Leading ground drainage and rainwater systems specialist, Marley Plumbing & Drainage, is delighted to announce the introduction of its new Regency system to the Marley Life4 Rainwater range.

The Regency profile has been designed to replace Marley Plumbing & Drainage’s Classic rainwater system. The contoured gutter system provides specifiers, installers and merchants with a number of functional and aesthetic benefits.

Available in four colour options, including anthracite grey, the Regency profile is particularly suited to modern houses and conservatories. This suitability extends to the unique co-ordinating downpipe, as well as a 68mm circular downpipe, which is also compatible with the Regency profile.

Commenting on the launch of the Regency profile, Rod McLachlan, Rainwater Category Manager at Marley Plumbing & Drainage, said: “We feel proud to bring another quality product to the market, which demonstrates our continued commitment to investing in innovative solutions.

"The Regency profile is a highly functional, stylised rainwater product that complies with all the necessary British and European Standards. The range is backed by Life4 Technology and is ideal for modern homes. With a matching downpipe, homeowners can create co-ordinated exteriors that add instant kerb appeal.”

Featured within the Regency profile are a number of advanced Life4 technologies. For one, the profile can withstand up-to four times the exposure of standard PVC-u rainwater gutter and downpipes systems. This was revealed after the profile underwent weathering tests for rainwater systems, as set out within the European standard. The tests mimic actual conditions but can also accelerate the effects in order to assess long term performance. Measurements taken after the extended test showed that the extent of colour fade was well below what’s permitted in the European Standard after 1600 hours.

As with all of its rainwater systems, Marley Plumbing & Drainage has produced the Regency system with ease of installation in mind. To this end, the profile features pivot clippings, which make the unit far easier to fit. What’s more, the profile features multi-position unifit outlets meaning it can be fixed anywhere, including angles. This increased functionality not only reduces the risk of overflow but helps makes the process of aligning the pipe far easier.

What’s more, maintenance of the units is also reduced as the bracket can be fixed directly onto the fascia. In turn, this ensures that the downpipe remains connected to the outlet at all times.

Marley Plumbing & Drainage has taken great care to ensure the profile is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. The profile allows specifiers to meet their own design goals and is available in four colour options; black, white, brown and anthracite grey.

As mentioned, the profile has superior colour retention levels, but also has a high gloss finish. Unlike alternatives on the market, the Regency profile has two feature lines throughout the pipe that give a metallic appearance.
