RoofArt has become one of the most prominent names in the guttering industry. In business for more than 75 years, the company is known for its quality and innovation. Known for its durability – RoofArt guttering has a life expectancy of 50+ years. It’s easy to install, and colour-coated options are available, making it a highly popular option. But what about its green credentials?
It can be recycled
RoofArt rainwater systems are made from galvanised steel, so when it is no longer needed it can be recycled. This means less waste going to landfill and the longevity of the product contributes to a reduced carbon footprint.
It’s durable
RoofArt guttering systems can last for upwards of 50 years. That becomes more impressive when you compare it to the alternatives. Fibre cement systems have a life expectancy of 25 years and PVC guttering systems will rarely last as long as 30 years. Once installed, if maintained in line with RoofArt’s recommendations, your steel rainwater system will be removing water from your properties for decades.
Reduced carbon footprint
Pretty much every production process carries a carbon footprint and the production of building materials is no different. But postproduction, galvanised steel products carry a zero carbon footprint. This is because they are maintenance free. The zinc used within the galvanising process also has a very small carbon footprint, which helps to reduce the overall footprint of the product.
Supports sustainable practices
A well designed and installed guttering system will also enable you to harvest rainwater. By installing some strategically placed water butts around your property you will be able to circumvent hosepipe bans in hot dry summers while maintaining a supply of untreated water that some plants prefer.
It is essential to have a functioning rainwater removal system on the outside of your property in order to prevent damp and other damage. Choosing a guttering system like RoofArt, means you can enhance your home’s sustainability at the same time.
