Galvanised Steel Downpipes

Zambelli galvanised steel downpipes are a popular choice for homeowners across the UK, and for good reason. They offer many benefits over other materials, such as plastic or cast iron, making them a smart investment for any property. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider purchasing these downpipes for your home.

Firstly, steel as a material is incredibly durable. The downpipes are resistant to extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, and high winds. This is particularly important in the UK, where inclement weather is a common occurrence. Unlike other materials, such as plastic, which can become brittle and crack in cold temperatures, galvanised steel remains strong and sturdy, even in the harshest conditions.

These downpipes are also highly corrosion-resistant. This is a major advantage over other materials, such as copper, which can rust or corrode over time. Galvanised steel is coated in a layer of zinc, which provides a protective barrier against moisture and other environmental factors. This means that your downpipes will remain in excellent condition for many years, without the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

Another benefit of galvanised steel downpipes is their fire resistance. Steel is a non-combustible material, meaning that it will not catch fire or contribute to the spread of flames in the event of a fire. This is particularly important for properties that are located in areas with a high risk of wildfires, such as rural or forested regions.

These rainwater systems are also an eco-friendly choice. Steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world, with a recycling rate of over 90%. This means that your old downpipes can be easily recycled and used to make new products, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
