Above-ground drainage

St-Gobain PAM UK has launched a dedicated micro-site that enables visitors to compare the features and benefits of cast iron and its push-fit drainage systems Eez-Fit against some other materials.

The site compares three main materials used in above-ground drainage in categories such as product life and sustainability. They are cast iron, HDPE and stainless steel

The site also covers factors such as fire resistance, acoustic performance and ease of installation — all areas where comparisons have been made at independent laboratories and which have highlighted the benefits of cast-iron systems over the alternatives.
