Looking up

Considering an upgrade to your house? Optimising elements like the spouting and downpipes can make all the difference.

This residence has undergone a major renovation taking it from 137m² to 265m² in size. Besides a new level, the house has also gained a refined edge partly due to the addition of spouting and downpipes from the Marley Stratus Design Series, says marketing executive Donna Mackay.

"The original spouting was concealed behind a fascia, with potential problems of moisture build-up or leakage the finish also did not flatter the new, modern look.

"In its place, owner Dave Thomas chose Marley Typhoon Titanium spouting and 80mm round downpipe. This turned what had been a purely functional system into an architectural feature."

Internal brackets were selected for smooth lines here, but external brackets are offered, too, as an easy-to-clean option.

"The Marley Stratus Design Series also brings long-term peace of mind it is purpose-built for New Zealand's rugged conditions, and won't rust," Mackay says.

Designed with the planet in mind, all Marley systems are 100% recyclable and have a 15-year guarantee."
