Why Choose FloPlast 65mm Square Cast Iron Style?

Authentic Heritage Finish: The pipes feature a highly realistic textured surface, while the fittings incorporate decorative "lugs" to perfectly replicate traditional bolted iron joints. Angular Elegance: The square profile offers a slightly more defined, structured look compared to standard round pipes, pairing beautifully with flat brickwork or render. Highly Cost-Effective: Achieve the luxurious, historic look of custom cast iron at a fraction of the material and installation cost. Maintenance-Free Durability: Unlike real metal, this premium plastic system will never rust, corrode, or rot, and it completely eliminates the need for expensive repainting. Simple Push-Fit Assembly: There is no need for specialist metalworking tools or heavy lifting equipment. The pipes and fittings simply slot together for a fast, watertight finish.

FloPlast 65mm Square Cast Iron Style FAQ

Which guttering systems does this downpipe fit? This 65mm square downpipe is predominantly used as the dedicated drop system for the FloPlast Cast Iron Style Niagara Ogee guttering profile, providing a sharp, defined finish from the roofline to the drain.

Are the fittings different from standard plastic downpipes? Yes. While standard plastic downpipe fittings are smooth, the Cast Iron Style square fittings are specifically moulded with external "lugs" (the protruding ears on the side of the collars) and a textured finish to recreate the look of traditional bolted ironwork.

Can I use this downpipe on a listed building or in a conservation area? FloPlast’s Cast Iron Style range is a highly popular, lightweight alternative for conservation areas and is frequently approved by planning authorities. However, we always strongly advise double-checking with your local conservation officer before starting a project on a listed building.

How far apart should the downpipe clips be spaced? To keep the square pipe securely fastened to your exterior wall, the decorative pipe clips should be spaced at a maximum of 1.8 metres apart vertically. We also recommend securing a clip just below the gutter outlet and directly above the shoe at the base of the run.
