Mt Albert, Auckland
A home renovation project provides an ideal opportunity to revamp the exterior of your home as well as the interior.
When this Mt Albert house underwent a major renovation, which included a large addition, the owner chose to install new designer uPVC spouting and downpipes from the Marley Stratus Design Series®.
“I love the idea of copper spouting, but I don’t like the way the copper looks after a few years,” the owner says. “It can look dirty and very dark, with none of the original shine.” The owner consequently specified copper-look uPVC spouting and downpipes that will keep their good looks for decades to come.
We love the way the copper finish really highlights the house – everyone comments on it, and the builder says he will use the same spouting on his next project. Marley even went so far as to custom-fabricate spouting corners for the curved spouting around the bay window at the front of the house.
The Marley Stratus Design Series® is purpose-built for New Zealand’s changeable climate and will never rust. Designed to be eco-friendly, all Marley systems are 100% recyclable. Peace of mind is also assured – the systems come with a 15-year guarantee.
New Plymouth
Situated overlooking New Plymouth’s beautiful, yet unforgiving coastline, this stylish gem needed a low maintenance, durable spouting system which could not only stand up against the coast’s harsh weather, but was also stylish, and complimented the contemporary aesthetic of the house.
William Johnson’s new residence built by Fabish and Jackson, was designed to reflect its surrounding environment and as such uses natural colourings throughout. Specifying designer uPVC spouting and downpipes in a copper hue from the Marley Stratus Design Series® accentuated this connection to the natural environment.
The secret to the Marley Stratus Design Series® besides its eye–catching looks is the advanced manufacturing process. Co-extrusion manufacturing combines an internal layer that minimises thermal movement with an outer layer that provides the premium aesthetic and durability. The result is durable colour with high UV and weather resistance – Marley Stratus Design Series® spouting and downpipes will never rust and is guaranteed for 15 years.
The Marley Stratus Design Series® is offered in Typhoon® spouting and 80mm downpipe with titanium and copper hybrid-metallic finishes available. For this project, the external brackets were chosen for ease of cleaning.
Bear Park Early Childhood Centre, Herne Bay, Auckland
Copper spouting theft is not an uncommon occurrence, but when Bear Park Early Childhood Centre, Auckland, had their copper spouting stolen for the third time, enough was enough.
Deterring the copper thieves
While copper spouting has always been admired for its aesthetic effect, the recurring crime was enough to deter the nursery from the copper look permanently… or so they thought.
Marley was made aware of the situation by one of their recommended installers, Supercity Property Services. Marley knew exactly what to do – their New Zealand made, designer uPVC spouting and downpipes known as the Marley Stratus Design Series® was the perfect answer to the situation.
Marley offered to replace Bear Park’s system free of charge with their uPVC Typhoon® spouting and 80mm round downpipe in a copper-metallic finish. This has solved the nursery’s problem once and for all without the need to sacrifice their much loved copper look.
The Stratus spouting and downpipe system is low maintenance, which suits Bear Park’s busy schedule. Even with the centre’s position near the coast, products from the Marley Stratus will never rust and they are guaranteed for 15 years. Not only are there two colour finishes to choose from, the Marley Stratus Design Series® is available with internal or external brackets to create different looks. Knowing that the product is also 100% recyclable ensures complete peace of mind.
We’re really thrilled with the result; the product looks great, and we don’t have to worry about thieves anymore. We can’t thank Marley enough for their generosity
says Nikki Joyce, owner of Bear Park Nursery.
Meadowbank, Auckland
Design Challenge: Match a modern aesthetic and remove a concealed gutter system.
This delightful Meadowbank residence has undergone an extreme make over from a 137m² floor plan to a 265m² floor plan. Aside from adding a new level, the house has also become more refined with its new external spouting from the Marley Stratus Design Series®.
Marley’s Typhoon® half-round spouting and RP80® 80mm round downpipes are an external system that not only keeps water outside the building but also create an eye-catching aesthetic
The dwelling’s original spouting was set behind a fascia, creating problems with moisture ingress into the building envelope. The concealed gutter system was also unflattering to the house’s modern look. Marley’s Typhoon® half-round spouting and RP80® 80mm round downpipes are an external system that not only keeps water outside the building but also create an eye-catching aesthetic. The homeowner, Dave Thomas, selected internal spouting brackets to further accentuate the smooth visual lines framing the house. The Marley Stratus Design Series® offers peace of mind as it is purpose–built for New Zealand’s varying weather conditions, and will never rust.
Like all Marley spouting and downpipe systems, the Marley Stratus Design Series® has been designed with the planet in mind. It is 100% recyclable, certified for use with potable water and long-lasting with a 15–year guarantee.
