Standalone House – Traditional
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.
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
