Design Challenge: Achieve a metallic look without rusting.
This quaint eight year old home is hidden amongst one of Auckland’s biggest suburbs, Manurewa. Built from scratch, home owner James was unimpressed that his current metal spouting and downpipe system had begun to rust after only five years. The spouting was also too narrow and not coping with the rainfall regularly experienced in Auckland. That’s when James decided to make a change for the better! He noticed an ad for the Marley Stratus Design Series® and has never looked back.
The Marley Stratus Design Series® makes a complimentary addition to any residence. James chose Marley’s Typhoon® half-round spouting and RP80® 80mm round downpipes in Copper. He wanted the Copper option as it complimented the brick cladding, and added a subtle, yet stylish edge to neatly finish off a beautiful home.
Marley has risen to the challenge to produce a product which is low maintenance and durable against Auckland’s variable weather conditions. The larger spouting can handle Auckland’s heavy downpours and the external bracket option makes it a cinch to clear any leaves and debris. Its stylish and adds value to any house.

Wiri Prison, Auckland South
Earlier this year, Fletcher Building announced that its subsidiary, SecureFuture consortium, was awarded the contract to design, finance, build, operate and maintain a new public/private partnership (PPP) prison in Wiri, South Auckland. Marley’s Magnum spouting and downpipe range was specified to meet the specific requirements of this project.
The new 960 bed men’s facility is needed to meet growing demand for prisoner accommodation in Auckland.
“The design for the prison draws on international research and expertise to ensure its construction complements a world-class approach to reducing re-offending in safe, secure and decent settings” said Serco Managing Director Paul Mahoney.
With this in mind, H W Coyles Ltd installed Marley’s rugged half-round Magnum spouting and downpipe system, combining style with durability and performance providing the perfect innovative solution.
Magnum is a large capacity rugged half round PVC spouting system and is ideally suited for large roof areas in residential, commercial and rural applications. Magnum comes in grey with external brackets for ease of cleaning and a 100mm downpipe.
Magnum has a large cross section, is a complete PVC system and possesses the ideal characteristics for such a job:
- Magnum’s dimensions could cope with peak water flow
- PVC is extremely resilient and durable, no need to paint and won’t rust out where debris settles
- Aesthetically ppealing, no sharp corners to catch debris
- Full range of modualr components minimises on site cuttings
The specification of the durable Marley Magnum spouting and downpipe range reflects the overarching desire to create a lasting legacy for the community. The Wiri project’s ground-breaking approach was recently highly commended at the International Public/Private Partnership Awards in London. The judges recognised the project as “a pathfinder not just for the justice sector but for the country as a whole”.

This minimalist home is enhanced by Marley Stratus Design Series® spouting and downpipes.
Flowing finish
Just as jewellery completes your outfit, so the right spouting and downpipes offer the finishing touch for your home. New hybrid metal finishes create an upmarket look that will really last, and complement the cladding and roofing of traditional and modern houses.
This contemporary bach by architect Nick Robbers of Haarlem Developments is a good example.
Given the coastal location, I specified Marley uPVC spouting and downpipes as they never corrode, even in the most extreme sea spray zones.
“We were pleased with the result and so was the client. The Titanium not only looked sharp, but the use of unseen internal brackets was cohesive with the clean-lined design of the house,” he says.
There are many pluses to specifying the Marley Stratus Design Series® besides style without compromise, says Marley marketing executive Donna Mackay.
“This spouting and downpipe system will not rust, rot or corrode. It is also low maintenance, easy to install and designed for New Zealand’s climate conditions. With the planet in mind, all Marley systems are 100% recyclable and have a peace-of-mind 15-year guarantee.”
Marley is a trusted New Zealand firm with 50 years’ manufacturing experience.
