Sustainable House benefits from Copper
Rainwater System
If you are wanting a natural looking
and eco-friendly rainwater system then
Copper gutters and down pipes from
the Yeoman Rainguard range, as chosen
by the owners of a charming detached
residence in North Yorkshire, are the
solution.
With solar panels already in place the
proprietors were keen to extend their
sustainable ideas to a new rainwater
system choosing a copper product for
its natural attributes.
The finish is not only pleasing to
the eye but gives copper gutters and
downpipes their own self-manufactured
defence to corrosion, meaning a low
maintenance lifecycle of over 50 years. “We are very happy with what Yeoman
Rainguard have supplied us and look
forward to the system giving us many
years of maintenance free service.”
commented the house owner.
A copper rainwater system is also a
perfect choice for those, as in this case,
wanting to harvest rainwater because it
is a natural biocide which prevents the
build-up of algae. For more information on copper

Yeoman Rainguard 125 x 70mm copper
half round gutters along with 80mm
dia. downpipes were expertly fitted
to the property by local contractor
Robertson Building & Roofing Ltd of
York.
Over time the bright finish will
darken through natural oxidisation to,
eventually, a beautiful green patina.
This attractive finish looks perfect
against natural stone, timber and red
brick facades.
