Durable solution for Gwalia Housing Association

Marley Alutec’s aluminium rainwater and eaves products have been used on a high quality modern social housing development in Swansea, Wales. Consisting of 14 properties, the £1.5 million project embodies the durable, practical and cost effective ethos so needed within the sector.

Completed by Gwalia, part of the Pobl Group, the development of seven pairs of semi-detached houses in West Glamorgan represents the ideal model of affordable family housing. Designed to blend in with the local architecture and provide dependable performance for the foreseeable future, it was important to achieve a modern aesthetic and choose building products that would stand the test of time.

Installed at the project was Marley Alutec’s Evolve half round guttering and Flush-fit downpipes, as well as its Evoke fascia and soffits. All of these have a life expectancy of 50 years or more and are almost completely maintenance free, reducing life cycle costs and disruption to residents.

Elfed Roberts, Head of Projects at the Pobl Group, said: “Marley Alutec has been very helpful throughout the design and build process and we will be looking to use their aluminium products again in the future. Its products were essential in helping create the modern and visually pleasing exterior we were after.”
