LESS EXPENSIVE THAN TRADITIONAL DOWNPIPES

Not only are Vortique downpipes directly price competitive with traditional downpipes but you’ll also enjoy additional savings on:

• Groundwork - fewer pipes means less drainage excavation

• No on-site assembly required

• No scaffolding required

• Easy DIY installation

SOPHISTICATED STYLING

Inspired by the smooth lines and gentle curves found in the works of Frank Gehry.

SUPERIOR FINISH

Colour matched to your exact requirements, each Vortique downpipe is precision shaped and powder coated to give a consistently superior quality finish that will outlast any exterior painted surface.

DURABLE AND CORROSION PROOF WITH A 50 YEARS DURABILITY WARRANTY

The unique shape and profile combined with the structural integrity of extruded aluminium means it’s tough. Tough enough for Vortique to offer a 50 year durability warranty on every piece.

NO ON-SITE ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

Vortique is a seamless one-piece system that does away with unsightly joins, sharp angles and collars meaning you take delivery of a pre-made downpipe that is simply screwed in place. Installation service is available on request.

SIMPLE & QUICK INSTALLATION

The unique 2 step installation process means all you need is a spirit level, a cordless drill and/or basic hand tools to install an entire house lot of Vortique downpipes quickly. Each pipe can be installed in minutes.Louis Vuitton Foundation, Paris, France

EXCEEDS EUROPEAN ANDNEW ZEALAND BUILDING CODES FOR FLOW

Vortique’s patented profile enables true siphonic flow which results in significantly better flow rates than traditional downpipes. Vortique exceeds European and New Zealand Building Code requirements. Unlike traditional downpipes which rely on a series of joiners which disrupt flow, Vortique is seamless and performs at a minimum of 140% of traditional downpipes at any drop length. This percentage increases with each extra joiner inserted in traditional products.

This means that for each square metre of roof Vortique requires 40% fewer downpipes.

Note: With traditional downpipes systems every additional joiner reduces effective flow by a further 15% (approximately). Therefore more traditional downpipes are required per square metre of roof area in order to meet European requirements.

ENJOY ADDITIONAL SAVINGS

• Groundwork - less drains required per square metre of roof

• No on-site assembly required

• No scaffolding may be required

• Easy DIY installation

• Less digging required

• No cutting required

• No measuring required

• No painting required

• No assembly required

• No need for a plumber to install
