Alumasc Case Study | Conningbrook Lakes

Idyllic new homes completed with Alumasc Infinity Steel Rainwater Systems. Conningbrook Lakes is a modern development of what will be over 300 new, state of the art homes, situated beside the beautiful lakes and rural scenery of Ashford, Kent. Alumasc Rainwater Infinity stainless steel gutters and drainpipes were the most natural choice. Finishing the houses to the best standard possible meant ensuring all accessories matched and upheld the high standards of Chartway Construction and Alumasc. Rainwater Infinity Steel was developed by Alumasc to offer a contemporary, eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to plastic gutters, that look sleek and have no risk of shrinking, leaking or colour fading. Although supplied in their original galvanised steel finish, Alumasc are also able to supply Infinity steel systems in six different pre-coated colour finishes upon request, as well as plain zinc or copper. All colour coated lengths are protected with an adhesive film to prevent damage on-site. Designed for ease of installation as well as quality, the dry joint system ensures there is no need for additional silicone sealants. Gutter lengths and angles are jointed with 'EPDM rubber sealed’ connectors, for a watertight installation, that are push-fit for speed. Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001: 2008 and ISO 14001: 2004, this lightweight, durable and non-corrodible rainwater management system has the added benefit of a higher flow capacity on outlets due to larger inlet funnels, and a ‘deep drawn’ gutter angle. This modern look is testament to the young, professional and often environmentally-minded population that is currently moving into the first completed houses. Ashford is quickly becoming one of the south east’s newest international commuter towns, with young professionals and families moving between their idyllic homes to the hubbub of both London and Paris, with the help of the new Eurostar station in the area.
