uPVC vs Aluminium vs Cast Iron
uPVC: The most common choice for modern Welsh properties. Light, maintenance-free, inexpensive, and available in a wide range of profiles. Lasts 20โ30 years. The standard choice for post-1960s housing.
Aluminium: More durable than uPVC, available in any RAL colour, and increasingly popular for contemporary new-builds and extensions. Costs 30โ60% more than uPVC but lasts longer and looks better on modern properties.
Cast iron: The original material in Victorian and Edwardian Welsh properties. Heavy, requires painting every 5โ10 years, but very durable and correct for heritage properties. Required in many conservation areas and for listed buildings. Cast iron sections are repairable in a way that uPVC is not โ cracked sections can be replaced individually.
Important for Welsh heritage properties: In conservation areas and on listed buildings, cast iron or steel guttering is often required โ uPVC may not be permitted. Check with your local authority before ordering.
