container of water reeds.
