Cast Iron Gutters A Friend of the Architect

Cast Iron Gutters: A Friend of the Architect

When asked what the secret to truly stunning and awe-inspiring architecture is, most people probably won’t answer cast iron gutters.

Stunning architecture is notoriously difficult to achieve. It is common that a building lacks a je ne se quoi, without people being able to put their finger on why exactly this is the case. Architects toil for hours in the studio and on-site looking for the missing ingredient that will give their building the edge and make it truly stand out in its surroundings.

More and more often, architects are finding that the missing ingredient they need on their buildings is the installation of cast iron gutters. They are the icing on the cake of a building; they make the perfect trimming.

What is it about cast iron gutters that make them such a worthwhile addition to a new-build project? For a long time now, cast iron gutters have been part of the traditional building discourse. They have been the hallmark of traditional buildings, from universities to old hospitals.

Interestingly, cast iron gutters work well with both contemporary and traditional build projects. Perhaps this is why they have become a firm favourite of the architect. No matter what the building type, cast iron gutters can be relied upon to add to the look of the building.

They can be painted in the exact colour required to match the scheme of the building. Their versatility is truly unique in comparison to the other rainwater systems available.

On top of the mere aesthetics that cast iron gutters add to a building, they also add strength and resilience to the rainwater system. After all, their primary responsibility is to divert water away from the building’s foundations. This will not be a worry with cast iron gutters.
