Benefits of Cast Iron

Cast iron is particularly well suited for all drainage systems as it offers many benefits, both for

above and below ground installation, which include:

Strength and durability - cast iron pipes are highly resistant to distortion caused by accident

or vandalism.

Long life - when correctly installed cast iron drainage systems will last the life of the building,

whether domestic, public, industrial or commercial.

Low maintenance - cast iron requires little ongoing maintenance, annual inspections are

recommended but remedial action is rarely required.

Design Capability - cast iron can meet the needs of restoration, refurbishment, conservation and

heritage work as well as new, bespoke and unique designs.

Sustainability - in addition to lasting the life of a building and requiring minimal maintenance, cast

iron is also 100% recyclable and can therefore be used again after the building has gone.

Cost effective - owing to its longevity, durability and low maintenance, coupled with its fire

resistance and low noise operation, the cost benefits of cast iron are significant.

Fire resistance and Safety - The melting point of cast iron is considerably higher than PVCu or PE

and in the event of a fire will not emit toxic fumes or drop burning globules of material from one

compartment to another.
